Tis the Season

This is my favorite time of year!! All the Christmas parties, programs, friends, family, and food :) Elizabeth helped me make Christmas cookies for her class this year...it was so much fun. Here are a few pictures from all the fun things we get to do!!

This was Elizabeth's school Christmas program...she is on the far left side in black, watching the screen!

A little closer...the video is sooo cute...I will try posting that soon.

Lots of sisterly love!!

Daddy and Elizabeth made rice krispie houses instead of gingerbread houses. She had way too much fun decorating:)

Probably because she was eating it while Daddy decorated!!

It was a whole family affair.

Just a few random pictures...too cute not to post!

Daddy and Carley watching the Nightly News!!

Children's Christmas Party

We went to our squadrons children's Christmas party, and had so much fun. There were tons of crafts for the kids, and of course Santa! Elizabeth wanted to call Santa on the way to let him know we were coming :)

Christmas Card pictures...

Well, I didn't get out Christmas cards this year (just a little letter) because I couldn't pick just one picture from this year! So, here are a few pictures of the girls in an attempt to do the cards :) Love them!

Just had to put this one in here :)

Thanksgiving

Our Thanksgiving was very quiet and relaxing! Nathan had been on a trip and came home the day before Thanksgiving, so we decided to just relax and spend some time at home as a family...it was great!!

A visitor from the North Pole, "Max" came to visit to keep an eye on Elizabeth for Santa until Christmas!! She looks for him every morning!

Beautiful arrangement for Thanksgiving from the Bakers, and I didn't get to take a picture of the wonderful Tootie Pecan Pie from my parents before Nathan dug in...his favorite!!!!

Thanksgiving party at school...

...lots of fun!!

Aunt Keri visits...

My sister, Keri came to visit before Thanksgiving and to see the girls! We had such a great time and so happy to have another visitor :)

As time goes by...

Time has been flying right by, and the girls are just growing so much!!! Carley will be 8 weeks on Wednesday, and I do not know how the last few weeks went by! Here are a few pictures of the girls!!

Elizabeth is such a wonderful big sister!! She is SO loving and gentle with Carley!

Um, look how big Elizabeth is getting...she looks so much older :( So pretty!

Elizabeth has been playing the Hi Ho Cherri O game with Uncle Caleb while he is visiting!

It's been a while...

It has been a while since I have updated the blog with pictures, so here are a bunch of pictures from the last 6 weeks...I am playing a little catch up!

Here are the pictures from Halloween! Elizabeth LOVED to help pass out the candy...she would stand at the door or window until she saw someone coming and would meet them at the door :)

She got into the candy before we even got home!

Trick-or-treating!

She definitely got the hang of it and didn't even need our help :)

Some of her neighborhood friends

Ready to goooooo

Beautiful Belle!!!

Carley had a little tiger nightgown, but it was 80 degrees that day and a little too hot for flannel!

Elizabeth, Carley and I went to Boone Hall in Mount Pleasant to pick a pumpkin at their Pumpkin Patch. It was extremely hot that day as you can see on our red faces!!!!
