Thanksgiving was a flurry of cooking and drinking followed by the arrival of the Power Family! After football games were watched, all of the food, pie, wine, and such had been tasted and the Power's returned home, the remaining family trimmed the tree and enjoyed a game of Dominoes before Walker's bedtime. It was a cold, beautiful, rich and wonderful day of gratitude.

Here are the photos:

And below, some photos taken by Pa John of the tree trimming activities!

And finally, two rounds of Dominoes which Walker and Uncle Joel won outright.

Let the Christmas season begin!!!

PJs

Walker gets down on the floor with Charlie to do some army crawling.

This leads to the hall way... 

Then we stop for a photo op... 

Then Walker goes in for a surprise hug... 

Then, to get the boys to smile, Jack moons them.

Walker and Hannah Make a Movie Trailer

Jack and I went out for a date on Saturday. Instead of bedtime stories, Walker and his baby sitter - the extraordinary Hannah - had made the following...

Day at the Park

The Champ Goes in for an EEG

Charlie had a routine EEG on Wednesday this week. It was a big day in the hospital, but our Charlie Fighting Bear took it in stride as he does most things. We'll have some results next week sometime, but until then, here's our little guy in action...

Some pre-EEG snuggling with Dad in the waiting room.

Getting all hooked up and looking concerned.

Finished and feeling triumphant.

At home snuggling after a bath to wash all of the goop from his head and hair.

Snuggling close-up.

Happy boy.

Family Feature

Last week, our family was featured at a blog called "Our Style Stories". My favorite part of the feature are the beautiful photos that Hilary (blogger and photographer) took of the boys. She beautifully captured life in the Greenman house!  Here they are:

Six Years Old Today

Walker Starr is six today. He spent the day at school with his friends and classmates. They celebrated him all day, crowning him superstar of the classroom. Walker chose the lessons and games at school and was even given a big star sticker to wear all day at school. Mama and Charlie showed up 20 minutes before the end of school to deliver a tray of red velvet cakeballs and sing a boisterous round of "Happy Birthday" with Walker's class.
