2016 Week 46 - Gobble Gobble

We packed up and drove our happy selves to the Ranch this week for some good ol turkey and family fun. While I didn't get any pictures during Thanksgiving or the day of, I did get some of the aftermath. Avery was put to work organizing and putting away Great Grandma's silver. After she was finished with that, she was rewarded (even though she loved the "chore") by making a gumdrop tree with Nah!! Meanwhile, Bry was being Bry.

Putting the silver away

Nah tried tricking her a time or two by giving her the wrong spoon. Sneaking, tricky Nah

Clutch

So focused

Reward time... Gum Drop Tree with Nah

She thought it would be extra fun if she ate some of the gum drops too.... until she realized they are GROSS

Best time ever

And then there's Bry

"What Mom?? I'm not doing anything wrong!"

We ran out of toothpicks so Avery started filling the old toy pick-up bed with gum drops/

2016 Week 45 - First Snow!!!!!!!!!!!

WOO HOO!!!! We finally had our first snow this week! Avery couldn't even handle how excited she was so we bundled up and went outside to play.

So excited to be outside.

Kid was on the move in the snow.

Damn, he's cute!!!

His gloves were so covered and caked with snow.. his poor snow outfit lead to a great idea for a Christmas present :)

Probably the last time we see her wear the snowsnui! Still looking cute as shit in it!

Probably picking up yellow snow... because being told once is just never enough.

2016 Week 43 - Pumpkin Carving

Like the title says, this was Pumpkin Carving Week!!! We decided this year that we would let Avery draw on her pumpkin and we would do the carving. She was so excited to draw and did a great job drawing a face. She wasn't, however, that excited to scoop out the insides of the pumpkin.. so... Mom had to do it for all three pumpkins. I think they all turned out pretty great:)

Avery's pumpkin

Looking good

Such focus

She was so serious about drawing this face

Bubba was watching from a distance.

Cutie patootie

Still rocking his awesome forehead injury :)

Final product. After drawing the face, she clearly had to color the eyes and mouth in.

Dad's turn

A cat -- naturally

Final three pumpkins

I need more precise knives next year but they all turned out ok.

All lit up!

Forgot to take a picture of her with the pumpkin before it got dark... but the lights make it fun..

And Orange! So proud of her pumpkin!

2016 Week 42 - Big Boy Bry

We were off to shoot some pictures of the Morleys one day and afterwards, I decided to shoot a few pictures of Bry as some more One Year pictures. OF COURSE, the kid fell and banged up his forehead a day or two before these pictures, but, such is life! This is where he is right now in his tiny life.. he's constantly walking around like a little drunk man, falling into everything and getting "hugs" from his sister non-stop!! This big fall just happened to be right into our chair, in which he injured his forehead on an INLAYED (I think this is a word) screw. Only a one year old could figure out how to do that :)
