O Christmas Tree

Tonight we for Family Home Evening we put up & decorated our Christmas Tree.

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas...

Gobble! Gobble!

We enjoyed Thanksgiving with some good friends. We missed having family around, but we did make a treat I used to make with my family as a kid. Lexie & Joseph loved helping while Andrew ate lots of the candy.

Happy Thanksgiving. We have so much for which to be grateful!

Jayhawk Twister

The other night we were watching a little bit of a KU game & Joseph laid out this blanket & decided that the kids should play Twister on it. It was quite amusing to watch.

Hair Cuttin' Time

Today Lexie & I had a little Mommy/Daughter date & got Lexie's second haircut ever. She was so excited & has been asking to get one for weeks.

She excitedly told the stylist about Locks of Love & how she wanted her hair to be made into a wig. Lexie cut off 10.5 inches. While we were there, I decided to go ahead & cut mine as well. (I cut off a little over 12 inches.)

Lexie loved getting to pick out a new bow & she also got a sucker to give to Joseph. I think it's time to figure out how to make some more bows for this cute little girl.

Who's Your Mama?

Yesterday, as I was getting Lexie a snack, she called me by her teacher's name. (I guess I don't get to spend enough time with my daughter...) When I told her teacher about this, she laughed & said, "Well it's about time, I'm always getting called 'Mom' by my students."

More Fashion Sense

Andrew certainly has his own ideas on what he wants to wear. He was wearing a nice white shirt (with his favorite tie, of course). About 10 minutes later he came in with another shirt over his first. Then came the shoes. I really did put a matching pair on him. But, sure enough, after helping Lexie with her shoes, I turned around & Andrew had switched one. He refused to wear matching shoes, so this is what he ended up wearing to church. At least Lexie waited until after church to display her sense of fashion.
