Meyers and Elizabeth - November 2010
Jessica and I dressed the girls alike in a Christmas outfit and took them to see Santa together. Are we bad moms that we sat there and took pictures while they screamed?? Bless Santa's heart. He was so sweet about these wild, screaming girls!

We busted out the Christmas outfits today even though it is the end of November! I love Christmas outfits, and it's even more fun matching the girls!

Sweet Time with Sweet Friends


 We were so excited to visit with the Kellys while they were in town for Thanksgiving! They drove straight to our house on Wednesday, and we had dinner and the girls played and played! I can not tell you how much it warms my heart to see my best friend of 20+ years kids playing with mine - especially since they don't see each other very often. It's always crazy getting together with our kids, but it's a good crazy:)

dinner on Wednesday



We ventured out to eat lunch on Friday at my FAVORITE mexican restaurant. The hostess was smart to seat us in our own room! These girls are a mess:)

Jessica and I LOVE to dress our girls alike. We've done it since Meyers and Elizabeth were little, and now Caroline and Emery get in on it. It's probably silly to other people, but we think it's fun, AND we happen to like the same clothes, so it works! You can't really tell that the big girls match, but they do! We made sure to put them in the same clothes for lunch so we could grab a few pictures:)

All those pink bows make be happy:)

had to include this picture of Meyers cracking up at something!

SO sweet holding hands!!

Thanksgiving 2012



All major holidays are super busy in our family. I am VERY thankful that both of our families live within 10 minutes of each other, but that means that each holiday is an all day event! I know people have to do it, but I couldn't imagine switching off holidays and not seeing one of our families on whatever day. Typically we eat lunch with John's family and dinner with mine and that's what we did again this year. You forget how crazy that is with a baby. Meyers has been off a morning nap for a couple of years now and can push through an afternoon one, but Emery needs her naps and she likes to nap in HER bed. They were both exhausted (and us too!) by that evening, but they had so much fun with their cousins. And we all had a wonderful Thanksgiving with our families!



so glad I finally got a shot of Emery's crinkly nose thing she does - I love it!

Thankful

So.........I'm not on facebook, but apparently all these people on facebook were doing 30 days of thankfulness, so a bunch of blogs I read did it too. I thought it was neat, but I know I could never keep up with blogging everyday, so here is what I am thankful for this Thanksgiving (in no particular order). I blog to have a "scrapbook" for my girls,  so one day I want them to know what I'm thankful for in 2012.
 
1. Jesus and His mercy and grace that I don't deserve
2. John
3. My girls
4. Our families 
5. My friends - old ones and new ones
6. Afternoon naps/rest time at the SAME time for the girls
7. My house
8. My cozy bed
9. A warm house in the winter and a cool house in the summer
10. Not having to worry ab where my next meal will come from
11. Being able to wake up, breathe air, and move every day
12. Being able to exercise - even on the days I don't want to. I'm thankful my body lets me:)
13. Healthy family
14. My new boots 
15. My church
16. Little things that make me happy like new nail polish and eye make up
17. John's job
18. My car - even though it's a mess and looks like we live in it 90% of the time.
19. Guacamole at my favorite Mexican restaurant
20. My phone
21. A teeny, tiny part time (twice a year) job that allows me to pay for my girls' clothes and preschool
22. Date nights
23. Girls' nights - especially pj girls' nights!
24. Being able to be a SAHM - even on the days when I am looking out the window for John's car:)
25. A good nights' sleep most nights when the girls are well 
26. Self tanner - yes, I'm somewhat vain and I like having a little bit of color without being exposed to too much sun. 
27. Medicine so my girls breathing doesn't get out of control and scary when they have colds
28. My sewing machine and the "ability" to sew. I've missed it so much while it's been put away while our house is on the market.
29. My girls' smiles and laughter - they warm my heart.
30. My kindle - I can read whenever I want and my girls can watch their shows when I need them to!

Fun Night

Tonight we went to the Rendevous with David and Jennifer. It was a quasi - birthday celebration for John's birthday, but it was really just a great time with friends. We always have fun with them!











Thankful for fun couple friends!!

Car Wash

This was Meyers at the car wash today. I don't think she's been in one since she was a baby.

Bless her heart!




Not a fan!

Together

I think it is SO funny and sweet that Meyers loves to get in the pack-n-play with Emery. I love my sweet sisters to pieces!!

Emery's 8 Month Pictures




After scheduling and rescheduling, we finally had Emery's 8 month (and a few family) pictures taken mid October. I just got them back this past weekend. These are the ones that didn't make the Christmas card - which I have already ordered and they have are on their way to me! That may be the earliest I've ever gotten that done!

Mickey LIVE

Meyers loves Mickey Mouse (and Minnie, Donald, Goofy, etc) - at least in cartoon and toy form. I still think we might be wasting our money if we went to Disney anytime soon because she does not care for anything in costumes. I heard that Mickey LIVE was coming and knew we had to go. Emery loves Mickey, too, but we decided to not take her. I got Meyers a Minnie shirt to wear, and even though Emery wasn't going, I got her a romper with Minnie on it, too. I love for them to match and didn't want Meyers to wear it in the future and Emery not have something to go with it. Yes, if there is a support group for matching your children too much, I may need to join it:)


This picture cracks me up and is so Emery!

sweet sisters before we left
