{ Thanksgiving }

We have really had a wonderful Thanksgiving weekend. I need to get better about

taking more pictures. It seems that once of festivities begin the

camera just sits on the counter, all to be forgotten. We had all of our children here on

Thanksgiving for dinner.

It was really nice.....crazy.....but nice. When you have

3 little ones, a peaceful

dinner is just not going to happen. We also decorated the tree

with more ornaments,

ate at our favorite Chinese restaurant, went to see the Light Show,

David and I got all of our Christmas shopping done

and we got the

last of the artwork hung in Olivia's room.

We have the house all decorated and I had the cutest

little helper ever to help me

with the clean up. She is such a sweet girl.

Loves to dress up

and be with me.

What more could I ask for? ;)

It seems like the past week was filled with school activities. All the kids had feasts in their classrooms. The day Andrew and Daniel did, Emmie did not have school. So........Momma said she had to come attend the sibling parties. As you can see, she is a really good sport

about it. Especially if it is followed by a trip to Starbucks! ;) And Daniel was

beaming having her in the classroom with him. It always brings me to tears

when I see these two together.........they are truly my two miracles.........

I was grateful to be blessed with one.....and when number two came along............

it was an answered prayer.

The boys really have grown quite close. There are days they are like two peas in a pod

and other days they need to have time apart. There seems to be a bond

there that only brothers can have. I am so thankful that they have each other.

And just a quick shot of the kids after we decorated the tree. We added a few more

things since this picture and I can't wait to have Miss Olivia in our

pictures next year. We have had much to be thankful

for this past year and the New Year looks to be just as promising. ;)
