It has been awhile since I posted so here are just a few fun pictures from the past month. In late November, we had one day of bad wind and all the leaves fell off the trees. It was sad to see the bare trees but the advantage was a big pile of leaves that Paige loved and Baylor hated :) and a cute fall photo shoot.
This past summer, Paige completed the summer reading program through the library and her name was put in for a drawing for a stack of free books. She got lucky and won! One of the books to choose from was an America's Test Kitchen Baking for Kids Cookbook and she absolutely loves it and has found a love for cooking. She loves to do it by herself and she has cooked up some delicious treats. She is a messy cook and takes over the entire kitchen but it is fun to see her create. She made these delicious chocolate crinkle cookies for FHE treat one night and had to present them all fancy.
Then there is this silly girl and just a few of the many silly faces that she makes.
Paige loves to go thrift shopping with Nate. They both love coming home with treasures and one day they went up to Seattle and had a little lunch date while they were out.
Bedtime is a hard time for me. It gets long and both girls are notorious for taking forever to get ready for bed and also I don't know how many times I hear "Mom" after I have put them to bed and left their room. I go back in at least 2 times each night either for another comment/question from Paige or for Baylor it is for a drink of water, she needs to say goodnight to someone again, or her blankets are messed up. It can get tiring especially at the end of the day when I am also tired. But I do love this special moments of reading them a night time story, family prayer, and singing them songs while rubbing their backs or rocking Baylor. They can sure tire me out but they bring me so much purpose and so much joy.
Thanksgiving was very quiet this year with just our family and Dale and Margaret. It was a quiet day but very enjoyable and we enjoyed a very delicious Thanksgiving dinner.
Margaret made a pumpkin pie, I made the blackberry pie, and Paige made yet another delicious recipe from her cookbook and made a cookies and cream pie.
Throughout the month of November we had a gratitude tree hung up on the front door. It sure got filled up and we are so grateful for all of our blessings. We have so much to be grateful for and on the top of that list is definitely family.
