November

I have such a lack of creativity in the post title department! It's just that life is passing quicker than I can make time to document these days! Since Thanksgiving is fast approaching, and December is one of our fullest months, I thought it best to just bulk this month into one post! We stayed sick for most of the month. Blakely caught a cold just days after this picture was taken. 

 Took a little bit of bribing but I got them to stay still for a picture before church!

 I can't get over how grown up she looks!

 These two look like this every single morning when I wake up.

 We made it to the zoo one day before everyone got sick and before the cold front hit! Blakely loves the petting zoo portion today just as much as she did 3 years ago!  

 Parker wasn't so sure...

 They both loved the pony and wanted desperately to ride him!

 "Take my picture, Mom!!!"

 Here we have night #2 of Stridor...aka the worst nighttime illness alive. In hindsight, we should have payed the ER a visit that night, but instead I decided to just stay up all night to make sure he didn't quit breathing. Since it was freezing cold outside, we were able to do the 'freezer trick' outside and it helped enough each time he got bad that I decided to avoid the germs at the hospital. Sick little man went to the doc twice, and was filled with 5 doses of steroids to fight this virus off! Croup is truly the worst!

 Blakely is just the best big sister! 

 Already getting in the Christmas spirit!!! 24 Christmas books wrapped and ready to be unwrapped daily!

 We had to take another picture so that 'everyone could see her garland headband and her jingle bell!'

 My loves.

 Can you tell they love these glasses?!?

Even though this month was filled with sickness, it was nice to just have days of cuddles and quietness. We didn't get out much at all, which was a nice change of pace. I'm ready for some holiday chaos though!!! So bring on the Turkey, birthday cake and Christmas carols!!!! Yay for my favorite time of year!!!!!
