Happy Thanksgiving!!!

So thankful this year…sometimes I look around at my family, and cannot believe that I am the one who gets to take care of them and love them every day.  So very blessed.

Here are some pics of our Thanksgiving activities...

Eloise wearing the hat Henry made at school…and trying to grab the fish out of the tank haha

 

There he is…Chief Soaring Eagle in all his regalia!!! :)

 

 

My attempt at turkey cupcakes…my mom said they looked more like aardvarks haha

 

The night before Thanksgiving the kids were all decked out in their holiday pajamas, so I decided to attempt to take a pictures of the kiddies…let's just say that it wasn't all that successful!!! :)

Girls looking okay...

 

 

Eloise won't get her hands out of her mouth, but not that bad...

 

 

 

 

Then I asked Henry to come in, and he FINALLY agreed...

 

 

Okay, not too bad with Charlotte & Henry...

 

 

Cutie pies

 

 

So then I added Eloise…she wasn't exactly a happy camper, and that's putting it nicely haha.  This series of pictures is just hilarious :)

 

 

Love how she's looking at Henry…can't say I blame her! :)

 

 

 

 

 

 

And if this doesn't scream "Thanksgiving photo", I'm not sure what does! :)

 

 

Once the pressure of the perfect kiddie picture was removed, she was as happy as a clam again! :)  Love how her hand is pulling at her ear…she does that whenever she is tired and wants to go to sleep.

 

 

Posing with Mamie on Thanksgiving morning because they were so color coordinated :)

 

 

Kisses!

 

 

A brief moment where they weren't fighting haha

 

 

Eloise in her Thanksgiving best :)

 

 

Such a sweet heart

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Henry wasn't cooperating (surprise, surprise), but we tried to get a picture of Charlotte & Eloise…not so easy with a squirmy baby haha

 

 

 

And just because it is fun, here is a picture of Charlotte wearing the dress Eloise was wearing…the only difference was that Charlotte wore it on Christmas, and our little chubby baby wore it on Thanksgiving because she is much bigger than her older sister :)

 

 

Attempting a family picture…really not sure why we bother anymore

 

 

Our little butterball turkey!!!! Love her so much :)

 

 

 

 

Hope everyone had a wonderful holiday!

Smart Boy :)

Henry has been rather difficult lately, and that is putting it nicely. One of the things he is doing is repeating every "bad" word he hears, including "stupid".  But recently, he will start to say "stupid", and when he sees me looking at him, he will change it to "stupendous!"...so the word ends up being like "stupidendous" haha. Today I asked him what stupendous meant, and he said "extremely impressive". I kid you not. So funny to hear that come out of his mouth, but much better than his other choice words :)

He has been incredibly difficult with Charlotte, but I love that he doesn't take anything out on Eloise. When it is just the 3 of us (me, Henry & Eloise), he is an absolute delight...if she cries, he goes to her and starts singing...he cuddles her...tries to make her laugh...he really is unbelievably sweet. If only he saved some of that good behavior for his older sister...ugh. Here are some pics from today...

I will be back soon...I have a LOT of catching up to do!!!

Eloise is 7 months old! :)

Our baby girl is 7 months old…not sure how that is possible!  Her first tooth popped through today, poor thing, but she handled it like a champ.  She still has no interest in crawling, and would be perfectly happy to be held 24 hours a day haha.  She is super adorable, super chubby (around 18 lbs), and super excited to be a flower girl in Uncle Ray & Aunt Liz's wedding this weekend!!!!

Here are some pictures from her photo shoot...

My little doll!  Love those fat arms :)

 

 

Of course she needed company!

 

 

 

Eloise looks thrilled haha

 

 

Barely tolerating tummy time

 

 

 

Tummy time is slightly better with company

 

 

 

"Mommy, I HATE this!!!!!".  Mean mommy

 

 

Much better! :)

 

 

Multiple chins haha

 

 

Love bug

 

 

Love our sweet little girl!
