Thankfulness

This post isn't exactly about Thanksgiving, even though I am updating my blog on Thanksgiving weekend. It's just a bunch of random stuff really. First off, we put up our Christmas tree a couple weeks ago (yes, that's right...a couple weeks ago) and it was real fun! I can tell that Ly's really starting to understand stuff and get excited about things. So that makes it extra fun! She actually helped us hang ornaments this year. So cool!
See, she's hanging some ornaments!
She was Daddy's Little Helper...even thought sometimes she wasn't real helpful.. :)
Ok, and I don't really remember when this picture was taken... but I can only say that we are still in the temper tantrum stage because as you can see by the pic below...she can go from real sweet...
To Little Miss Attitude! She's in time out in this pic. But that's ok. We are in the process of disciplining (always) and trying to show Ly temper tantrums just aren't the way to go. You get what you get and you don't throw a fit! WORD!
Oh, but this age is still so much fun! We love taking Ly to the park!!!!
Daddy loves the park too! So much! Here are my two kids... :)
Ly's turn down the slide! WEEEEEEEEEE!
And Daddy's turn down the slide! WEEEEEEEEE!
Ly coming out of the tunnel....
And Daddy stuck in the tunnel... There are some things that really ARE not big enough for adults...
Oh and yes! Kristi and Jo came in town Thanksgiving weekend and we hung out all day Saturday and had a girls night Saturday night! It was such a blessing to sit down and have girl talk with my best girlfriends! :)
Auntie Kristi singing about Ly's favorite food, "Hot dog, Hot dog, Hot diggity-dog"!! HA! Ly loved that as you can tell.
And here are the girls before our "Girls Night" (And no Ly did not come, because a few margaritas might have been consumed that night. I will neither confirm nor deny that.)!!! Oh I miss living in the same city with them!
So that's about it for my Thanksgiving weekend post. I'm thankful for my family and friends! The end.

All Hallows Eve

I think it's fitting that I'm finally updating my blog during my favorite time of the year and about my favorite holiday! HALLOWEEN! We had a great Halloween! Lyla was a ladybug, as you can see. Boy, she was in to the trick-or-treating this year! She didn't want to leave and even asked to go trick-or-treating again tonight too. Bless her heart, I felt bad telling her we have to wait a whole year to go again. Anywho, here are a few pictures of our night trick-or-treating with our little lady...bug. :)

I thought this was cute because she was wrapping her wings around her...like a little cape or something.

Trick-or-treating at Opa's! Oh man, Ly went through my Dad's candy basket and said, "Oh, I like this" or "Eww, nasty"! Miss. Personality!

I believe this was our first house this year...and no, it wasn't that light outside. My flash was crazy bright on my camera! I'm fairly sure I blinded a few folks that night. :)

And finally, here's Lyla and sweet Daddy. I am so thankful to have these two in my life.
