Photos


We drove up to Camille's after church for her to take some photos for our Christmas card. I only ended up doing the girls, Brandon was at church until almost 8 with tithing settlement. We might try a family one next week. Thanks Camille, there are some really cute ones!! Notice Tabitha's shoes? She insisted on wearing them instead of her sparkly shoes, which I was OK with. She wears them all the time and loves them, thanks Diana!!

Decorating the Tree







Saturday afternoon we went to Park City and saw the Muppets, which was cute. We then did a little shopping at the outlets and dinner at Cafe Rio. We came home and the girls helped Brandon string the lights and decorated the tree. Gabrielle did most of the decorating, she was so into it this year which was really cute. I thought I could move stuff around after she went to bed but I have left everything as she did it. It was a fun night and sure fun to start the Christmas season. Gabrielle said something funny when she was done, "do you think Santa will like the tree?" I said we will see but then she said "he's watching now". She is really into the naughty and nice list this year, so hopefully we will have two well behaved kids this month, here's hoping!!

Thanksgiving


I only managed to get photos the girls having fun with a new puppet stand and puppets at my Mom's house on Thanksgiving. We had a fun day being together and are sure grateful for families this time of year, near and far.

Slippers


I told Brandon a few weeks ago that he and the girls could get me a new pair of slippers for Christmas that I could easily slip on and off. I then realized he has 3 pair in his closet so I took over one of them and now I can ask for something else for Christmas.

Snowballs


I worked saturday morning and when Tabitha called to talk to me she said, "daddy put a snowball in my pants!" They had fun eating and playing with snowballs that Brandon brought inside for them.

Sanitizer


It is cold season and even though we have already been sick several times in the last month I would like to prevent future sickness as much as I can. I try to make sure Gabrielle washes her hands or puts sanitizer on every day she comes home from school. She loves these Halloween themed ones that Emily gave us, I should look around for Christmas ones.

Plie







Discussing plie's during breakfast, Gabrielle's teacher has them form a triangle and Tabitha's teacher says to do a pizza slice. They were cute showing me what it was and how they do it in class. They sure do love ballet and are looking forward to their christmas performance in Dec.

Headband




Diana has made several headbands for the girls and I thought it would be fun to have a Utah one. She quickly put one together while she was here a few weeks ago. Gabrielle was excited to wear hers on monday with her Utah shirt, her teacher is a utah fan!

Saturday



I helped with our ward super saturday in the morning and then we went to the movies that afternoon. Puss in Boots in 3D. It is always so cute to hear the girls laugh out loud at the movies. Tabitha loved everything she saw that was the Muppets, we plan on seeing that movie over Thanksgiving.

11-11-11


Veterans Day. I took Gabrielle to a special assembly at her school in the morning and then Brandon had the day off from work and was able to volunteer in her classroom that afternoon. Thank you so much for all those men and women who have served and are serving our country!

Black

She wanted to add this to her ponytail for the photo, her Rapunzel braid from her 5th birthday party.


Each week Gabrielle's Kindergarten class learns a color, among other things. They learn the sign language, which she loves, a song and then wear the color on Thursdays. This week was black. She wanted her hair in a ponytail, they are plain she says but can be made fancy with a barrette or bow.

Baby Shower







We are all so excited that Kathryn and Cole are having a baby girl!! She is not due until Feb. but we had a shower Saturday to avoid the winter weather and holidays, but woke up to a snow storm. Tabitha wanted her present opened first and then we she was off playing, but Gabrielle sat by Kathryn the whole time and "helped" open them! Thanks Diana and Emily for helping with all the yummy desserts.

Tired


We have been pretty busy with Brandon's Mom here, the girls each got the flu and then Tabitha got a cough that Friday afternoon while we were finishing off sewing projects and making treats for a baby shower Tabitha fell asleep on the couch. A very rare occurance for her!!

Clappers





Tabitha was running around Thursday morning making music with her "clappers" aka styrofoam from our new iron. She was really loud but was sure cute dancing around. She did say that she only uses her clappers in the morning.

Trick-or-Treat

Emily surprised the girls at the front door all dressed up as a wise owl.


















The girls had a great time trick or treating. Tabitha wanted to run from door to door and was so excited with each piece of candy she got. She would show us and ask if it was our favorite. We went early so it was light most of the time and a pretty pleasant temperature. It was a very fun evening.
