We had a wonderful Thanksgiving this year. I have so much to be thankful for that I don't know where to begin. I count my blessings every night and we all enjoyed being with family! Before we left for Houston to spend the holiday at my parents house, we "ran" a 5k. It was the Prairie Lights race where you get a sneak peak at all of the Christmas lights. It was cold and raining, but the girls had fun...I am in the middle of training for a 5k so we ran some of it but I plan to run a 5k in Dec.
The usual 4 hour drive became 5 due to holiday traffic but we made it to Houston! My sister and her boyfriend were there, my brother drove down from Dallas too and my cousin Ashley who is currently stationed at a base in San Antonio for the Navy took a bus and spent Thanksgiving with us! Claire and Alli doing a puzzle...Claire can do 100-150 piece puzzles now.
Claire helped my Mom make dinner.It was amazing and we were all stuffed.
I gave Claire some sparkling cider and the bubbles made her make this face after each sip.
Aubrey waiting for the turkey to be ready.
This is the first year we are doing the Elf on the Shelf. The girls love looking for him every morning and I can't tell you how many times I have already said "The elf is watching, you better be good".
It has been so long since I've been to my sister's loft downtown so we took the girls for a visit. She has so much style, I am not sure how we are sisters...
My brother had to go home early but the rest of us went out to dinner!
I took about 40 pictures of the girls in these cute Christmas dresses in the hopes of getting that perfect Christmas card picture. FAIL.

Happy Halloween!
We had a great Halloween this year! Claire is old enough to really get into it and even Aubrey got the hang of it! We got our money's worth...I think I dressed the girls in their costumes five times for school, parties at a friends house and Brad's work, ballet class and trick or treating. Brad pulled the girls in the wagon from house to house while I handed out candy. We ran out of candy at 8:30...we had a ton of kids from the surrounding apartments, and even some of their parents held out bags for candy. Nice. Brad said Aubrey would go right up to the door with her basket and she came home with more candy then Claire because she would just keep standing there waiting for more candy. Claire would tell each person handing out candy that she is allergic to peanuts. I love my Stawberry Shortcake and Little Red Riding Hood!
