Family Pics!

Rachel took our Family pics again this year and as always did a fabulous job!

November 17-23

Sometimes I take pics just because they are cute 

This girl loves this bead maze!   She's pretty good at moving the beads around too!

Adella and I did mommy/daughter jamicures for our family pics!

This little girl didn't care that mommy had lots to do, she decided it was a day to cuddle instead of nap, so we did

And then she fell asleep- so rare to fall asleep in our arms anymore so I enjoyed every minute!  Dinner was a bit behind that night!

Getting ready for Family pics!

I love this pic!  It's really helpful sometimes to have a twin!

After a crazy day I needed a treat and their just happened to be a Rita's right next to Marilee's eye dr.  I've always wanted to try one so I stopped.  Um YUM!   I bought a big one knowing I would need to share when I got home, but once I started drinking it I didn't want to share at all!

But I did anyway and this guy was also a mega fan!

We went to a basketball game and I hadn't yet gotten a jacket this year for Charlie, but I did have this sweatshirt, to say he was excited about his 'basketball jacket' would be a serious understatement!

He loved the game so much!  Adella wasn't overly excited until we bought popcorn then she was in!

It was a fun night cheering on the Lopes!

There's just something hilarious about a tiny kid in their daddy's shoes!

Swinging at the park with Nora

And I let them pick their own wrapping paper.  I use to love having perfectly coordinated wrapping paper, but letting them choose their own was even more fun!

We made popcorn for our Family Home Evening treat (Charlie is plugging his ears because he doesn't like loud noises AT ALL)

Feasting on our treat!

And over at Nora's they made turkey hats!

November 10-16

So this was sitting in draft!  Darn it!   

Our little Marilee likes to scoot backwards all over the floor and often finds herself stuck under the crib

Adella did this whole puzzle, by herself the very first time out of the package!   She's pretty much an expert now!

Playing with moon sand!  They only made a LITTLE mess!

Marilee has problems reaching the floor because she doesn't weigh enough!

A pillow helped a bit!

Since anything she 'eats' is extra and her tummy can't handle extra she gets to suck on lots of carrot and celery sticks.  She likes it!

Adella loved playing the tickle monster!

I sewed up this dress for a pattern test and I LOVE it!   It's so perfect!  Adella loves it to and it will be her Christmas dress!  Now I need to go grab more fabric to make a matching one for Marilee!

After modeling playing in the park was a must!

I also sewed up this skirt for a Sew-a-long and I won fan favorite!   What you don't see in this pic is Charlie off to the side growling at her in a lion mask!   That's how to get the perfect smile!
