Thankful During Thanksgiving

We went to Buhler the weekend before Thanksgiving to hang out with Mimi, Papa, and the Simons. We went to the Christmas parade in Hutchinson....it was COLD COLD COLD! And the parade was long - we ended up leaving before the parade was over...I think we were there for an hour and a half!

 

After the parade we went to the Hallmark store to pick out your ornaments from Mimi. Elijah, Bekkah, and you all got to pick out a special ornament to represent you for Mimi's tree!

 

Trying to get a picture of your Thanksgiving Shirt: it says: "I'm THANKFUL for... pie, mom, dad, home ---it is a very cute sparkly shirt! :)

 

You also got to help Mimi decorate the tree! :)

 

So for Thanksgiving break we went to Gandma and Grandpa's house. We hung out with the Taylors, the Garcias, The Aikins, Naomi, Gandpa and Teresa, your grandparents, Grandpa Jimmie, Grandma Sam....there were lots of people! We went over to Cindy's for Thanksgiving where we also hung out with the Coffields, Nick's family, and Uncle Rodney and Aunt Rhonda!

You love you Gandpa Jimmie!

While the girls were out celebrating Taylor getting married you hung out with Austin and the other boys!

 

 

You guy are so cute! You love hanging out with Gabe and Natalia!

 

I am so thankful this Thanksgiving for family and love. We are VERY loved by all of our family - and we're very lucky to have such a loving and large family! I'm beyond thankful for you little miss! You are growing up and you are so cute and adorable - getting big and learning so much! I look at you and thank God he chose me to be your mommy! I sure am lucky! You are  a beautiful little girl and I'm thankful to share another Thanksgiving with you!

Love you!

Mommy

 

**Our keyboard on our laptop isn't working very good. It likes to leave out about every other letter. I tried to catch most - but if there are letters missing you know why! :)

Christmas Tree 2012

Oh Christmas Tree, Oh Christmas Tree!!

 

Time to go get our Christmas Tree again! This year was so much fun because you knew more of what was going on! Last year, it was rainy and cold - this year was perfect weather!

At first you weren't too sure....you wanted mommy to carry you and you were a little fussy! BUT, it was also, your nap time! :) You did a great job though considering the timeframe!

Checking out the tree!

Auntie M teaching you about picking out a good tree!! :)

You were so excited to run around once you got comfortable!

 

Here is our tree!! We topped it off, and only took 8 feet. It was the best tree we've ever got!

The gang!!

You had to also help walk Murphey!

We also had to take a picture with Charlie Brown for Mimi!

You were so cute when we stood the tree up! Your response was "WHOA!" :)

Helping daddy tighten it in!

Thanks Auntie M for teaching me about the trees! :)

 

 

I'll have to post a picture of the tree later - because apparently I haven't taken any photos of it after we decorated it - but you did love to help me decorate it too! :)

 

So much fun! Next year we'll look for a new tree farm - because they don't have very many tall trees anymore....so we'll need to look for some more! Christmas is just around the corner....we will soon celebrate!

 

You love playing with your Nativity Scene! You like how it plays music!

You also know who Baby Jesus is - which I love! As I was setting up the nativity we were talking about the story and you really latched on to who it was! LOVE IT! Now, everytime we see Baby Jesus you get all excited!

 

Merry Christmas Baby!

Love you,

Mommy
