I can't believe the month of November is over! Time is going fast for me! Our girls are having more and more personality...and attitude if I'm being honest HA! But November, the month of Thanksgiving, time to reflect on all I'm grateful for - there's a lot. Our family of 4 is challenging at times, but I love these big and little people I get to share life with!
^ Steven made this adorable paper Olaf and turkey (named Squanto by Ellie, after a turkey in one of her books) for/with Ellie one day. Pretty talented guy!
^ This is Ellie focusing so hard, trying to nurse her baby! I could not get over her grabbing a nursing cover, and sitting down to feed her baby. At first she was wearing a dress but it was too hard lifting it up with the cover and getting her baby under there. The "dress needed to come off!" She had done the same thing a couple days before as well (which was her first time impersonating this).
^One afternoon she was playing in her bed, looking at an instruction sheet and sucking her fingers - had to capture
^Quite often at night Ellie puts her arm/hand on her side rail like this and will fall asleep. How is that comfortable and how does her arm not fall asleep?
^Ellie loves to wear my sunglasses!
This spider was up by our front door one day. Steven looked up and at first thought it was a leaf and at a second glance realized it was a SPIDER! This thing was huge- no joke. We had never seen one like this before, but we also figured it was pregnant. Well, we took no shame in squishing that thing, after we took these photos. Thank goodness Steven saw this before it laid all those babies! UGH!
^FIRST date night since Paige was born!! We did dinner at a local pizza place and then we tried dessert at our new Black Bear Diner - yummy food. We laughed a lot that night and enjoyed our time, just the two of us.
^Ellie playing doctor. Paige was a good patient ; )
This shirt was mine as a baby! It is so wide, and looks like there are shoulder pads, haha. With a cardigan it looked quite cute, even though it covered up those sweet back details...
Ellie was really excited to make this "ginger house" (she calls it a gingerbread house now). Of course we all snuck candy to eat during the process and had to taste test the frosting a couple times. It was a fun activity we all did together!
A local donut/coffee shop does a thing called 'Tasty Tales' every Tuesday. They read several books while you can enjoy a discount donut, milk or coffee. Ellie and I were able to leave daddy and Paige at home, while we met up with some friends here. It was fun. (And donuts do seem to make an appearance on here often, but it's a special treat for Ellie, and us. We really limit Ellie on treats and artificial sugar at home - if any of you wonder...)
^ Thanksgiving! The struggle of picture taking with a toddler and a baby!
\
^Ellie made these lego "towers". She informed me however that "the big one is daddy and the little one is me (Ellie)!"
^Hands in the mouth all the time. She likes this chair a lot. When she kicks her feet it makes it bounce
