Early Thanksgiving

Last Saturday both of my brothers and their girlfriends were in town so we had a traditional Thanksgiving dinner. It was fun to be all together for dinner.

Daniel and Sheena live in Chicago - hopefully they will move back to the Lincoln/Omaha area so we can see them more. I'd love to go and visit them this spring in Chicago since I've only been there a couple of times. Marcus and Meghan live in Windsor, CO and we can't wait for them to get married in June.

March of Dimes

Tonight was the March of Dimes Signature Chef's Auction. I've gone to this event for the last 4 years and always have a great time. They have all the best Chef's in town there with food to enjoy while you bid on silent auction items. Then they have a fun raffle and the night ends with the live auction. This year was the best by far because I got some great stuff!!!!! The raffle was for 2 boxes of alcohol. I WON!!!! There are 20 bottles of different alcohol and then a gift certificate for a keg of beer from Empyrean Brewing Company. Sorry mom and dad I was a little excited there are not 30 or 40 bottles like I originally told you. Then during the live auction I got a great deal on a 2 night day stay with 2 lift tickets at Keystone.

So I decided to dress it all up to surprise Chris as a Christmas present! I'm sooooo excited. He's at band right now so he'll be home anytime to see the haul I made! I'll post those pictures later. So if anyone is ready to drink and visit Keystone let us know - we'll give you a great deal!!

I love the March of Dimes. I think they do wonderful things for families like us that have premature babies and I'm glad I could have such an exciting night while knowing the money I used is being donated to a WONDERFUL organization. This makes me that more excited for the walk in the Spring. The walk is when I feel I can really make a difference by raising money!

Halloween 2008

We had a fun filled weekend with Halloween adventures. Friday night Ian and I went around to a few houses to trick-or-treat. Ian was a firefighter and I was an 80's rock girl.

Then Ian went to spend the night with Grandma Kershaw so I could go to Chris' show at Duffy's. It was a fun filled night - at least until I got home! There were a lot of great costumes. I had more fun people watching than anything.

Chris & Pat made great rockers in the WolfPuss band!

80's rocker chic, a great witch and Sarah Palin!

Saturday night we had our annual Halloween party.
There were lots of great costumes. We had tons of fun and can't wait for next year!
Amber & Lindsey made the trip from Omaha and Kearney - we were all so happy they came!

Brad & Liz made a great Sunny & Cher.

Can't get much better than Zach's white trash and Shawn as Jesus without a beard!

Allison, Brooke and Brad had a great group outfit and it was hilarous seeing
Wilma and Betty fighting with belts around there arms in the backyard.

Trevor and Dave were in the running for best costume.

But it was Amy & Pat that took home the WINNERS crown. Not many people
could pull of Steve Irwin capturing an alligator with that much ease.

We had lots of FUN so THANKS so everyone that came.
And mark it on your calendar October 31st, 2009 - Nebesniak Halloween Party!

Pumkin Patch

Grandma Kershaw took Ian to the Pumpkin Patch tonight. Ian brought home a small pumpkin and a picture of a spider he drew. Looks like they had fun!

Cupcakes

Ian (& Mommy & Daddy) loves cupcakes. So the other night Ian and I made cupcakes. Ian pretty much did everything buy himself - he even cracked the eggs without getting any shell into the bowl. I think Grandma Kershaw has been teaching him a few things! He shared the cupcakes with his friends at daycare!

Brandon & Kaylee came to play

This last weekend Ian spend the night with Brandon and Kaylee while Chris and I had a work party. Then the next day Brandon and Kaylee came to our house with Michelle and Jeremy worked the football game. They had so much fun playing together!

Busy Weekend

This weekend was very busy for us. Saturday we went to my aunt Sandy's house for Octoberfest. She has all kinds of games lined up for the kids and we get to see lots of family. Ian loved it and did not want to leave - I think he liked having a little forest in the backyard to play in!

Then I went to Hastings to play volleyball with the girls. I'll be happy to tell you that Shooze (our vb team name) won another tournament! Even after a late night on Saturday. GO SHOOZE!

While I was in Hasting Chris and Ian had fun carving pumpkins at Grandma Kathy & Grandpa Vic's house and visiting the pumpkin patch with Aunt Amy, Uncle Pat, Deni and Grandma Kathy.
