Almost Thanksgiving!

We had a little leftover milk (Mommy had gone to the movies!) so Daddy got to feed Abby for the first time. So cute!

What to do for FHE when it has snowed outside....Sledding, of course! I caught Chelsea off guard here so I took a second one, but Brie was so cute I had to post them both.

These girls LOVE their snow gear. It is usually a challenge convincing Brie to take her coat and boots off after coming in. And getting her to come in is almost always a struggle as well. Getting her out of the van has become an issue too. She likes it all too much! It can take a long time to get back in the house and settled some times.

And everyone is ready to go!

This is Brie's first experience with sledding.

After going down the hill, they went up the next one a little bit with their momentum. As they stopped, they ended up tipping backward, which Brie got the biggest kick out of.

For our treat we enjoyed a lovely homemade pie from the Bent family.

Grandma had Abby smiling and cooing like crazy. But of course the camera puzzled her and distracted her, so no smiles were captured. Again. Someday I will be able to show her that yes, she was actually happy as a baby and not always serious. Or bored looking.

Helpful big sister putting the pacifier back in her mouth.

These girls love the iPad. They'd play it all day if they were allowed. I love that it's an easy distraction, and if I need some quiet time I can suggest Chelsea play a game on the iPad and she's all for it. But now Chelsea is saying, "Brie, don't you want to play ponies?" when she had no interest in the iPad at all. Then she wants it. Grr. I'm trying to limit the amount of electronic entertainment they have, and it's difficult when big sister suggests it all the time. Oh well. They'll be pretty good with all that stuff thoughout their lives. Not like us parent-folk, right? ;)

I love the snow gear ones, particularly Brie's face in the first!
