Thanksgiving Day

Christmas just CANNOT start for me unless I have watched the Macy's parade. It REALLY cannot start if I don't see Santa at the end. It has been a tradition in my life for as long as I can remember and I have never missed a year. It's just exciting for me.

Yay for Santa!

We did Thanksgiving with everyone the day before Thanksgiving and it was a great time. Because of that we went to have Thanksgiving with Jay at work. This is the second year in a row now that we have done it and we love it. We love the people Jay works with and it is nice to see them. It is of course the nicest though to get to spend at least a few moments with Jay on the holiday that he always works. We are indeed very grateful for him and for his job and that it provides for our family. Thank you for being the worker in the family my love so that I can stay at home and raise our little crazies!

I am pretty sure she is wondering why I am making her sit in the pokey dying grass.

This was at about 7 months, just a bit before she learned how to crawl.

I never realized how many freckles Jenn had until I saw this picture. Holy freckles!

Making such an effort on the monkey bars.I don't want to go down the slide.Love the mohawk!Having a nap while we walked around the park.

Polka Dots & Lollipops

Sweet baby Olivia at about 7 months. I could take pictures of this girl all day.

She prefer I NOT take pictures of her all day though. Poor tortured baby.

Her first taste of a lollipop.

She loved it!

Trick-Or-Treat

Trying to figure out what that green stuff is she's sitting on.

My crazy, yet so very adorable kids.

Our jack-o-lanterns all lit up.

Those are some cute trick-or-treaters.

Sophie says CHEESE!

This was the best house that night. If you wanted candy you had to go through the haunted house they made in their garage. The kids were scared but came out just fine on the other side.

Cutest little witch of the year.

Poor little lambie just couldn't handle all the fun. Night night my little sheep.

Costumed Kiddos

Our adorable kids in their Halloween costumes. They are just too cute!

The Monarch Butterfly

The Messenger of Death

The Sweetest Little Lamb

Poor baby was not feeling the love of the costume let alone taking pictures in it. (Below) Someone killed the sheep.

My big kids always seem so big to me. It's not until moments like these when I look at them and remember that they really are still so small.

Noah fell asleep on our bed one night and Olivia kept looking at him like she had no clue what he was doing. She yelled at him every now and then but he didn't budge.
