Giving Thanks

We did a little traveling over the Thanksgiving holiday!  We started off in Ames where we enjoyed spending time with the family and even did a little shopping on Thanksgiving Day in the good ol' town of Huxley!

Lillia got her hair done by Aunt Carrie!  Too cute!

Then it was off to Omaha.  Brandon and his brother went to the Iowa/Nebraska game on Friday while the rest of us enjoyed spending time relaxing and doing a little shopping as well!

 

 Lillia loved going outside to look at Papa's Christmas lights on the fence!

 

We celebrated Thanksgiving with Fischer/Miller side of the family on Saturday in Grand Island.  It was fun to see family we don't get to see very often!  Lillia was tuckered out from traveling and playing, but for some reason, nap time was not successful that afternoon.....

It was a great holiday spent with friends and family!  Thankful we go to travel as we did with no complications!  Now it's one last trip back home to Ames to celebrate an early Christmas with my family before staying home until this baby comes!

Lillia Paige

 Just a normal day at home!

Playing with playdough for the first time!  She LOVED it!

Coming soon....a tidbit about Thanksgiving and a few pictures from our travels.

Birthday Flowers

Aren't these beautiful?!

A knock at the door brought this delightful birthday wish from friends back home!  I absolutely loved it and felt very loved by those that sent it!  Thanks girls! 

The Evidence Speaks for Itself

After mixing up a little batch of no-bake cookies....my helper, who was sitting on the counter, helped herself to the spoon in the empty bowl.  We love sharing afternoon delights!

Cuts and Curls

I have really STRAIGHT hair....no body to it really.  So I figured my kids were doomed to have straight hair just like me. 

Well, to my surprise, Lillia has a little bit of curl to her hair!  I love to put a little product in it and watch it curl up!  :)

This was the last picture I got before Lillia went in for her first haircut!  She did well once we got her in the chair and distracted by all the suckers, of which she could pick one, when she was all done!

Lillia even got to put product in her hair, which she was excited about!  Thankfully, her hair still curls up in the back and the little trim is just what she needed!





After a successful haircut, we were off to Target to do a little shopping and get some popcorn and lemonade!  Who can pass up a $1.50 combo with free refills?  Not our family!  What a tasty treat!
