Turkey Time and the Goose is Getting Fat

We set up the tree Monday night. I think the girls had a good time.

Here is Libbie placing an ornament.

Mia doing more of the same.

I think Mia had some sort of romantic idea about placing the star atop the tree. Uh...not so much. Here is Nathan "helping" Mia get the job done. I thought it was quite humorous.

The day before Thanksgiving, the girls helped me bake pies and rolls. They mostly enjoyed playing with left over dough, which was fine by me. Sometimes their "help" isn't the most helpful. I do love their enthusiasm though.

We headed to Tremonton for our Thanksgiving festivities. We got to spend time with Hannah, Jake, Molly, and Annie, Aunt Cherie and her daughter Dayna, and Great Gma and Gpa Oyler. With all these great people around, the girls sure got spoiled. One of the girls' favorite things about visiting Grandma's is watching a movie in "their bedroom". Here they all are after Grandma has fixed them up nice and cozy for a flick.

I told my mom I am going to start keeping a photo log of all the terrorizing Mallory does while at their house. I do feel bad about it, but this was too funny to pass up a good laugh on. Hannah found Mallory surrounded by an entire box of used Kleenex on Mom's bed. All she could say is, "I blow my nose harder Mom." And she really was blowing her nose on every tissue.

Makes Me Smile

We haven't been up to too much lately - just livin' life I suppose. Libbie just completed her level 4 swimming lessons. It was quite a struggle at first, but she's becoming quite the swimmer. I tell her she's far better at swimming than I am, and it's true. She has an awesome back stroke. Here are some random pictures of Mia and Mallory.

Not sure what Mallory is doing here, but we'll just says she's telling us she's two.

Mallory loves to wear Libbie's Build-a-Bear clothes despite Libbie's pleas to not.

Candy, Candy, Candy

Here are all our cow girls leaving to trick-or-treat. They made quite the candy haul. At 7:30 this morning, when I asked them what they wanted for breakfast, they responded, "candy!". Yikes.

Here's our little mad cow.

Here is Nathan helping Mia carve her pumpkin. She made it very clear she had an idea of how her pumpkin was supposed to look, and we were not meeting those expectations.

The girls showing their finished pumpkins with wet hair and pjs.

We've been having some great weather lately. Here are the

girls playing hopscotch in the driveway.
