Merry Christmas

November Excitements

So I have been just terrible about posting... and have lots of pictures to catch up on!  I will try to catch up with a series of pictures from the last couple months.  Preparing for baby #3 arrival, we moved Sarah from her pink/green bedroom and put her in the 4th bedroom that wasn't really being used.  We painted her room purple this time.  We then painted tan over the pink in her old room and turned it to a jungle nursery for baby boy.  Not wanting James to be left out of all the redecorating fun, we did extreme home makeover on his bedroom for his birthday.  He got a rock and roll bedroom.  Yeah, baby!  Cause THAT'S HOW WE ROLL!

 James and my dad share the same birthday.  James picked creme brulee for his birthday "cake" this year.  Here are the two birthday boys!  Love both of you!

 Yes, this is a straw and he is drinking milk through it.  :)

 November had some fun sister moments.

 And teaching the maddening game of Risk to our kids.

 November also brought Pinewood derby.  James took 2nd this year.  Good job, bud!  It was sure a close race and I'm glad you had so much fun!

Love days like this!

I love days where you really feel productive.  This week, I repainted the bathroom (fixing a color choice disaster from a month ago).  Looks MUCH better.  Also painted this large tree on the wall in the family room.  Turned out pretty cool.  Have my paint ready to give a fresh coat to the living room... NESTING IS AWESOME.  I think I should be pregnant all the time just for the motivation of getting all the projects done.  Been a good day.  

For the love of October!

October is always such a fantastic month... not just cause it's my birthday month (although it does seem that people with birthdays in October are especially fabulous).  I just love the weather changes... Fall is great.  This October was a long month because of lots of details we won't go into now.  However, we had some great moments!  Chris and I celebrated our 10 year anniversary!  I don't know where the time went.  Been an awesome 10 years.  Glad I had someone uniquely wonderful to share it with.  :)

Below are some pictures from Halloween:

 Chris carved this "Barbie and the Frog" pumpkin for Sarah.  She loved it.  In fact, it was quite a hit.  We had lots of trick-or-treaters stop to take pictures with the pumpkin.

 I carved this goofy thing with the tongue sticking out.

 James did a great job on his pumpkin!

 Sarah was Ariel this year and made sure we knew she HAD to have red hair and red lips.  Grandma Boyer brought over the red wig for her.  She left it on a majority of the night.

 James was a super creepy monster guy from Pirates of the Carribean.  My sister was a cowgirl.

 James and Sarah giving love!  Sarah showing off her whip cream mustache after some yummy hot chocolate.

We've had Brooke over a lot this month and it's been GREAT!  LOVE HER!!!!
