Sweetie Pie

 
 


"Just like my moobie"

 
Ellie LOVES her "moobies" as she calls them.
One of her very favorites is Tangled.
She just loved it.
Well the other night Mamaw and Pawpaw got Ellie a lantern to put up in the sky just like Tangled.
 
 
Ellie was prett impressed that they could do it like the "moobie"
I am sure she will be wanting more pretty soon!


O Christmas Tree

the friday after thanksgiving, we went and picked out our tree.
it was not a hard decision like it usually is.
i saw this man holding one up when we first got there and i said " i want that one if he doesnt get it"
as soon as he laid it down and got another, we picked that one up and that was that.
it is usually never that easy :)
 
ellie liked climbing all over the trees
 
 
annie just sat in her stroller and took it all in

 
ellie seemed excited but a little confused about the whole tree in the house thing but the next morning when she walked into the living room and the lights were on she said "wow!!!"

 
she did love putting the star on the tip top, with a little help from dad!



Shopping

 
This is the new "normal"
But I really kind of like it because it keeps her in one spot and quiet :)

Thanksgiving 1,2 and 3

We had our usual three Thanksgiving celebrations this year and as usual...it was great!
I love having the long stretch with Matt off and home with us..it makes me so happy :)
 
Our first Thanksgiving celebration was the Saturday before Thanksgiving with the Harbison's.
 
Since it was Annie's very first Thanksgiving she just HAD to wear her head dress passed down from her cousin Anna-Claire. Its so funny looking its almost cute :)
I know she will kill me for this picture one day but I just love it!
 
 
Ellie was sporting her very loved turkey dress from last year.

 
this picture just makes me laugh...poor Annie had just had enough

 
And Ellie again...

 
We woke up Thanksgiving morning and made our traditional breakfast of monkey bread.
 

 
Ellie had a great time making it but not so much eating it... oh well.
Maybe next year :)
 
Miss Annie sat in her Bumbo and watched very closely.

 
Ellie was very interested in the turkey and kept wanting to know what we were going to do with it.


 
After breakfast, we went over to Matt's parents to eat Thanksgiving lunch and of course it was wonderful. I tried to get a few pictures of Ellie and Annie in their pumpkin shirts before lunch while they were still clean.




 
Then on Friday after waking up early and getting just about all of our Christmas shopping done :)
We had Thanksgiving with my family.
 
Ellie was SO excited to see Rileigh!

 
And Jenna too!

 
Me and my momma

 
And Granny

 
We had a great time eating and visiting.
I made crock pot dressing and it was different than what Granny usually makes but I thought it turned out pretty good even though I burned the edges.
 
Ellie had a great time dancing to the Disney music and keeping us entertained.

 
And we also threw a birthday celebration in there too!

 
Gobble, Gobble!!

Small Group Fun!

Sunday we had our small group over to Matt's parents for a fun fall get together.
 
We enjoyed a beautiful fall afternoon with friends, family, hayrides, bonfire and lots of yummy food!
 
Here are some pictures to enjoy :)
 
 











Homecoming

Our sweet and beautiful Aunt Em was on homecoming court this past Saturday and we went down to Montgomery to cheer her on!
 
Ellie had never been to a football game and she really had a pretty good time... so that means so did we!
 


 
Congratulations Emily!
You looked beautiful!

Sweet Cheeks

 
I love these sweet little big cheeks oh so very much.
They are just sweet as pie and I could just kiss them all-day-long!!!

Sisters

These two little girls just melt my heart...
 
I love watching them starting to interact...
 
 
Ellie loves to lay beside Annie and hold her hand and I think its the sweetest thing. EVER.
Annie just watches Ellie and her whole face lights up.

 
I hope and pray that they will always love eachother and be there for one another.
I hope that like me and my sisters they grow up being very best friends.


Bow girls

My sweet little Annie wore a hairbow for the first time the other day and I think she was pretty pleased with herself!
 
 
And of course we had to get sister pictures with both girls with their bows :)
