Yummy

Look What I Did!

I held still while my mom traced my hand for a turkey picture.

I colored my hand turkey all by myself.

I pulled myself up.

I made Christmas ornaments.

Chris put together this tree table/stand.

We love the way it turned out:)

Before...

after!!

(Ginny did this, btw)

Also this...

and this.

Gobble, Gobble, Gobble

We had a wonderful Thanksgiving in Utah. It was an entire week of fun, stuffing our faces, lots of shopping, poor sleep, and tons of babysitters to entertain our kids. We loved being around family and wished we all lived closer.

I was too busy or maybe a little lazy to whip out the camera, so I had to borrow these pictures (Thanks Katie!).

I'm still recovering from eating so much chocolate...

and pie. It was so yummy!

Our kids were the life of the party. We loved watching everyone interact with Lila and Calvin.

I only wish I had pictures of everyone.

I didn't know if Lila could handle us taking her away from her aunt Katie. They were inseparable!

Oh and I got to see my friend Kzimbo and meet her hubby for the first time. It was really great seeing her too!

Here's a pic of Chris' parents, also known as Nana and Papa to the kids.

They are constantly serving and work so hard to provide a great time when we come to visit. All I can say is, mission accomplished.

Last but not least, another effort at a family picture.

We are getting better but it's gonna be quite the effort to get everyone to look at the camera and smile at the same time.

Third times a charm, right?

I'm hoping:)

Happy Thanksgiving!

See The Resemblance?

Like father...

like son.

Love them both:)

Today

Today was great!

We had fun, I was patient, and we all took amazing naps:)

I look forward to many more days like today.

Lila loved licking the beater after making homemade ice cream!

Calvin enjoyed rolling around on the ground and under the tent:)

I've been trying to be better about starting my day off with prayer and scripture study. I notice a huge difference between the days I try to do it all on my own and the days I ask for my Heavenly Father's guidance. Today was great because of Him.

I know He loves me and I'm grateful for that.

Can't wait 'til tomorrow:)

There's Always One...

who won't look at the camera.

Maybe next time:)

I Love South Carolina

It's so BEAUTIFUL here!

That's all.
