The ride home from Amarillo got a little long near the end. We were all getting a tad slap happy as we pulled into Gunnison around 5:30 on Saturday. Gulliver had put on his sunglasses earlier in the day, but apparently did not realize it was now pitch dark outside. The song "Werewolves of London" came on the radio. Mark and I started singing it, and by the end Gulliver joined in with us. I caught some on video and it just cracks me up! Take a look….

Deck the Halls
We ventured out to the stores on Black Friday while we were in Amarillo. One of our purchases was a Christmas Tree! Tonight we trimmed a tree in our house for the very first time. Gulliver is quite interested in it... he touches the branches and twists the ornaments and scoots the tree ever so gently. He "ho ho ho's" for Santa Claus. I think we're going to have a very fun Christmas this year. Bring it on!
Thanksgiving in Amarillo
Gulliver really enjoyed eating the elk pate Mark made to bring to Amarillo. We spread it on saltines and he gobbled it up.
Gulliver and I made turkey cookies. This was our first adventure together in the kitchen. He stirred the mix for about 30 seconds and then was on to other things. He put 2 candy corns on and then just wanted to eat the cookies. He definitely enjoyed licking the spoon covered with icing! Typical kid. ha
The drive from Crested Butte to Amarillo usually takes about 8 hours, with minimal stops. We made the trip in about 8 1/2 hours both ways. Gulliver did great in the car. He spent a lot of time just looking out the window. His taxi never left his hand. He also entertained himself with lots of babble. I put his red fleece hat on him when we left the house in the morning. Apparently it was quite cozy, because he did not take it off until we arrived in Amarillo... 9 hours later. Oh my. Don't know what was up, but he did not want to take that hat off. Pretty funny.
We enjoyed mild temperatures on Thanksgiving and got to run around in the yard at Aunt Gail & Uncle Brent's house before everyone arrived. The golf cart, of course, was a huge hit.
Aunt Gail brought out the Santa Train and it provided much entertainment. Gulliver suckered anyone he could into playing it with him...
And of course, there was plenty of football to watch...
I didn't take any pictures of the Thanksgiving festivities, but we enjoyed seeing the Moores, the Archers, Aunt Marilyn & Uncle Leon, and Dwayne & Roberta.
We went to the zoo on Friday and got to see lots of animals... monkeys, tigers, lions, bears, snakes, wallabies, and a bunch of other cool stuff...
And Uncle Brent spoiled us with some tasty smoked ribs & chicken on Friday night. Mmmm mmm good! Was great to spend the holiday with family. Gulliver definitely had a good time!

November
November is flying by...
We've had some snow, but nothing that stays around for very long. Finished up another session of Munchkin Music. Gulliver has become a pro at the "bah bahs" we learned in class. Mom gave the little man another haricut. Bath time is fun again. Loves trucks. And trains. And chasing the dogs around laughing hysterically. Gulliver is much more selective about what he eats these days. He's still trying very hard to get both feet off the ground when he jumps. He can't get enough wrestling time with dad. Gulliver now dislikes having his photo taken, so I just don't get as many pics as I used to!
