November 2015

 My Riley boy never ceases to amaze me. His first quarter of middle school he got straight A's and was honored as a distinguished honor roll student at the middle school assembly. I am so proud of him and just love that he loves school so much! Middle school can be such a weird transition for kids, but he has really enjoyed it. That's just his nature.
 My little Emery has been so expressive of his LOVE lately. Even to Sweetie...He tells me probably 20 times a day, "Mom, I just love you so much!"
 Emery has loved his preschool class. He goes twice a week for 4 hours at a time. He even eats lunch at preschool! He was so proud of his indian gear he made at preschool.
 When we saw this MASSIVE teddy bear at costco, Emery wanted it! Did I mention it is $200?
 YEAH FOR FAMILY!!! My family came to visit us for Thanksgiving! To say my kids were excited is a major understatement! They loved playing with Uncle Robby!!!
 The girls were so excited to have special visitors at school lunch!
 We put on a violin recital for our family and for our next door neighbors!

 On Thanksgiving morning, this crew woke up early to do a family session of Crossfit! Way to go!!
 Regan's only duty on Thanksgiving was to carve the turkey...he rocked it!
 Ashley and her cute family drove to Ohio from Connecticut to be with us for Thanksgiving!
 My Mom and Dad are simply amazing! Not only did they make an amazing Thanksgiving dinner, but they helped us so much as we were preparing to have our new baby!
 Here is the kid Thanksgiving Table. Little did I know that this table cloth would be such a huge hit! Everyone sat down throughout the day to color on it and to play games!
 I love the table before all of the food comes because it just looks so elegant. I especially love the shrimp cocktail, fruit cocktail and the sparkling apple cider!
 We started a new Thanksgiving tradition this year...the girls wrote Thanksgiving Poems and read them before we ate. They were adorable!

 This picture doesn't do Robby's dinner plate justice. It was loaded up so high with yummy food!
 I loved how we had all of our traditional Thanksgiving food. It was pretty neat to cook all of the food together with my family because we realized that all of the recipes came from my Grandma Anderson who passed away this year. We had a good time reminiscing about her and what a great cook she was. My favorites this year were the cauliflower casserole and the stuffing!

 Our last picture as a family of 6!
 My last picture being pregnant...we all wore stripes with no planning!
 My Mom took Ashley and I to get pedicures the day after Thanksgiving hoping it would induce labor, and the girls were pretty upset they didn't get to go so awesome Aunt Ashley gave them their own pedicure!
 Carson and Emery had a ton of fun with Grampy! Emery LOVES hearing Grampy's stories!
 We went to the old antique store in powell with the crew...Regan thought this sign was pretty cool!
 The girls found these adorable vintage hats!
 My kids were totally in love with this little Lucy girl! It was so great to see how much they wanted to hold her and play with her since we are about to have our own little baby!
 Ashley and I were bow making queens! I just love that I finally have a sibling that has a kid close in age to me!!!
 Aunt Ashley is so awesome to make crafts with the girls!
This used to be my church coat! Now Elle gets to wear it! Having my family come to see us was so awesome! The only thing that would have made it better is if I could have had a baby while they were all in Ohio...but this little baby was pretty comfy where she was!
