A New Tradition - Game Night!

A new McGinnis Family Tradition has been born - Sunday night is game night at our house and the girls are at the perfect age to get excited about it - they anticipate it all week long . . .

Friends in Omaha!

We met up with Mike's high-school buds at the legendary California Taco again! The back room at this place is starting to feel like our living room as we meet here often with the old crew when we are in town with all our kids - catching up while our kids play cards!

Tony, John, Andy, Mike - friends since grade school

Running errands around Omaha and literally ran into Mr. Santa Claus himself!  

Omaha Children's Museum

We decided to leave the crazy Black Friday shopping to everyone else and we brought all the kids/cousins to Omaha Children's Museum on Friday - so much fun!

Thanksgiving in Omaha!

We drove up to Omaha Wednesday morning to spend the long 5-day weekend with the McGinnis Clan and celebrate Thanksgiving! The cousins had lots of fun all weekend long playing all together!

Our Family.

My dear friend, Maggie (Brooks' Mom) just started her own Photography business this past year so when she offered to come over the other Sunday night after dinner and take a few pix of our family - I couldn't resist!  She is SO talented.  Literally we walked out to our backyard for about 15-20 minutes and she was done! And she was able to capture our family right now. Here are a few of my favorites . . .
