Early Christmas

This weekend Grandma Linda, Andy, and GG have come to O’Fallon to celebrate an early Christmas.  Madeline really enjoyed helping Will open his presents. Here are some pictures of the fun!

Opening presents

Currently Madeline is too busy with her new play dough set to pose for any more pictures or eat lunch! What a great first round of presents!

Cookie Decorating

There is nothing quite like making sugar cookies and icing them with a 2 1/2 year old!  She loved every minute of it and I don’t think I have ever seen so many sprinkles on a cookie or on my kitchen floor. What a fun Christmas tradition!

How we spend our evenings…

This is pretty much how we spend our evenings. All cuddled up on the couch. It’s a rough life…

Yummy Dinner

006

Yep, this is what I cooked Monday night. Steak, sautéed mushrooms,  lobster tail, twice baked potato, & a garden salad. YUMMO!  It just looked and tasted so good I had to take a picture.

Will’s First Sunday

Will headed to church with his big sister leading the way. She was very proud to present her brother to her Sunday School teacher. He did great and didn’t cry a bit! Then we decided to head to Cracker Barrel for his first eating out experience. YUMMY!

Church kind of wore him out!

We were two hungry gals!

First Bath

Today Will had his first bath. He loved it. Not one tear.  Matter of fact, it relaxed him so much he had a diaper change not too long after his bath.

The kids cuddling. I think this lasted about 4 minutes!

Thanksgiving

Worst picture taker EVER! Yep, I just enjoyed the holiday and forgot to take any pictures. We had a nice laid back holiday with Grandpa Ross & Grandma Jenna. A nice small turkey breast, some of our favorite side dishes, pecan pie, and chocolate cake. We even had our friends the Latall’s come visit. I’m not sure they will ever come back because Nick talked Jon into helping him build his new trailer. Here are the FEW pictures I took.

Will did lots of sleeping & eating!

Thanksgiving 021

Madeline enjoyed having the grandparents to play with. (Mom liked it too!)

Here is our thanksgiving table.

Thanksgiving 017

Yes, this is the only picture I took of Grandpa Ross & I took none of Grandma Jenna. I will do so much better at Christmas!

Thanksgiving 024

Here is our turkey breast. Isn’t it tiny. Just the right size for a meal and one set of sandwiches.

Happy Thanksgiving!
