End of November

End of November

We loved getting some extra time with the Helquist's after our Disneyland trip.  They came for the Thanksgiving week.  We had a playdate day with the kids, a girls' night out, and a family night with the Barrett's and Thygerson's too.  For the girls' night Alison came with me to a Mary Kay makeover thing for Matt's sister Megan who started selling Mary Kay.  We had a good time trying the different products and laughing and whispering.  We went out to ice cream and had some good talking time after it was over.  I sure wish they lived closer!

Emilyn's neighborhood friend Jada and Emilyn, having hot chocolate with her school pet, Ollie the Owl.  Emilyn was so excited to have Ollie home for the weekend.  She lucked out and got to bring him home for the long Thankgiving vacation.  She did all different things with him, and asked me to take pictures of everything to send to her teacher and show her class.  Ollie in her shoes, playing legos with Matisyn, going to the movies, playing games, hiding in the Christmas tree, having a tea party with her other owls, and sleeping with her.  It was pretty cute, and she loved every minute with him.

Over the break we went to see The Good Dinosaur movie.  Lucas was pretty excited to take his Rexie dinosaur to see the movie that made him famous!

Kaylee gave the movie 10 snoozes!  We all enjoyed it though!

Kaylee loves the exersaucer.  Although she still loves to be held most, and it is still hard to get much done, she is happiest while in this thing being able to stand up, bang on toys, and look around.  I finally have my hands free occasionally!

Emilyn has loved dance this year.  We carpool with her friends Lillie, Khloe, and Rachel.  She goes to class on Mondays from 3:30-5:00, and is always excited for dance days.  She looked so grown up and cute on this day, so I decided I needed a picture to capture the moment.

Enjoying the holiday lights at Thanksgiving point.  Lucas was freaking out about everything he saw and was so excited about everything.  Listening to him was the best part!  There were even dinosaurs in lights to represent the Dinosaur Museum, which was of course a big hit.  The girls loved it as well.
