Thanksgiving Weekend fun!

Lots of Thanksgiving fun with thanksgiving dinner, Henry's Harry Potter Birthday party with lots of games and a pinata!, and then fun at Grandma and Grandpa's Chattanooga empty house!
We were glad to see Uncle Greg, Aunt Rashel, Ainsley, Reese, Rory and Jonah too! :)

Fun in the Leaves!

Playing in the leaves, finally! Levi was looking forward to enough leaves falling so he could rake them up and jump in them! He did running leaps, Clara Kate did big runs to a little fall and Ollie just walked up and sat down!

Finishing November

Clara Kate enjoying her gluten free muffins. It seems we make them almost every other day these days because she and Ollie and even Levi love them SO much!

I took this picure becuase I thought it was so cute that Levi was vaccuuming up Ollie mess before school in the morning, in his uniform no less! He just sees these things and does something about them. Why can't I be this way? Our house would be much cleaner if I was like Levi! :)

The finishing what we started with Christmas decorating! The kids just love, love, love putting up the tree. There were lots of little bells along the bottom thanks to Clara Kate! :)

Was this really just over a week ago??

So we used to call Ollie, "The Shuff" or say, "here comes Shuff" because he would crawl so funny dragging one leg. It seems like he has been doing it forever and his pants all say he has been doing it long enough due to the holes in the one leg that was dragged! So I thought a video of what it used to be like was in order. It seems like he has been walking quite a while aleady even though it hasn't even been two weeks and he is getting faster and more stable all the time! But here is to remembering "the shuff!" :)

Christmas already, for real?!

SO the kiddos have REALLY been wanting to get started decorating the house for Christmas. They don't care that we haven't even had Thanksgiving yet, they are ready now! So finally, today I said go ahead and go out to the garage and see what you can find and you can stack it up and we'll do some over the weekend. (I said this thinking that the bins were probably too heavy and high anyways for them to find much, so they'd just stop asking till Daddy was home and ready to help, but oh no, they brought them ALL inside one at a time!) So we are ready to decorate. I gave in and set up the lighted houses and they LOVE them! :)

And FINALLY, Ollie walks!

So we've known he could do it and he has been taking quite a few steps for a while now, but still prefering to crawl. And now....

he walks! He just woke up yesturday morning and decided he was going to try to walk everywhere! It's a whole new world for him! :)

Some random pictures...

Here are some random pictures from October that I dind't get a chance to post. Just thought I'd share them! :)
