More Random November

Noooo!  No babies crawling up the stairs! 

Dancing with Santa at Lowe's
 

Checking out our new Christmas tree.  We got one that's just a bit taller.

Caught my mom walking around town with the tags still on her purse.

Pop helped me install our new faucet.  A total surprise for 'The Hubs' who was out of town at a race.

So in love with this!

He got some help.

They love Gigi and Pop.

'The Hubs' so proud to have finished his first Urbanathlon.

Snuggles in the morning.

Another Disneyland trip...

Me and 'Munchkin' riding in a clam shell.

Silly boy.

We love the new Carsland.

My adorable boys

Random Samplings of November

My bathtub cuties.  'The Boy' is too old for a bath now.  Five year olds only take showers.  Who knew? 

So happy!
 

Just love this little 'Mister'.

Applying (eating) lip gloss.
 

Soccer tunnel at the last game of the season.

Pretty sure he was so happy because it was the last game.

He loved his trophy.

Riding the Daddybronco.  Good thing we are done having kids.  There is no more room on their. 

'The Hubs' picked up some of the slack when I threw out my back.

Well, half of our house was happy.

Toured my step-dad's plant.

'Munchkin' fell asllep behind her bedroom door with her little hand peeking out.

Catching the tail end of a rainbow...much appreciated!
 

Hello, little stander.

Delicious family dinner = lots of dishes.

Good morning!

Took this silly little girl on a date to Panera.

Made goofy faces while we waited for our food.

I love my girl!

I do not love that she ditched her grilled chese and ate half of my salad.

 

Thanksgiving

I love Thanksgiving.  It is my favorite holiday.  I get very annoyed that it is the little holiday that has been forgotten.  It seems it is overshadowed by shopping and sales these days.  To others, it is a stepping stone or a kick off to the magic of Christmas.  To me, it is about family and being thankful for all God has blessed me with.  It is the calm before the storm.  An opportunity to enjoy my family and kids before Christmas and all of its craziness takes over.  And, even though I was crazy busy prepping for our feast, I loved every moment of it.

I made a few pies the day before.  Why not?

'The Boy' and 'Munchkin' decorated turkey cookies in their pj's wile they watched the parade.

'Munchkin' enjoyed a few Mike and Ike's on the side.

'The Boy's' 

'Munchkin's'.  Hers was abstract.

I love our Thanksgiving table. 

Love our centerpiece.

This year, 'The Littles' ate at their kid table.

My whole family made it!

Making a wish.

An encore performance in an Indian costume this time.

Grandma and 'Mister'.

That's one place to go into a turkey coma.

The next morning, I headed out bright and early to do some shopping.

Just a little bit.

Thanks again to all of my family for such a wonderful Thanksgiving!
