Thanksgiving!
Happy Thanksgiving! It certainly was for me–I got to take it easy, since we were invited to spend Thanksgiving at Steve and Sue’s house this year. Don’t get me wrong, I really do enjoy making the whole spread, but I’m the first to admit it was a lot easier when the kids were smaller (or not here yet!) Instead of getting up early to start the turkey, I played with the kids. They did some dress-up with their playsilks, and I surprised them with their new Christmas...
Read MoreLunch with Kendall, plus Thanksgiving Crafts
Kendall’s class invited family members to come in for lunchtime today, and since Brian had the day off from school, I thought it would be fun to bring him along.

Kendall’s 2-year-old portraits are here! She’s wearing a stunning red holiday dress from Chasing Fireflies (really, this dress is amazing in person!

Read MorePicture Day
Just a couple extra shots from Kendall’s picture day today.. We stopped by the toy store “just to look” since our shopping for the kids has been done for awhile now–but of course.. We didn’t walk out empty-handed. 😉 Kendall fell in love with this bumblebee purse (not surprising, since “bumblebee!” has been one of her favorite words for awhile now!) She was so proud of herself and would not put it down–Brandon had to hold Kendall up over the...
