Some November Fun and Cuteness

I know most of these pictures are of Iley, but we're obsessed with her! I still love and adore all the other kids too though!

Wesley's first serious note from a girl, Maddie. A little too intense for him or he might have liked her too.

Iley's first real nap in her crib.

Back to napping in Mom's arms.

 We voted! And let me tell you, it wasn't an easy decision!

 Still sleeping in the MamaRoo every night.  Did I mention it's squeezed in the corner of our bedroom between my dresser and the ironing board? She really is the fifth kid, half spoiled, half squished in.

And SO loved!

The first snow!

 Fourth grade field trip shenanigans.

 Birthday money well spent.

Making gingerbread ornaments with Grandma.

 A quick lunch with a couple of my favorite women!

 Daddy's girls.

 Christmas decorations and Christmas movies with my baby.

 And a Jazz night out for Jack and Brad.

Meeting Santa

Thank heaven for a ward Christmas party or our kids might never have their pictures taken with Santa.

Our Birthdays, Thanksgiving, and Letters to Santa

 Just a quick few words about this amazing man... he truly is the ultimate husband, dad, provider, and protector.  WE ALL adore him and smile when he walks through the door.  Brad always shares his birthday, but this time he got his own cake and special night... even if it included decorated his parents Christmas tree! 

Thanksgiving morning we went to the theater to watch Moana before heading over to Chris and Lory's for a delicious Thanksgiving dinner and birthday cake for me.

After dinner the kids wrote Christmas lists for Santa.  Tessa's list is a mystery though!
