Back in the saddle

Yep, we're still alive! It's been awhile since I posted last. Here's a little overview of what's been happening with this active Berge bunch.

Grandma, Grandpa and Great Grandma spent the night on their way to NJ for Thanksgiving. We had a great time visiting and playing with the kids. We always appreciate the stimulating conversations we have together.

Adam's big project as of late is finishing our basement. He sprayed paint on the ceilings and walls. Here's a little glimpse of what I saw when he came up at the end. He also laid the tile in the bathroom. We're excited to get it finished!!...I think I'm most excited about not having sheetrock dust over everything.

We headed to Fargo for Thanksgiving and of course, started the festivities off at the Fargo Holidazzle parade with Daniel and Meghan and a whole bunch of friends and family from Triumph. It was COLD but fun. Don't you think Megs and I look so cute in our winter attire??

The cousins played together on Friday...the Daddies boxed on the Wii.

Cousin Olivia came all the way from PA for Thanksgiving. She managed to survive the Berge cousins. If nothing else, they provided many hours of entertainment for her.

And we couldn't forget the annual trip to the roof to help Grandpa set up Rudolph. Somehow he managed to get Hannah (our family chicken) and Darby the dog out onto the roof as well. Never a dull moment...

Our vacation was probably the most relaxing one we've had in a long time thanks to the Wii. We let the boys have way too much fun down in the basement. They didn't fight, trash the rest of the house or tell us they were bored. It was a wonderful situation for all involved. :)

Hannah got a new church coat from Once Upon a Child (LOVE that store - bargains galore!!) and needed to prance around the backyard with Grandpa. I was really surprised that she insisted on wearing the bonnet too. Such a girl.

No Thanksgiving meal would be complete without lefse. Of course, there aren't too many volunteers to butter, sugar and roll all those heavenly treats.

Josiah got to meet Mommy's cousin Josiah. Pretty uncommon to have 2 Josiah's in the same room. Sometimes we even see big Josiah's face in little Josiah's expressions. Cool, huh?

Enjoying some girl time with Auntie - check out the little baby bump!! So excited!
