Thanksgiving

We had a great Thanksgiving holiday visiting Micah's family in Alabama. We always love staying at his Aunt and Uncle's farm house...so beautiful!




Annalee had a blast getting to know all of the cousins and aunts and uncles. Of course, her Jo Jo is always a fav.



Grace and Papa (wearing his infamous turkey shirt!)




Annalee also befriended their cat, Tina. Here, she decided to read Tina a story...it was about Jo Jo, Papa, and baby Jesus!



Grace did awesome on her first plane trip!



And Annalee was in heaven on the way home after Papa scored a great deal on a portable Dvd player!




6 Months!




I can never pick just one pic each month for Grace's monthly post! She is half a year old already!! For the special occasion she decided to cut her first tooth. Amazing. She also celebrated by trying rice cereal for the first time and was definitely not a fan. We'll work on that one some more. A few days later while we were headed to Alabama for Thanksgiving, she learned how to say "da da da da." I love hearing those sweet sounds. What a growing girl!

How Could I Forget??

I almost forgot to mention that we bought a house!! It's under renovation right now, but should be ready to move into in the next couple of weeks. Can't wait to show before and after pictures when it's done.

Cutest Almost 6 Month-Old Ever!


Trick-or-Treat










I guess I better get my Halloween pictures up! We had a great time trick-or-treating with Caleb(he was a ninja turtle...handmade by JoJo!) this year. Annalee was Snow White and Grace was a dalmation. Side note story: Weeks ago I ordered the girl's costumes-both dalmation puppies. Annalee was all into 101 Dalmations and she said she wanted to be one for Halloween. Well, that was a rookie mom mistake. Never again will I prepare a costume weeks in advance because she changed her mind! She started asking to be Snow White and I started thinking that would be cuter than a puppy, so the hunt began. I finally found one on Craigslist and she has worn it just about every day since! We couldn't come up with a coordinating costume for Grace, so she stuck with the puppy. Random...Snow White and a puppy dog. (Micah nixed the idea of letting her be a dwarf!)
