December Already?

November flew by like crazy! We had an awesome Thanksgiving. Unfortunately I was terrible at taking pictures even though my whole family was here. The pictures I do have are all of the kids but here are a few from time with the Purcell's and then a video with my family:

 All the Purcell grandkids except baby Jethro

 Sweet cousin Brooklyn trying to help Adelyn up.

Fun dance party

Now for a few pictures this last week:

Love this scene!

 

And I love those chubby legs and bums!

Here is proof that our girls actually smile since they NEVER smile in pictures.

Avery

Both Smiling!

I hope you all enjoy a wonderful Christmas season!

Our Fun Trip

Because I have a very supportive, nice husband, the girls and I got to go visit two of my sisters a few weeks ago. We had such a fun time and the girls had lots of firsts. Their first plane ride, their first trip to the beach, and even their first time having kraft macaroni and cheese. :) We stayed with my sister Becky for the first few days and with Sara and her family for the last few days. It was such a nice break and so appreciated knowing I will probably not be leaving the house very much after this third baby comes :) 

The plane ride:

 A Beautiful Day at the Beach

 

Visiting Aunt Becky's Office

 

Our Time with Waldrons:

Avery LOVED kissing Matthew

 Fun Halloween treats; Sara is such a fun mom.

 

 This was about when the girls lack of sleep and traveling caught up with them. I love Christopher's face.

Unfortunately I didn't get any pictures with just me and either of my sisters which is sad. The trip was so so fun and I am so glad we were able to go. Thanks Becky and Waldrons for an awesome vacation!

Oh and meet the Novice AND Pre-Champ Latin winners from the weekend at BYU Dancesport! My sister Jessie and her partner were awesome.

Lots of News!

News #1 - We're having a boy join our family in February! We're super excited and everything is looking good as far as development. I'm still feeling well and I'm grateful for easy pregnancies.

News #2 - My mom just got married to Craig Evans. They really make each other happy. I will introduce him more later.

News #3 - I started a business and have had lots of fun learning new things. More about it coming later once it's up and running.
