Happy Thanksgiving

Ashlyn and Daddy together. I can't decide who she looks like. She has my eye shape and my feet, but so far those are the only features that resemble me. She is so quiet and reserved, we are thinking she has Toby's personality. She is almost Five months old...my goodness where does the time go. It is so funny how you really can't recall life before they existed. She so wonderful and I find having her, although at times is crazy, also gives me a sense of peace.
We celebrated Thanksgiving with Mimi, Papaw, Uncle Luke, Aunt Amber and Amber's family. We have so much to be thankful for... a strong, healthy and happy family and great friends. I hope everyone had a great day and feels as thankful in the world as we do. It was a wonderful celebration and we look forward to a long weekend with family and doing some serious Holiday shopping.

Sophia's Preschool Thanksgiving Feast

Sophia's Preschool class had their own Thanksgiving Feast and we were invited to attend. When we arrived they put on their Pilgrim hats that they made themselves and sang two cute little songs.
Sophia as a flare for the dramatics. She wants all eyes on her, and when she gets them she really performs.
She looks like she is rocking an air guitar, but she is just jumping at their grand finale.
Their feast had a cute idea behind it, but it was kind of gross. All the kids brought in whatever they wanted... and I mean whatever. They brought Long John Silver's fish, pizza, yogurt, sour patch kids and I am embarrassed to say what we brought...it was Bologna. Sophia loves it and eats it almost everyday for lunch.
Toby and I were looking around the classroom and noticed a bulletin board that had what all the kids were thankful for. Most of the stuff was pretty typical, mom, dad, dogs... Sophia wrote she was thankful for Chris. I hope everyone can read it, it was pretty funny.

Random Photo's

Here are some random photos of the girls.
Sophia and Ashlyn take a bath together every night and I think they enjoy their tub time with one another. Ashlyn laughs and just stares at Sophia while she plays with all the toys.
Mimi monogrammed a hat and scarf for Sophia with her new machine. As you can see, it had little princess crowns all over...absolutely adorable and could not have been more perfect for her.

Our little wall flower as come alive! Toby and I were Sophia-free one evening and Ashlyn just began cackling and uncontrollable laughing. I think she knew she had all the attention and wanted to be heard seen and heard.
Oh, our little princess. She wanted to help Toby rake the leaves, but refused to take off her princess costume. As you can see, we pick our battles with her and she won this one.
Do you like our new centerpiece? Laura bought Ashlyn this Bumbo seat and she loves it. We just sit her at the table and she sucks on her hands while we eat dinner.
