November photo favorites

^ Paige loves to put our shoes on and adding accessories! 

^ Ellie wants her photo taken with the Target dog 'Bullseye' every time we pass by it. 
(Another photo below.)

^ It's getting a little bit tight with us three girls in this chair, 
but I love when we get to share this time together.

^ I posted a video (on Instagram) of the song Ellie was singing while she walked around this pole. 
It was hilarious...
"Dashing through the snow, it's so much fun on a one horsin' sleigh, 
Hey Hey Hey, who's stolen my sled?!..."


^ What kids see, they do. Both Ellie and Steven drink the milk out of their bowl when they're done with cereal, and now Paige does as well. No coaxing at all.


^ I was able to join Ellie at her school for their Thanksgiving feast. She wanted to say "TURKEY!" when I took this photo. 

^ For the first time ever I decorated for Christmas before Thanksgiving and I LOVED it!

^ Ellie will probably be sooo embarrassed by this picture when she's older. I just couldn't resist snapping this and posting it; it's too funny! So, before we left the house Ellie found one of Paige's swim diapers and wanted to wear it as a hat. And then on the drive to the store, she fell asleep. I didn't let her wear into the store, however ; )


We took a short, but sweet, trip to Oregon to visit my side of the family the week of Thanksgiving. We enjoyed our time seeing people and going downtown. 




^ Ellie has been loving crafts and Grammie had some ready for her!

^ Got to meet one of the newest little cousins and it melted my heart having our kids "play together". 


Came across some snow on the way home from Oregon and it was beautiful sitting untouched. 



^ Can never have too many tutus on!

^ Been loving seeing these girls playing more with each other. 

^ Paige enjoys sitting in the big chairs like a big girl, often. 

^ Ellie has been surprising us with how often she gets tired and falls asleep on the way somewhere in the later afternoon. So we've implemented a short nap a couple days a week to see if it helps.

October photo favorites


I know these are blurry, but I love how giddy Paige was when Ellie was giving her a "check up".


^ Whenever Ellie sees a puddle she wants to jump in it!

^ So glad I finally got a picture of the girls loving on Steven after he'd been gone for a little while one day. They seriously get so happy like this bascially every single time. 


Going on a quick drizzaly walk to a store nearby. The girls enjoyed it, despite these looks! ha


^ Paige has been getting herself in her rocking chair (or Ellie's) and usually brings a book. 
And I can't get over that lounge. haha

^ Took her socks off and tried one of big sis's dress up shoes on all by herself. 

^ Ellie wanted to wear her jean jacket to match me! (And you'll see that this month she had a thing about sticking her tongue out for pictures...)


Some park fun with our friend Lily! (Paige and daddy were at home hanging out.)


^ This girl still sucks on her fingers. And even though we're trying to get her to stop that habit, I can't help but automatically think of her as a 6 month old doing this, which makes me think time has gone so fast. 


This top photo, and few below, are of Ellie and I on her 1st school field trip to the pumpkin patch. Even though we ended up going to a pumpkin patch twice in one week (previously with friends), we weren't complaning! 






^ We were on a walk and Ellie wanted me to take a couple pictures of her! 

^ I think this was her first time painting a pumpkin!? Such concentration. 










^ These two (insert heart eyes). We love seeing their friendship grow. 


Got invited to our friends house for some leaf pile fun!





^ Always wanting to "help" hold the shopping list.

^ Paige started using a fork and was an automatic pro! 



Paige was laughing so much in these photos as Ellie was hugging her 
(not choking her, as it may look)! 


^ Happy Halloween from a Lost "Girl", Smee the pirate cook, Peter Pan and Tinker Bell! 
Great night with friends.
