November festivities Part 2

Speeding through November!
Silly kids!
We had the privilege of having family at our house for Thanksgiving this year. Wednesday night we enjoyed making to crafts as our center pieces for the tables. The kids loved it!
Grandma Robertson was the best at helping the little kids make their turkeys.
Our guests for Thanksgiving.

Making Turkey cookies with the kids.
Each kid did a really good job.
These were the centerpieces that I had made with the help of Mom, Liz, and Sean.

Vegging in the chair after eating lots of yummy food.
Mom, Brady and Mckinley
Mckinley was sick most the week so she wasn't quite herself.
Uncle Brady and Uncle Sean were the highlights for the kids. The little kids love to play and wrestle with their uncles. I don't know what will happen when these uncles get married, hopefully they will still wrestle with their nieces and nephews. 
Tommy and Mckinley playing together
Proof is in her eyes that she didn't feel very good. The following Monday after Thanksgiving I took her to the doctors and she had her first chest X-ray. She had a mild case of phenomena.

Lots of game playing occurred through out the weekend.
We always enjoy going to Bass Pro Shop and seeing Santa Clause.

Brady and Sean! They crack me up.
What a bunch of silly kids!

Tommy, Jadyn, Ella, Madalyn, and Olivia
Our cute little family!
These little kids love posing for the pictures!

Saturday night these guys headed to the Kings game and had a blast!
Us moms stayed home with the kids and made caramel apples.

Payton and Scarlett wanted nothing to do with the caramel apples. Tommy being sneaky and climbing up the stairs. 
Sunday night we said good-bye to our last 2 guests; Dad and Mom. Scarlett didn't want them to leave so she tried stopping Grandpa by sitting on his foot and holding onto his leg. Thanksgiving was a blast. We love having family at our house.

November in review Part 1

Man oh man I don't even know where to beginning. I can't believe how far behind I am. 
Here is the 1st half of November in review.
Typical scene at my house. Payton holding Mckinley and trying to get her to laugh while Scar joins in from the side.
Payton was so proud of himself that he learned how to leave skid marks on the ground from breaking on his bike.
Usually when we walk Payton to school we have to stop along the way and the kids walk on this ledge. 
Mckinley getting lots of time in her bumbo before christmas so she can be a pro at sitting on her own. 
We found the kids passed out on the ground after our date one night. They are so cute together.
Josh sporting the christmas reindeer antlers.
Mckinley and mommy!
Its not too often that the kids will climb in our bed and all fall back asleep before we get up for the day. I love these three to pieces. They are just too cute!
Payton being a goof. He insisted that I take pictures of him. He is such a poser these days.
We had a family dentist day. Payton did so great had pictures taken and did so great. Scarlett was a little nervous but let them poke around a little and brush.
We just love taking pictures of this silly girl. She isn't the best at sitting just yet!
Mckinley is really loving her dad more and more. She smiles at him really easily now. It's very sweet!
Scarlett falls asleep anywhere! She cracks me up.
Payton is the best big brother. He is so sweet with his sisters. Here he is holding onto Sarletts' leg while watching TV. 
Stockton Thunder Hockey game!!!!
Crazy faces!
We enjoyed the night with our friends the Drinkwater family.
It was a little chilly in their, but the kids didn't mind too much.
We also enjoyed the night with the Toutai family.
Ryan and Payton way into the game. We saw a couple fights but nothing too crazy!
Mckinley was passed out in her bouncy seat and yet she was still about to fall out. I had to capture the moment. I moved her right after no worries. 
More practicing in the bumbo
Payton got ahold of my camera. Little stinker
Payton and Scarlett both love the iPad. They tend to play with it a lot while sitting in their chairs.
