Thanksgiving~

It was Penelope's first Thanksgiving!

and she loved it.

There was face painting-- Aunt KK was kind enough to paint Emmy's face-- it was a lot cuter BEFORE Emmy touched it...

We went to Sacramento for Thanksgiving and it was a blast- steeped in fun, family, food and festivities!

When Grandma Di wasn't cooking- she was walking Elles around- (post to come about Ellie's greatness in walking and tooth)

Like my Grandma, I ADORE the parade-- and I've passed it on to Ems- yes!

I love this pic-- check out Emmy's face in both- classic.

Ahh the feast-- and it was a feast indeed-- DELISH is all I can say-

At first, Elles wasn't so sure-- then she decided that she loved everything about Thanksgiving.

Emmy and the twins had a partaaaay riding Uncle Jason around-- Ellie tried to get in on the action-- but I think it may have broken J's back.

To top off the trip, Aunt Kaley made cake pops with Emmy-- they were beautiful.



emphasis on were-Uncle Cam dropped them and this was the final result-- they still tasted amazing though!

I am thankful for these cute girlies who brighten every moment of my life- I'm thankful for an amazing husband who is practically perfect in every way- I'm thankful for generous and loving family-I'm thankful for the gospel, I don't know what I would do without it- I'm thankful for such a blessed life in a country I love-- we really couldn't ask for more.

Cousins!

Little best buds-- Emmy loves her cousins--

While at The Borchardt's house Emmy had the time of her life-- this includes but isn't limited to: blanket rides.

escaping the "crazy rolling log"

and then even more blanket rides.

Can't you just feel the glee?


Action shots--these kids have some serious hops!

hineys and candy necklaces~

It's been forever- I know, unforgivable- I have to much to catch up on! But with this new year comes a new goal-- get back to the blogger I once was-- whoot whoot!
What is it about a sleeping baby?! I can't even stand it.


irresistable.

This child! She is such a doll baby.
