pecan picking.

last weekend we went around town to gather up some pecans that we hope will eventually turn into trees at our final house.  each family member picked three pecans and we put them into our marked bags.  we read up on pecan planting on the osu website and hopefully our little guys will survive in our refrigerator until spring.

so proud of lance.  now a lieutenant colonel.

up north!

lance and i spent this past weekend in minneapolis.  he was promoted in october and his pinning ceremony was scheduled for the same weekend as the ball, so i could attend.  minneapolis is really nice and we ended up having perfect weather.  a big thanks to my wonderful in-laws who kept the crazies so we could have a long weekend away.

see, i told you we needed this trip.  we may have been going a bit crazy lately.

pure amazingness...lemon ricotta pancakes from hell's kitchen.  they literally melted in your mouth and so sweet no need for syrup. 

not much better than an oversized, color-changing LED peep!

for nerdy people like us, the lego store was amazing.  and entire wall of lego bricks.

on our way to the 237th birthday ball for the marine corps.

quite possibly the most amazing dessert EVER.  no doubt it was the largest...the picture is deceiving, that is a regular sized dinner plate.  we shared half of it with another table.
