December 1-7

Sometimes you just get sent to the Corner!

And sometimes you just gotta accessorize!

And sometimes you just gotta keep the 80's alive!

And sometimes mom comes up with an activity that everyone actually enjoys

And sometimes you just gotta observe!

And the results - very easy to tell whose is whose here! Adella is on the left - very organized pattern, Nora's in the middle and she gave up quick and then Charlie's is all over the place.

And sometimes you get your own tree's to deocrate

And sometimes your daddy's work has a circus party and it's so fun!

And just one time you turn 9 months old!

We really truly can't imagine life without this cutie.  She is such a blessing in our family.   She is so stinking happy and so stinking adorable it's hard to do anything but love on her sometimes!   She is truly so pleasant and generally only gets upset when she is tired or everyone leaves the room without her!  She adores her brother and sister!  She is rolling and moving all over, no crawling yet!

She love Jesus Wants Me For A Sunbeam and has started mimicking actions to Do as I'm Doing (no joke, she really truly does it!  I'm trying to get it on camera, but so far failing- typical right?!)

She loves toys and books and stuffed animals.  Loves to play peek -a -boo and does it all by herself (she loves when we ask where she is).   She is starting to use her voice more and reaches and grabs for anything and everything to stick in her mouth!   She still can't tolerate oral feedings but she is growing and happy and healthy!  We couldn't ask for a more perfect little lady!

November 24-30

I didn't do so great at getting my camera out this week!  And I completely failed to document anything for Thanksgiving!  We put up our tree, and only broke a few ornaments (um, all me!   But to be fair it's the first time we've had the tree not on carpet!)  Charlie and Adella LOVED helping to decorate!

 

I am a big supporter of small business saturday- especially with the Amex statement credit!  Free fabric and tools!  Yeah!

Paisley and I did a vendor booth- the even was DEAD, but our booth was pretty!

We also got Lamars because well, they are a small business and we definitely like to support them!

And just our happy little girl!

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!
