Thanksgiving Dinner!

Hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving! We have so much to be thankful for this year. At the top of our list is these three turkeys!

Lacy turned 10 months old on Thanksgiving day! She always sticks her little tongue out to the side like that :)
Lily playing with her.
She loves her little sister.

We hosted dinner at our house this year! My parents, Jamie & Ann, Jeremy & Heather, Uncle Larry and Maryellen came :) Anson and I both helped to make dinner. We are a great team. Dinner was a success. We were so thankful that my parents came. Dad was released from the hospital earlier that morning. They didn't stay long but at least they were able to come. Unfortunately Dad is back in the hospital. He has pneumonia, low blood pressure and keeps blacking out, which leads to him falling. Continued prayers, please, for his recovery!


Carving the turkey!


Good thing we bought this huge table :)



The kids had to eat at their little picnic table. They loved it, though.


Lacy fell asleep in her chair after dinner. The tryptophan must've kicked in!

Ann holding Lacy and Uncle Jamie playing "birdies" on the iPad.

Maryellen brought over a bunch of fun paper and craft stuff to do with Lily. Lily was in heaven :)

Our stockings are hung by our fireplace this year! And "Alf" the Elf came back to spend the next month with us.

Yesterday we put up our tree and decorations. Lacy and I put her ornament on the tree. This is Baby's 1st Christmas :)




Thanksgiving Feast at Preschool

"Moon Flower" Lily and the rest of her tribe put on a show for all the parents last Tuesday from 1-2. I snuck away from work. I had such a wonderful time watching her perform and spending time with her. I took several videos below. My favorite is "Tooty Ta!"

Bathtime Fun, Homework and Dillon saying the alphabet!

Last Sunday night, Anson went on a trip for work. So, I gave the monkeys a bath. I decided to let Lacy join in the bath time fun, instead of giving her a separate bath. It went well. Lily and Dillon were gentle when she was in there and they all had a lot of fun!


Foam heads!


Ducky!


Monkey!


Froggy!

Lily doing her homework the other night. Yes, she has homework for "pre" school!










The finished project. She was so proud! I barely had to help her too. She colored the shapes, cut them out, sorted them, and then pasted them in the right columns. She amazes me!



Pretty girl!

Eating lemons at the Olive Garden!

Strange children!

Lacy was eating a coaster. No lemon for her just yet.

Dillon saying the alphabet!

October Fun: Part Four

This past Sunday was Papa's birthday. We celebrated at our house with pizza, cake and pumpkin carving! It was a lot of fun.



Papa playing ponies with Lily. He's the best Papa in the world!

Carving pumpkins! Finished pumpkins.







I was trying to get all 3 kids but Lacy was grabbing the pumpkins and Dillon was throwing a fit.



Trick or Treat at our house! Nana and Papa came over to pass out candy and clown around while we took the kids.

Ready to go!


Dillon was so cute and he kept his costume on the entire time.



























Baby girl trying to stay warm.
Going through all their candy. They kept opening suckers, licking them twice and then moving on to either another sucker or other candy!
