Video - Ellie Kisses Kevin

Here is a video of Ellie kissing Kevin. Also note how she pulls her skirt up. She's modest and doesn't like for her midriff to show! She still loves to play dress up from morning until night. It's a struggle to get her to dress in normal clothes!!

Taking Christmas Cards Pictures

I just thought I would share some of the funnier pictures from our attempts to get a Christmas card picture. The final choice is a secret for now!

Stanford/Notre Dame Tailgate

As co-founder of the football club (are you surprised by this?), Chris helped with the GSB Stanford/Notre Dame tailgate party. Lots of family came out, and we had a really fun afternoon. Lots of ball tossing, dog petting, snacking, and baby holding! Todd was great with Kevin and gave me a chance to have both hands!!

Ellie and Kevin Play

November 21 - Ellie loves Kevin very much. She often says things like, "I love you, Kevin. You're the best baby brother in the whooooooole world."

Kevin Wears Daddy's Hand-Me-Downs

Kevin is wearing a hand-me-down from Chris and his brothers. It's crazy to see Kevin in his Daddy's baby gear! Thanks to Granny who loves to save!!

Building Towers

November 15 - Ellie loves building towers with these blocks, and thinks it is great fun when it all falls down!

Kevin loves to watch his big sister and is really starting to look like Chris.

Kevin in the Playgym

November 11 - Kevin just looks cute. His hair still sticks straight up, and he always keeps his eyes wide open as if he is surprised about something!

Movie Night!

On November 9, we had a movie night! Ellie chose the movie - Beauty and the Beast, of course! The boys got a little bored at times, but the fighting scenes always drew them back in! Ellie was captivated from start to finish!

Video - Nursery Rhymes

These are for Granny...


Hey Diddle Diddle


Baa Baa Black Sheep


Diddle Diddle Dumpling My Son John - in Ellie language. She knows this one, but she wanted to sing it "silly".

Kevin gets stuck...

Big sister has fun! Is this a sign of more to come?

Video - Kevin Laughs

Here's a really cute video of Kevin laughing at my fake sneezes. It's pretty short!

Halloween

Ellie was supposed to be a cow. She picked out the cow outfit before we left Texas. She slept in it and wanted to wear it everywhere for two weeks. But when it came time to dress up for Halloween, Ellie wanted to be a princess. I tried to make her a cow. I put the outfit on her and told her how great it looked. She sat on the floor and cried. I gave in. She was a princess.

It was really worth it. She was so proud, and she thought she was so beautiful. She decided that Chris was her prince and called him Prince all night. It was really sweet. I asked her if she wanted to wear a crown, and she said, "No, I tink I'm beautiful just the way I am." Very cute... You can tell she's had lots of coaching by Daddy!

At our courtyard party, we had pizza, made rice crispy treat spiders, played, and went trick-or-treating.

Kevin made a great cow. We had a really fun night.

Biz Kids Halloween Party

Pumpkin Patch with the Family

We went to Ardenwood farm. Ellie loved the hayride, hay pyramid and pumpkins. We saw orange, purple and green cauliflower. Kevin slept through it all!
