I figured I couldn't very well get by without updating the blog with some pictures from Thanksgiving. We had such a nice time with family. Jeremy, Corey & Kelsey as well as our family all spent Wednesday night at Dad & Mom's house. We stayed up late playing games & Mom made us her biscuit cinnamon rolls for breakfast. The day after Will had to work, yuck! So, I did the billing for the mini storage I work at & ended up staying up until 6 a.m painting Lilyanah's bedroom. Good times. I haven't painted like that in a
LONG time. Will installed blinds in the living room & did a great job on the molding. I'm the painter, he's the 'installer'. It feels good to get stuff done on the house! Of course I don't have any pictures of our updates. Just pictures from
Thanksgiving. Lilyanah was tired by the time we tried to take a family picture so there is no smile to be seen on her! She actually didn't smile for many pictures at all! I love the picture of her sitting at the table, she looks like she was actually
playing cards & was getting bored with it! There's a picture of Ethne showing off her skills, she'll be 5 months old in 2 days!!!! I know I always say it but time is flying by way too quickly!
Jeremy was blowing bubbles with his gum & had both of the girls mesmerized! We hope you all had a great Thanksgiving with your families & are enjoying the season! We went out yesterday & got our first fake tree.I never thought I'd have a fake tree in my house but we are leaving for Texas on the 22nd to spend Christmas with Will's side of the family & I would be so sad if I had to take our tree down before Christmas. So, our solution was to buy an artificial tree. I'm excited to see what Lilyanah thinks of having a tree in the house! What are your favorite things about this season? We love you all! ~Wendy.
Last night Mom, Lilyanah, Ethne & I ventured out to the library to see Santa arrive on a firetruck & watch him light the tree. There were carolers singing, but it was WAY too loud to hear & we could only hear 1/4 of what Santa was saying whenever he would turn the megaphone our way to speak, but it was a good time. Lilyanah didn't say much while we were there. Whenever we're in situations around a lot of people or watching something she's usually very quite & looking around everywhere absorbing everything. When we got in the car she kept saying 'Santa' which was very sweet. . . I'm glad we went, I just wish Will could have come too. He has a terrible commute, I've probably told you that already. But we are lucky if he gets home at 7pm, it's no fun. Whenever the next promotion comes, if it means a move we will definitely find a house that is close to his work so we can see him more often! Lilyanah practically tackles him whenever he gets home & just wants to crawl all over him. And of course Ethne is all smiles & giggles when she gets to see Daddy. It's a very precious thing to see, watching them love on each other. We three girls are INCREDIBLY blessed! I hope God is showering you all with blessings too!! ~Wendy.
