Gingerbread House

Thanksgiving 2012

This year Grandma Bateman finally decided that she couldn't prepare Thanksgiving this year. So Jason's mom did it at her house. It was a little weird not doing at Grandma's house, but she still made her FaBuLoUs Stuffing! This Is Aaron's newest Nora Lynn. She's 3 months old and such a doll!

 K loved playing with her cousin!

 S is growing up so fast! She turned 5 last month. Where did my little girl go? She's way too mature already!

 I love how K is gritting her teeth!

 Playing with their cousin Jacelyn...

 K gave Nora a sip of bottle. A drop of milk got on Nora's face. K ran for a rag, without being told, and cleaned her up. It was so cute!

 Finally asleep!!!!!!

 Ahhhh...kisses! After K did this, Nora's big 4 year old sis got mad that she kissed Nora on the lips. I told her that K doesn't have cooties. She just looked at me dumbfounded and walked away. It was so cute!

 Jason finally picked Nora up! He only likes to hold his own kids...

Uncle Craig mashing the potatoes...

Carving Pumpkins!

 S has a icky look on her face, but she was a huge help this year. She actually earnestly tried to clean her pumpkin out. First time ever. She turned 5 last Tuesday and has grown up so much lately. It's crazy!

 My sweet girl...She just wants to be big!

 K thought she was so big. I had a hard time taking knives away from her.

Library Halloween Party

 We went to the library Halloween/library's 1st birthday party tonight. K hates her dinosaur costume, especially the tail!

 S loved her cheerleader costume. She even got to wear a little makeup. We got to listen to a great storyteller...Indiana Bones!

 YEP!!!! K's costume didn't last long. I don't know what I'm going to do for Halloween next week!

 Playing games...and the prize was an annoying whistle!!! YEAH!!!!

Now K insisted on a picture!

Big Girl Bed

I wanted to wait till K was two before I started to move her to the bottom bunk, but I gave up on the battle of crib climbing. She did great last night!

Booster seat

Today I noticed at dinner that K knows how to open her straps on her booster seat. I hope she doesn't figure out her car seat too soon. About a week ago she learned how to put on her sandals all by herself. It's so great. She may put them on the wrong feet sometimes, but oh well.

Happy St. Patrick's Day!

We made these in preschool this week! K preferred a pencil.
