Siblings?

Maybe we have a little bit of German in our family line?

Ah, she does love him

Happy Thanksgiving

Kenzie wrote what she was thankful for. The last one (after teriyaki) was a forced addition by Felix.

Dinner play

For the Averills, when two or more are gathered together...we throw things. The dinner table is no exception. Actually, you might say that the dinner table encourages us to throw things. Last night Grammy and Grampy were over for dinner. Mistakenly, we let Grampy have a throwable object (a cork) and a platform (a salt jar). He decides to try to flick it to Grammy's tea. He misses, Mason fetches and returns the cork to Grampy. Repeat.

This went on for a full ten minutes before I shot this clip, about the same time that Grammy decided to fight back.

It's a job for a big sister

Still, the tooth. First we went out to dinner with our friend Corrin. She was a good sport and tried to pull, but made a rookie mistake:

Today Kenzie finally stepped in.

STILL wiggly

Sister Mermaid

If only Felix had been a girl. And a mermaid. (and had bulging muscles)

Happy Halloween!

Halloween had a little extra creep this year. Kenzie was a ghost. Mason was a zombie that got stabbed in the head and run over by a car. For the first time Kenzie went out with her friends, not with us. Mason, Felix and I went to Liz and Casey's with Josh and Luke, searching for expensive houses that are no more than ten feet apart.

This sums it up

Mason had his final soccer game of the season last night. When giving his award, the coach said that Mason is the most aggressive player out there and shows off his dancing feet. I think he means that his bullish nature makes him effective, but maybe not the most graceful, as demonstrated in this 1 minute clip: he falls down twice and scores a goal. (Purple shirt, black socks.)

Class photo shoot

...or chance to snuggle the teacher?

New camera

Cindy's new car has a camera. Primary purpose is to make sure the coast is clear when backing up. Secondary purpose...

Mud ball

Karate

Mason got another belt, still loving karate.
