Thanksgiving Weekend...

For Thanksgiving this year we went up to Utah. We stayed with my sister but spent Thanksgiving Day with Geoff's family. We had a very yummy dinner. Then my sister and I stayed up all night for some Black Friday fun. :) Lisa met us around 3 and we went to some stores to check out all the goods. I wasn't that impressed this year but we did get some great stuff! We had a fun time and the kids had fun playing with their cousins.

Cali ran outside before she was bundled up...

Aedan was super excited about his hat and gloves (he didn't want any pictures though as you can tell)...

There were some mini chairs at Tom & Lyndsey's house and the kids had fun sitting on them. Aedan looked like a Grandpa sitting there which made us laugh. He kept adjusting the foot rest so it was just right and then leaned back with his arms on the arm rests. Silly kid!

Cali's cousins carried her around and played with her all day and she LOVED it! Here she is wih her adorable cousin Molly...

Cali was talking on Geoff's phone so I got out my phone and started talking to her. She thought it was hilarious. Whenever I'd put my phone to my ear and say "Hi Cali!" she's put hers up to her ear and talk.

Geoff played some frisby with Aedan at Tammy's house...

Cali just hanging out...

It's getting cold...

and every girl needs a cute pair of tights and a super cute winter coat! So, I found some tights for Cali recently and couldn't wait to put them on her (just like everything else!). Old Navy was having a 50% off outerwear sale a few weeks ago so I got a new coat that I'm very excited about and I also got Cali a cute little coat. So, since she wore both yesterday I decided to take pictures of her as usual. :)

You can't REALLY tell how incredibly cute this coat is in the picture but it's sooo adorable!!

New Moon!!

Last night a few of us girls went to see New Moon! We were tired before the movie even started but were so excited and had such a great time! Geoff made Lisa, Amy and I shirts to wear and that made it a little more fun. :) The theatre was CRAZY and it was hard to get anywhere but we ended up getting some pretty good seats. We had some low expectations after Twilight but were hopeful that New Moon would be better and it totally was! There were a few cheezy scene's but other than that it was great!

Here we are with our shirts waiting in line:

Here are the close-ups of our shirts in case you wanted to see what they said...

I had no idea what Geoff had to do for this shirt! The "Buffy" he used a picture I took off the season cover and somehow created that but the other words he actually had to create each individual letter so it would go with it. He has some amazing talent that husband of mine! :)

Geoff used a picture I took off the Twilight movie for this one and Amy's hubby Nick (Geoff's brother) created the BITE on her shirt to make it look like fangs. Turned out pretty cool...

**We got the ideas for the shirts online but Geoff changed the wording and letters to make them better. :)

Little Darlings...

Today I thought the kids looked pretty cute in my totally biased opinion. :) I put Cali's hair in pigtails and she wore a skirt that I've been dying to put her in with her little fake uggs. Aedan wore a little hand me down jacket from his cousin Zack that looked super cute on him. We think he looked like a little professor or something. He thought he looked pretty cute too (although he didn't want to smile for any pictures). :)

Funny Kids...

Some funny moments recently that I've caught on film...

Lisa & Wade got a dog recently that the kids love! They also love to climb into her cage thingy:

Cali loves to get into the kitchen cupboards like any other normal kid. I found her standing inside a pan the other day and she thought it was pretty funny:

Pigtails...

I think pigtails are so adorable on little girls! I was thinking about that today and wondering if Cali's hair was long enough to put up yet. I tried it and yep... definitely long enough! I'll have to get better pictures one of these days because in these there is either a shadow behind her so it looks like she has 4 pigtails or it's just hard to see them. Either way I wanted to document her 1st day with them! :)

Family Photo Shoot!

Our photo shoot with the family was a little crazy because Aedan didn't want to sit/stand still (typical 2 year old) and the kids wouldn't look at the camera at the same time. I'm surprised that Michelle didn't just tell us to forget it. She was so patient with them. :) She got some great pictures and I'm so happy with them! Here they are...

I LOVE Cali's face in this picture...

I LOVE Aedan's cheesy smile in this one...

I think these of Cali/me and Geoff/Aedan are really cool!

She snapped some of Aedan while he was playing around and got these.

The second one cracks me up! I love them!

Cali's 1 year photo shoot!

Ok, so I chose way too many pictures to post on here but I LOVE all of them so it was hard enough to just narrow it down to these. :) Michelle did such a wonderful job on our pictures and especially on little Cali's pictures. She is such a talented photographer and I'm so lucky that she takes our pictures for us! Thanks Michelle!
