Thanksgiving and a catch up post

I am so far behind! I actually started this post on Saturday and I'm just now getting around to finishing it!

So, for Thanksgiving we ended up going to Seattle to visit my husband's family. I was so glad because originally we had planned to just stay home. I was very disappointed that we wouldn't be spending our Thanksgiving with any family. We left on Wednesday afternoon and got to my husband's parent's house about 8:00, I think. We actually met them for supper because they were on their way home from Aberdeen and were only a few miles ahead of us!

For Thanksgiving dinner we went to my husband's sister Leah's house. It was so nice to see everyone. I wish I had taken more pictures, though. I don't know why I have such a hard time taking pictures. I just never feel like taking my camera out until I see that someone else is taking pictures, too. So, then I think, "Oh, maybe I should take some pictures, too!". So, here's a picture of all the kids at their own little table. They had lots of fun eating together. They also had to be goofy for the camera!


Here's Little Miss Priss all ready for some turkey. She seemed to like everything.

And here's the newest addition to the family, Connor. (He had to wait for his turkey!) It was so nice to get to hold him. It made me excited to hold my own little one.

Here's Little Miss Priss enjoying an afternoon snack.

Here's Little Miss Priss and Mischievo having lots of fun at Grandma's.

I actually ventured out shopping on Black Friday, too. It was fun and I got a lot of good deals. I had seen a scrapbooking tote advertised at Michael's for 50% off plus a coupon for 25% off, but you had to get it before 9:00 a.m. So, I made it there just before 9:00 and got the last one! I was so happy, I've really been wanting a tote to organize my scrapbooking stuff in. It was originally $80 and I ended up paying $30!!! We went back out shopping that afternoon and I found the cutest matching outfits for the kids at Children's Place on the clearance rack. I was so excited because I've been wanting to get them matching outfits but its hard to find boy and girl matching clothes unless you want to pay tons of money for them. So, it was a shirt for Mischievo and a skirt for Little Miss Priss. I think I'll get their pictures taken in them, if I ever get around to it! I'm so bad about getting things like that done. I also got a few cute maternity shirts, too. So, all-in-all it was a pretty good day. We went back home on Saturday because my husband had work he wanted to get done since he's so busy right now.

Here's some picture's that I've been meaning to post for a week now! We got some snow last Monday morning.



Even, though it wasn't much snow it still made everything look so pretty. It was all melted by lunch time. My husband took Mischievo out there on his sled before breakfast which was a good thing since it was starting to melt by the time we finished breakfast. Mischievo has been so excited for it to snow. Hopefully this is a good sign that we'll be getting more before winter is over. I bought him a snow suit last winter that he never got to wear! So, hopefully he'll get some wear out of it this winter. It's a little short on him but his boots come up high enough to keep him warm. Little Miss Priss is all set with a hand-me-down snowsuit from her cousins but her feet are so small that I can't find any snow boots to fit her! She still wears a size 2. Anybody have any ideas of where I can find boots that small? Children's Place said they had them as small as 3's but I couldn't find any and besides I don't think I want to spend that much on them. She probably won't really need any, since she'll hardly know what she's missing. I doubt I'll be playing in the snow that much either.

Thanks for all the comments on the last post, especially from those that haven't left any before. I really appreciate it. :)
