Happy Thanksgiving!

Happy Thanksgiving, we're so grateful for the wonderful people in our lives!

I'm especially grateful for our little family.  Thanks to Stephi Jean Photography for capturing our crew so well!

 C-Mile Sibs






 She was cold and whiny and you wouldn't have never known...


He was cold and it was during his morning nap, but he was a champ!


 Mason's over it
 Daddy's girls
 Love these two and their special bond!
 I love Libby's hand on Reid's


 Mason says Brrrrrr
 Thankful & Grateful!

Little Bit of This & A Little Bit of That

I feel like life has slowed down a little bit and I'm able to soak up my days home with my two littles. Just in time for the Holidays to begin :)

Emma had her first dentist appointment, she played Dentist with Libby to practice
She rocked it! "Mom, are you so proud of me? I was super brave!"  She's got a mouth full of clean well spaced teeth!


 She's a SUPER viking fan.  Every Sunday when we get home from Mass she runs upstairs to put her Vikings Shirt on (the best gift, Thomas & Erin!)
 She LOVES to make Daddy happy! How adorable is this pic? I blew it up and put it in her room!
 Mommy's just as big of a fan! Thanks Grandma and George for the Skol sleeves :)
 Libby wanted to pose too, in her purple dress
 This has been a long time coming.  One of the closets was a dumping ground for the girls when I would say "Clean up the basement"  I made it my mission to, organize and purge before the start of Birthdays and Christmas.  Plus, when it's a disorganized they're not likely to play with it.  Note to future gift givers.  They really don't play with toys.  The standing repeats are, dress up clothes and things to build like legos, and books.  Have you seen the Facebook articles going around about kids and gifts and giving experiences and time instead of stuff? I kind of like that!

 I should have take a better before of this closet

 and then everything was right with the world again.  When the Bigs came home from school I gave them an "orientation" of where they can find certain things and how each bin, shelf or closet had a specific purpose or theme.  We'll see how long it stays...
 Princess Snow-White and her Prince, "Look at the camera Mason"
 Are you doing it?
 The faster you look and smile the faster mom will be done

 Jackpot!
 Oh time hop...3 year's time
 The Thanksgiving Card assembly line.  I love sending Thanksgiving cards.  I think it's my favorite Holiday.  No hustle and bustle about it, and celebrating exactly what needs to be celebrated, family and friends and what we're thankful for
 My little fuzzy snuggler! Sally calls him "Fuzzy wuzzy was a bear, fuzzy wuzzy had some hair!" Fuzzy for short :)
Mom, take a picture of me, eating my yogurt with some of Daddy's granola and send it to Daddy.  It will make him smile.
The cutest case of bedhead! You can spot his two bottom toofers


His little sweater and jeans!
My friend Liz arranged a fun night for the ladies to get together.  The only pic from the yummy dinner and fun conversation at punch bowl.  Love you too, Care!
The first of many month kid dates.  Thanks to the idea from my sister.  Each kid gets 3 dates a year.  One random month, their half birthday month and their birthday month.  Sally was so excited to go with Daddy.  She even helped pick his clothes out to match.  She welcomed the idea of not leaving until 6pm so she could have more time to get ready, do her hair, paint her nails...so sweet!

How sweet is this?!

Kiddie Cocktail!
Dessert the size of her head, they shared it

I guess the waitress couldn't get over how cute their little date was.  She was excited to be able to take a picture for them
Checking out the pretty tree downtown Victoria

Next up is Libby for her Birthday month of December!

Emma enjoying building with her blocks, she's creating my bed

Here's a gem of a snapshot of life with 4...Emma's always there for the kicker...
