Thanksgiving 2013

Thanksgiving was in Wyoming this year.  Ben ended up being super sick and so it was just me and the girls going up to my family's house.  We had lots of fun visiting and playing!

Kiera is so proud of her hand print turkey she made in Nursery!

The girl cousins coloring some Thanksgiving fun!  

I wanted to get some pics outside of all the kids...this is what we ended up with.  Love these crazy girls--each one has their own unique personality for sure!

Jade and Maddi

Kiera and Marly

No Thanksgiving meal is complete without putting olives on all of your fingers.  I happily taught all the kids how it was done!

The lone boy cousin (so far!), Mr. Jax Man!

Decorating turkey cupcakes with Grandma...

And the aftermath of eating the cupcakes...

Mr. Turkey Bum hoping someone will drop him some cupcake crumbs...

Cole's dessert plate....whoa!

Brothers must think alike...when did Cole outgrow Mitch...boy time sure does fly!

Manda made the cutest matching PJ pants for the girls...they loved them and my girls will not take them off.  Kiera says they are her comfy pants and puts them on every chance she gets.  She definitely takes after me!

One more of this cute guy!

Time Out for Women 2013

My Mom and I were able to get away for a Girls Day and go to Time out for Women with some friends. It was nice to get away, listen to inspiring messages and relax!  Way overdue!

Here we are trying to win a facebook contest by posting a pic of us reaching "higher."  (That was the theme of the conference.)

Eating our yummy lunch in the freezing cold...

Love my Mama!

Way too much fun and too much kid free time will do this to a girl!

Playing the Leaves

We like to wait until all the leaves fall from our giant maple tree in the front yard, rake them into one big pile and then have way too much fun!

Of course we have to play in the leaves with our purse and all our accessories! Silly!

Can you find Kiera?

When all was said and we were done playing...it was time to throw the leaves away.  Daddy let the girls be in charge of stomping the leaves down in the trash!  They loved that way too much!
