Happy birthday Awmaw

Last mom day night we celebrated Awmaw's  birthday!

The girls were so excited about her party all day long! 

Annie kept saying...." We do Awmaws party..... Dat be fun!" 

Awmaw is so special to Ellie and Annie and we are so blessed to have you as OUR Awmaw!

Happy birthday Awmaw!

Ellie the patient

Ellie has been complaining of a headache and a earache.

It worried me about her having a head ache so we went to the doctor and they treated her for a sinus infection.  It has been forever since she has been to the doctor for a sick visit and she just loved being the patient and loved the idea she had to get antibiotics. 

She has reminded me EVERY morning and EVERY night that she needs to take her medicine. Annie is heart broken that she doesn't have any to take so I always give her some fiber gummies when Ellie takes her antibiotics so she won't be so sad.

Oh the faces she can make :)

Thanksgiving #4...Carpenter Thanksgiving

Saturday after thanksgiving is when we do thanksgiving with my moms side of the family. It's always a fun time because there are lots of cousins to play with and we usually hang out there for a long time and watch football too. This year Matt made the turkeys, I made crockpot dressing and carrot cake. The carrot cake was a Trisha Yearwood recipe I found on Pinterest. I was really kind on worried about it because I made it on Thursday and it basically fell apart when I took it out of the pans. I put it back together in plastic wrap and kept in in the fridge until Saturday and then iced it really thick. It actually turned out great! I am wanting another one just thinking about it now.

It was a packed crowd!

Annie grabbed hold of grandaddys hand and walked him over to show him the big tree at moms how.

Black Friday

So Matt and I are Black Friday shopper. We really enjoy it. We don't take it super serious. We wake up about 5 and go til about lunch. We usually have the girls with us so that just adds to the fun but this year the spent the night with Awmaw so we were free to shop alone :)

It was fun!!!

We really had a good time and thanks Awmaw!!

After shopping we went to the old house to get the girls. Matt always tells Ellie about the old house and stories about growing up there. There are about to try and sell it so Matt was wanting Ellie and Annie to see it before they sold it.

I got a picture for the to remember it by.

I know Matt had lots of sweet memories here.

Next we were onto to find a tree!

Lowes was our place! There were some little ones out front that were so cute and little and were just had to take some pictures with...

And Ellie had to pose with the little trees too...

Annie insisted that Ellie pushed her.

Matt found the perfect tree. How did I get so lucky :)

Sweet girls and daddy by the family tree

This makes me happy...

Ellie really enjoyed decorating the tree. She has pretty much liked it every year. Annie was not into it much at all. She just wanted to go into her room and play babies :) that girl...

Ellie helped me finish up the whole tree. This was the first time since Ellie was born that I have put ALL and I mean ALL including the very breakable ornaments on the tree. It looks so pretty and full. 

Annie was however a big fan of helping with the icing. She loves cooking and we did plenty of that this weekend :)

Thanksgiving #3 and real thanksgiving day

We were home on thanksgiving day and it was so nice to be here.

Our week had been busy and filled with lots of things so it was nice to be home.

We were busyncooking in the kitchen with our little kitchen helpers...

And my sugar eater

I told Matt if I ever had trouble keeping Annie quite I should just hand her the thing of brown sugar. It works every time :)

She looks full and very happy right!?!

We made our usual thanksgiving morning breakfast ...monkey bread. But this time I did it a new way it it turned out delicious and much easier to make! I hope next year I will remember it!

We were making our carrot cake and rooting for team jones!

Sweet baby at nap time

Matt cooked the turkey to bring down to my sisters. Isn't is pretty!?

Ellie said it looked like it was waiving to her :) that girl has an imagination.

Me and my sidekick

The girls had a laughfest at aunt Melissa's. They thought Andrew was pretty hilarious.

After Melissa's, we went to Awmaws and Papaws house. We ate supper. Played with Maggie, saw her Christmas tree and miss Ellie and Annie spent the night!

Happy thanksgiving!

Annie's thanksgiving feast/ snack

The Tuesday before thanksgiving Annie's class had their thanksgiving feast but it was a snack instead. Since they are so youmg and don't do well with re things and change :) they just do a snack so they can experience the thanksgiving thing without messing up their real lunch. 

Here she is all dressed up in her pumpkin dress. 

Ellie wore her pumpkin shirt and had to pose with her pumpkin and flower :)

Sweet sister make my heart smile :)

I didn't get her picture but she came home with Indian feather like her sister and she was so proud to have her own just like Ellies :)
