Thanksgiving and more

Wow, it's been a long time since I last posted. Things have been a little bit crazy around here. We finally finished our basement last Wednesday and got the carpet in. We have to do a little touch up on the baseboards and still have to put the closet doors together, but other than that it is done! We threw all of Adeline's toys down there, so for now she has a very big playroom. I will post pictures once we are 100% completed and have it a little more organized down there. We will eventually be putting a couch and stuff down there to also make it a hangout area.

Two weeks ago I watched my friend Shelby's little boy Sol for a handful of days. I got a little taste of what it would be like to have twins. They are only 10 days apart. I brought them to the mall a couple of times to a little kid play area they have there to keep my sanity. A lot of people commented on my twins. One of the days, my friend Alexis needed me to watch her daughter Catherine last minute. So I had 3 one year olds and some how I got them all to take naps at the same time.

Thanksgiving was really fun. Thanksgiving is probably one of my top rated holidays. I love being with family and friends, eating a yummy meal and reflecting on all the things I am thankful for. I am Thankful for many things and feel so blessed. We had some of our friends over and we ate dinner and hung out. They all made really good food and were so nice to help me clean up after!

Thanksgiving weekend we went and picked out our tree. I was so bummed that I forgot my camera. Maybe we are just cheap, but all the trees were so expensive. If we wanted a nicer one, it would have been over $100. Finally we found a charlie brown tree that was the cheapest one I had seen, and so we bought it. I actually thought it was really cute, however Abe would probably say differently. It was fun coming home, putting up the tree and decorating it. Adeline loves it and every day she walks up to it and says "tee". She also loves shaking the tree and ripping the ornaments off, but that is another story.


Adeline has just been as cute as ever. She says new words everyday and is a little jabber mouth. Most of the time it is just a lot of mumbo jumbo, but then she adds in some real words too. I need to be better at asking her to say things, because 75% of the time, she repeats what I say. I bought her a little chair to eat in. My mom has the same one and Adeline loves it. I swear that she eats better sitting in it too. Since Adeline has been such a HORRIBLE eater the past couple weeks, I decided to buy it. And let me tell you, she is a much better eater because of it.
