A FEW MORE...

Ok, so I didn't get all of the November pictures in that one post. I double checked and there were a few important things that got left out! And some fun little things too. ;)

My friend Desi took pictures of all the girls in our Young Womens program at church and I was her test subject for lighting and stuff. I thought it turned out pretty good... ;)


We went to Panera for dinner and Cali wanted to take a picture of me...

and then she wanted me to take a picture of her...

Then we were sitting there eating and I realized that Aedan's front tooth was gone. He had been eating his apple and I guess the apple pulled it out and then dropped it on his plate where we found it. He was pretty amazed and luckily my phone was already on the table so I could just snap some pictures really quick...
Can you see the tooth on his plate? Over on the right?




The kids thought the fire outside was pretty awesome so they wanted to sit by it...

Aedan put his tooth under his pillow and the next morning he had skittles and a dollar!

A friend of mine wanted some pictures for her Christmas card at Downtown Brea with all the Christmas decorations. She asked me to take them, even though I'm not a professional or anything, since my camera is pretty good. While we were there she took some of us too. I'm glad I wasn't really needing these for anything because Em was cranky that morning. The sun was shining right on this spot so the kids (especially with Aedan and his extra sensitive eyes) had a hard time with that. Can you tell in these?? Haha










My neighbor who has become one of my best friends turned 30 on Thanksgiving this year! Her sister had the idea to throw a surprise party for her so we did some planning and put the party together. At the last minute the party was moved to the church because of the weather but it was still great! She was surprised and had fun with all her friends. She's pretty awesome!

Cali put on one of the crowns...

Em colored with some of her friends...

Singing "Happy Birthday!"

The birthday girl...

These two were sitting together like this one day and I thought it was kinda funny...

Aedan and Cali both had time outs together and Em thought it was some kind of game so she went and sat with them...

Cali wore these red flowers in her pigtails and when she took them out Em wanted them in her hair...

THANKSGIVING AT SCHOOL

I had a super busy day the Thursday before Thanksgiving. Aedan's class had a performance (songs, poems) at 9 and then Cali's class did theirs (a few songs in the classroom) later in the day. The kids looked so cute in their Indian outfits and both were so fun to watch!


 Walking in with his class...

Aedan saw Geoff and was pointing excitedly...
(He's the little indian in the front/middle)


Em enjoyed it and clapped at the end...


After their performance they all sat and had fruit salad...





I didn't get any pictures of Cali's class doing their songs but I got some of the fruit salad. She was so excited when I got there to help. :)



Their Thanksgiving crafts...

Cali made a little pine cone turkey and it was all purples and pinks...

Aedan made this turkey

FALL LEAVES

We have some beautiful fall leaves that fall around our neighborhood. Some of them are right outside our front door. The kids love them! We went for a walk recently and they played in the leaves...
