Happy half birthday Violet!!!








Yay for avocado and squash! Boo for avocado and squash diapers.

A few extras from this weekend

 Ready to go!

But first, Stephie's Thanksgiving program at school.

 The horn of plenty...

 ...and songs.  Stephie not pictured.

 But she did draw this boat.

 Mommy got a knife.

 And this awesome portrait by Stephie.  Best gift ever!!!

Grandma Lois and the girls

Happy Thanksgiving!!!

We are all thankful for some sleep.  Oh wait, just kidding.

Turkey trotters!  Thanks to Mimi and Poppie for the awesome turkey hats.

 Stephie and Haley learned to play poker.

 We released beautiful lanterns into the night sky.  We are all thankful that Mimi and Poppie's house didn't burn down.

Haley's Thanksgiving show

Today was the real deal: 'Twas the Night Before Thanksgiving presented by JK.  Haley again was a student.

 There was singing...

 ...and laughing.  But where was Haley's turkey Gia?  Sick, apparently.

 "A-toodee-ta" song.

 "Arms back, feet apart, knees together, tongue out, eyes shut."  Goofballs.

 A brief time for reading afterward.

 In other news, somebody loves the Jumperoo!

High chair practice

No food yet!  But getting used to the high chair with lots of toys.

 Speaking of lots of toys, Haley has a renewed interest in baby gear.

 Time for some big girl things: piano practice, please.
