Happy Thanksgiving

Hope you all had a super Thanksgiving! We had some surprise guests for dinner so I haven't had time to post - but - here are our pics. Grammi and Papa, and Aunt Hopie and Brittany, and Jade, and Grace all surprised Chris and the boys by coming for Thanksgiving. We all had a super time!

We made a Gingerbread house...

We got to visit with Santa Claus...AND WE GOT SNOW!!!!!

There is nothing better than being with family on Thanksgiving, and I am so thankful that Grammi and Papa, and Hope and the girls were able, and willing, to come to cold, Ohio to be with us!

Proud Moments

A new blanket for baby sissy Part 2

I seriously thought about returning the blanket to get something more girly, but I absolutely love the fact that the twins picked it out (and will say "I got this for my baby sissy"). So I didn't have the heart to return it. So...I doctored it up. What do you think?

A new blanket for baby sissy

We all went shopping today. Some of us had birthday money and gift cards burning a hole in our pockets:). I wanted to buy our sweet little girl a soft, pretty, special blanket. So, the twins and I went looking at baby blankets. I picked out, literally, every pretty pink blanket and showed it to the twins, but they didn't like any of them. They picked out this one:

After several minutes of trying to convince them to pick a pink one, I caved. I figured..."girls can have tan and brown, she will, more than likely, be our 'little monkey', and her big brothers picked it out for her. A pink blanket couldn't be any more special." Right? Tell me what you think. Can this blanket be for a girl, or am I so surrounded by testosterone that I have lost touch with what's girly?

A Baby Gift

Last night my neighbor sent over a gift for the new baby. It is a sweater, with a matching hat and booties that she and her daughter made. It is so beautiful I had to write about it. This woman is truly talented - everything she makes (we have received baked goods, Christmas ornaments, and other knitted things) is unbelievably beautiful and well made.

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!

I hope you all had a fun Halloween and that you all got lots and lots of candy!! We had a great birthday party for Trevor. Everyone had a great time trick-or-treating, and it was fun to have lots of friends over for Halloween. Can you guess what everyone FINALLY decided to be?

(Answer: Brandon and Trevor were GI Joe guys, and Joshua was Han Solo)

(Answer: Reagan and Jason settled on being Pirates)

(I settled on passing out candy while daddy took the boys trick or treating so I only wore the shirt of my scarecrow costume:))
