November, Part Deux

Thanksgiving week was full of fun! My cute cousin Katie came down with her family to go to Disneyland. Every time I see them I wish we lived closer to them. They are some of the nicest people I know. Our kids piled on Christmas Mickey Kelsey and her little girl are born in the same month. They play cute together. My cute kids! The kids had fun on Tom Sawyer's Island. Thanksgiving Day we went to visit my mom and dad and grandma. My sister and her little girl came too. Jeremy got to read the book to grandma that she'd given him and show her how much he's learned. Kelsey got her picture taken in the family high chair. It's over 100 years old. It was nice to talk to my mom. I don't get to see her very often. On our way home we stopped by our friend's house to drop off some baby clothes and got to visit with the Greer/Huffaker/Ireland family. So fun to see them! I wish I'd taken a picture, so I just stole this one off FB. Then we drove home and went to our neighbor's house for dessert and fun. The kids had fun with this cool toy. Friday we went to the park for a family photo shoot! Thanks so much to my awesome SIL Kathryn for taking our pictures, and Jared too! She's fixing the lighting on them and I can't wait to see them all done, but here's just one. Kelsey stepped in dog poop and then got it on David and I so we went home to change and then took our photographers to Mimi's for dinner afterwards. Yummy. They brought me the wrong soup by mistake so I got another soup for free! On Saturday we had a Jenkins family Thanksgiving. Kathryn made place settings for everyone with these cute lollipop turkeys. Kelsey tried to eat her lollipop with the wrapper still on. Silly girl. We all had fun holding our new nephew, Chase.Kelsey loves babies. It was Chase's blessing day as well, and he got blessed in the same little outfit Jeremy was blessed in almost 7 years ago. I can't believe it's been that long. With that busy week over, our house has fallen into sick mode. The kids and I have yucky colds and we are lucky to have had a healthy Daddy to take good care of us. Monday he stayed home from work. I was glad he did when Jeremy came to me wanting to make a paper boat. Daddy helped him and they had fun floating it in the bathroom sink.
Happy December to everyone! I'm sure this month will be filled with fun adventures as well!

So many fun family times. I like that you sometimes let your husband use the computer. I hate it when Dennis is on when I want to use it. I feel so selfish because I think it's mine ( I act like it is too!) I love that picture of you with your mom!

Oh my gosh, I have no clue how to make a paper boat. Nathan will have to handle that responsibility with our kids.

You and Janice look beautiful! I feel like I was there, seeing pictures of Mom and Grandma. Mom looks just like always while watching a child read. I had a flashback moment to homeschooling.

I have to get my pics up from Disneyland too. The one of the girls is really cute. We did a day trip down yesterday too and had lots of fun. We ate at the Blue Bayou. The filet was awesome! Let me know the dates again for Solvang. We'll be home on the 2nd.
