Thanksgiving

We drove to my parents house on Wednesday and got there around 10:30. My mom had made Talia ice cream, so we let her have some even though it was late. Natalia has only had a few bites of ice cream and that was over a year ago so I don't think she really remembers. I have read lots of allergy websites and most of them say that any store bought ice cream runs the risk of being contaminated by nuts.

We spent Thanksgiving Day at the nursing home visiting my grandma and Carol. It was really nice getting to spend some time with her. The rest of the visiting company was flying in that day, so it was nice having her all to ourselves.

My mom made her Thanksgiving meal on Friday. I was busy helping so these are the only two pictures I have from that day. The above one is Talia mopping the floor in a pair of my old heels, and the one below is Alexa taking a nap.

Snow

I'm a little late on the snow pictures. I forgot they were on my camera. Talia loved playing in it for the three days it stuck.

Natalia is into nursing her babies. She tells them to "eat the boobies".

She also likes to make herself pretty every time she gets her hands on makeup. Because of the flash you can't tell how much eyeshadow she has all over her cheeks, but if you look at her shirt you can get a good idea.

Christmas Card Preview

Saturday I took pictures of the girls for our Christmas card, and I ordered them yesterday. Personally I think they are super cute. Look for them in early December.

Two Sundays Ago

I discovered the peppermint oreos last year when I was pregnant. I saw them in the store again this year and had to get them. I left them a little too close to the edge of the counter in the kitchen, and when I went to go get one they were all gone. I found all of the cookie parts on Talia's table.

I have been super bad about keeping the blog updated. These pictures were taken two Sundays ago at Joan and Jeff's.

Joan got a stroller for Talia to play with. She absolutely loves it. She has stopped using her stroller at home and asks everyday were the pink stroller is.

The other day I showed Talia pictures of her in the pool in Key West. Now she asks multiple times a day if we can go to the pool. The above picture is what I get when I ask her to smile for the camera.

Baby Lexa is finally starting to get her first tooth. Her bottom right tooth is beginning to push through her gums. She has gotten pretty good at gumming goldfish and cheerios, but I think she'll like having teeth. She can stand up on her own now from the floor. Sometimes she even picks up a toy on her way up. She can walk behind a push toy and along the sofa so I think she'll be walking on her own soon. She says dadadada and babababa a lot, and only occasionally says mamamama.

Minnehaha Falls

On Saturday we went to Minnehaha Falls to walk around. It was a nice day, a little windy, but since it is bound to snow soon we wanted to spend some time outside. Talia was not interested in the falls at all. She was only concerned about pushing Lexa in the stroller.
