Christmas in November?

This year the unthinkable happened. We decorated the Christmas tree BEFORE Thanksgiving. I think it was 11/22 to be exact. I know, I know! But it really was fun and a relief to have done. I have too many ornaments to put up all at once, so we pick a color theme each year. This year we decided on blue and silver.



I wish I had taken more pictures. The girls were so cute putting all the ornaments on the tree. Of course they would put them ALL in one spot or one branch and Richard and I spread them around afterwards :)

Fall leaves

We have 2 walnut trees in our front yard and they know how to shed leaves! Richard took a lot of fun pictures last month of the girls playing in said leaves.


Don't believe the innocent look. These were taken right after Bryndi dumped a bunch of leaves on Bella's head!

Run for your life!

Bryndi's hair is getting long!

The girls each took a week of being sick after Thanksgiving. Bryndi never takes naps anymore, so I had to grab this photo of the poor child curled up for a nap one afternoon.

Bella's first shiner. She fell off the bunkbed at her cousin's house :(
