Thanks

or maybe that should be 'No Thanks' as the post title... that's what you'll be thinking once you view the following pics...

These pics are some of my worst due to most of them being taken at night with no flash. The first pics were taken on Thanksgiving at Michael's brother's house, the other pics were taken the Friday and Saturday after Thanksgiving.

I liked the look of the fence with the contrast of the dark ground and the interesting lighting in the first two pics... the girls were in their Uncle's backyard playing with a dog through a hole at the bottom of the double gate.



Later on the girls went on the other side of the double gate to play with the dogs. Caitie is crazy about this dog...


it looks like the feeling is mutual. :)


Looking over their Uncle's RV. We might try it out soon.


Preparing for a game of pool... her version of it, anyway.



Dirt bike riding followed... first with Uncle David...


then with her daddy.


Then it was Bailey's turn.


Then my turn. Yes, I let someone else touch my camera... someone holding a beer in one hand and my camera in the other... that didn't know how to use my camera and just had five seconds of instructions on how my camera works... and as you can see, his (david's) pic came out better than my pics. um, yeah...


Caitie's in line again for another ride...


While riding, Caitie felt warmth in her right shoe... as you can see here, her shoe got burned; it was from a hot pipe on the dirt bike, her foot was against it on the ride.


The next night (friday) we went to The Fresh Beat Band Concert.

I took this pic a few days after Caitie's birthday; the tickets were one of her birthday presents. I made these tickets to put in her birthday card; the actual tickets were at will-call, which we picked up the night of the concert. I think the tickets came out kinda cute and colorful, if I do say so myself. um, yeah...

These pics are from the night of the concert. My DSLR camera wasn't allowed, but I did take in my point and shoot camera. I took these pics towards the end of the concert... with flash (shocking, i know). The band is on the stage with confetti coming down.



I wanted to get the girls in the pic... even if it does show just the back of their heads. ha Caitie sulked for most of the concert because we wouldn't get her a glow-in-the-dark toy being sold at the concert (the price for the toy was ridiculous). It didn't help that the girl in front of us, along with many other kids, were waving them during the concert. Bailey kept trying to get to the stage. She wanted to be in the band, I guess. It was a lovely evening. ha :)


To make up for the glow-in-the-dark toy disappointment, Michael suggested we go to IHOP for dinner. The toy was soon forgotten. I think we all had more fun at IHOP than at the concert. Bailey was enjoying some of my caramel hot chocolate. It was yummy.


We had breakfast for dinner. I love when that happens.


Can you find Caitie in this pic?


The next night (saturday) we went to grandma and grandpa's house to help decorate one of their Christmas trees. I should say that Michael and Caitie helped... I just took pics. Caitie loves decorating Christmas trees. She now has one of her own in her room. It's pink. um, yeah...


Bailey relaxed on the couch with some Christmas bears.


She eventually went to sleep.














Thanks for making it to the end and viewing all my low-quality pics. I really need to give in and start using the flash on my DSLR camera. Maybe someday...
