Happy Thanksgiving!

 Well, I managed to take about 5 pictures on Thanksgiving . . . not on top of things like I used to be :) Lou and Bea pictured above in their pretty outfits.  

We had Grandma Mary and Aunt Anne to our house for a Thanksgiving lunch this year before we headed down to Austin at nap time to spend the night with my mom.

 We stopped at Great Grandma Marcie's on our way into town and she pulled out a basket of toys for the kids to play with.

 Love this beautiful photo of Beatrice

And the annual cousin pic:

Charlie (2), Emry (2), Beatrice (3 mo), Brynn (6 1/2), Nolan (5), Louise (3 mo), Aubrey (4), Henry (4), and Cara (4)

Oops!!!

Being the mom of four young kids, I'm very easily distracted!  I turned the jets on for Henry and left the bathroom for a good long while.  Bubbles were everywhere and Henry was quite giggly when I finally returned :)

Visit with Santa

 We did our annual visit with Santa before Thanksgiving this year.  I'm was thrilled that everyone (and when I say everyone, I mean the girls!) did extremely well with our little outing :)

November with the girls

 I really wish I was more on top of this blog since the girls were born as I really don't remember much!  All I know is they still weren't sleeping much- so neither was I!!  But they continued to melt my heart with their sweet smiles and snuggles!

Baby Bea

Non-napper

Little Stinker is still not napping.  At this particular point in time, I had him read books on the couch for a rest time . . . that didn't last too many days before he figured out mom is too busy with the babies to notice him sneaking off to the playroom . . .

Blueberries of the frozen variety

 Charlie LOVES fruit- especially berries.  Now that they're out of season, we rely on frozen ones.  These frozen ones can make quite the mess.  But who can deny their child such a healthy breakfast?!

And here's big brother, because little brother got his picture taken :)

Good helper!

Taking care of two babies is no joke . . . sometimes you have to enlist the help of a certain four-year-old to make it through the day :)
