The LaPrade Lifestyle

Our first Thanksgiving together as a married couple! We had Thanksgiving over at the LaPrade House with Ron, Nora, Lorin, Logan, Bill, and Jean (Ross' Grandparents)! Lots of food and lots of fun! All of the ladies made amazing dishes and we had plenty of food to feed a small army!
We watched the Cowboys game and read the juicy gossip magazines that Lorin brings so that we all know what's going on in the "Hollywood" scene! I made potato casserole, quesadilla casserole, and crunchy caramel reeses cookie bars that can be found here : http://picky-palate.com/.

We had a wonderful first married Thanksgiving and hope everyone did too!

Ross, Jessica, Logan and Lorin!

Oh yes...Ross can cook!! Ross had off this weekend and decided to make breakfast both Saturday and Sunday for us! I loved it! We both really love pancakes and so Saturday Ross made pancakes on our griddle that was a wedding gift from Ross' parents! We use it often! Sunday he was craving bacon and I agreed as long as it was turkey bacon! So on Sunday Ross made turkey bacon and eggs! He is really good at making breakfast for us and now I think this should be a tradition that on Thanksgiving week he should make breakfast! ;) ( we will see about that!)

Twilight Saga: New Moon!!! On Thursday night I went with some ladies from work to see New Moon! It was a midnight showing and of course we had to wait in line! I am not one to stay awake during midnight movies but with the popcorn, cookies, water, gummy bears, and chocolate we survived! I have not read the books so I had no clue what was going on and of course jumped when the wolves were on the big screen! I can't wait to see the next one!
Emily, Denise, and Samina! Fun times ladies! ;)

On Sunday Ross and I both had off so we took Parker to the dog park at our apts. He really enjoyed running around and chasing me all over the field! (video later!) It was such a gorgeous day outside we just couldn't resist not taking our precious pup for a big adventure at the dog park! There were no other dogs there so we got to have the whole place to ourselves which we all really enjoyed on a lazy afternoon!Parker exhausted and ready to nap after all the running around!
He is just the cutest dog in the world!

Parker has hair on the top of his head that just stands straight up or moves with his head whenever he walks around the place...so we made him a little cooler by making his has stand out with a mo-hawk! He was a little unsure about it at first but enjoyed all the attention!

Our Christmas stockings are in!!!! I am so excited and absolutely love Pottery Barn and the amazing monogramming that they will do for online orders!!
Ross and I have big stockings and Parker has a smaller one that looks like an elf shoe!
It's so cute I can't hardly stand it! I will post more pics once we decorate the apt for the Holidays!! Just a little peak to tide you over for now! ;)

Over Halloween weekend he met my mom and dad and really lounged around the entire weekend! They enjoyed meeting him and playing with their new grand-dog!

Parker enjoying the great outdoors! He seems to really be into leaves lately...

Asleep in his bed...only for a short while until he moves to the couch with us!

Ready for the holidays in his new Old Navy T-shirt that says Happy Holidays 2009!

He will be sporting it all holiday season! It's green so it matches his collar!

A quick update for now...more pictures and a funny video later! ;)
