The rest of my family made some awesome houses too (it's okay to tell me mine is the best, they won't mind).
This picture is funny. I am one lucky girl.

All That HGTV Watching Is Paying Off
Reo and I put our plethora of design/architecture skills to work this week, and came up with this masterpiece.

A Step In The Right Direction
Finally! I was convinced that I would be carrying this kid across the stage at his high school graduation.
P.S. Sorry about the video quality, it was taken at like 5 in the afternoon, so of course it was pitch black outside (boooo on winter)!
P.P.S. Sorry Dad, I know you requested a post from Reo, but this isn't it...

It's The Most Wonderful Time Of The Year...
Christmas card time! 
There's more of his super cute face where that came from if you want it!

Come on...You know you want to! Who doesn't like getting mail?
P.S. For those of you who have given me your address four million times, I promise I have come up with a system to make this the last time. Apparently there are these things called address books...Maybe you've heard of them?

Why One is Fun!
Author's Note: Unless you like my kid almost as much as I do, you may find this post slightly boring. Consider yourself warned...
A glimpse of what Holden has been up to since turning the big oh-one!
1. Obtaining some mad standing skills, and looking pretty darn pleased with himself for doing so. Please don't ask him to take any steps however. He's not interested. And he might bite you. Hard.
2. Learning to brush his ever multiplying teeth. 3 teeth (including 2 molars) in two weeks does not a happy Holden make. Don't even think about trying to catch a glimpse at said teeth, either. He might bite you. Hard.
3. Reading his books to death. Literally. It's like a literary massacre around these parts. Hide your children's books. They shouldn't have to see such decimation.
4. Stacking anything he can get his hands on. In this particular case, it was canned goods. Next time, it will be dented canned goods.
5. Looking and acting all together too grown up.
6. And cute.

Not What I Signed Up For
I had a baby instead of getting a dog specifically to avoid scenarios like this one...
Seriously, I cannot keep this kid out of the trash. What gives?!?

Halloween Highlights
Just a few memorable moments from Halloween at the Manning house..
1. Holden's first trick or treating experience at his Grandpa's office, complete with lots of candy, lots of strangers, and only getting mistaken for a girl twice!
2. Annual Halloween party with friends, complete with way too many doughnuts eaten off of the floor during the "doughnut game," tons of Halloween Bingo fun, and a solo by Art Garfunkel (who is pictured below).
3. Dressing up in our Info-mercial costumes, complete with the Shamwow guy, the most comfortable costume ever in form of a Snuggie, and me channeling my 1999 self by curling my hair under a la girl on the Snuggie box (which despite my efforts didn't look anything like the girl on the Snuggie box. I blame my lack of swoopy bangs).
4. Traditional Papa Murphy's Jack O' Lantern pizza, complete with traditional Jack O' Lantern goiter.
