Thanksgiving 2011, East-Side Chapmans!
On November 19th, we got a visit from Great Grandma Betty, Gramma Marcia, and Grampa Dave because it was time for some ham, buns, and tons of funs! (“Funs” is not really a word.)
Great Grandma Betty checks out a toy catalog with Nina! See this image larger.
Grampa Dave pulled off this self-shot! Nicely done! Nina approved of the technique! See this image larger.
Grampa Dave was asked to watch the horrible “ImagineNext” videos, which nobody will fall for a second time, I can guarantee you. Probably nobody should have to sit through it even once! See this image larger.
*GRAMPA DAVE, LOOKIT!* See this image larger.
There’s some smiles! Ian we’ll work on yours a little. See this image larger.
A bit better, thanks Ian! See this image larger.
Grandma Marcia watches Ian doing something goofy on the iPad. He’s all too happy to show you what he can do on that thing! See this image larger.
We ate some delicious food (thank you Marcia!) and just about the time when everybody said it was a good time to head back, Melissa and I remembered that we wanted Nina to get a little snip-snip. See this image larger.
She immediately looked sooo cute! See this image larger.
But with a little extra time, she just kept looking cuter! See this image larger.
Mommy thought she looked grand! See this image larger.
It was nice to have both Ian and Nina’s first haircuts be from Grandma Marcia! Thank you! See this image larger.
Hi cute kids! See this image larger.
A couple more snips here and there! On a side note, I got to send Gramma Marcia home with some of my cookies! A-ha! The tables have turned! (Marcia was even kind enough to ask me a question about how I did something, which is like Picasso asking an art student how they painted a portrait… I was flattered!) See this image larger.
Almost done! See this image larger.
Voila! Hi cutie! See this image larger.
*Thanks, Grandma!* See this image larger.
An awesome time was had by all! (Did you notice we took down most of the gates? As of today’s date, they’re still MOSTLY down, but a few are in place for obvious reasons… the jury’s still out on whether or not we’ll put back some of them.) See this image larger.
One more picture, and then out the door before it gets too dark out! (It was already way too late to avoid that, but they got home safe! I’d say I’m sorry I kept them, but I’m not 😉 It was great to see them!) See this image larger.
After the grandparents left, Ian and Nina set up the stage for a performance that will be in a video next blog entry, it’ll be a great one, trust me! See this image larger.
