Where Has The Time Gone??

I had to look back, and realized it's been nearly a month since the last time I posted a real post. Pathetic I know.. but, hey, I like my sleep these days and try to get to sleep by 9 (yes, I'm aware I'm getting old).

So, lets get started..

A week before Thanksgiving, we had a meatball making party at my mom and dads. Us girls roll, and dad fries. We rolled roughly 625 meatballs. It's so nice to have them sitting in my freezer, ready to eat for whatever, whenever.

We'd gone to Julian's basketball game prior to making meatballs, and he did great! It's so fun to watch these little kids run around. Quentin liked watching the game as well, and said he wants to play. I think maybe next year, he'll be old enough.

Happy Thanksgiving - We headed to my cousin Frankie's house for Thanksgiving dinner this year. Of course, we don't have a traditional sit down dinner with beet or anything. Ours consists of arriving at 1, eating buffet style.. ALL DAY LONG!!! Playing cards, looking at the black Friday ad's, and catching up with everyone. It's sad, how most of us live within 30 minutes, at most, of anyone, and yet, we rarely see each other. It's also fun to watch all the kids interact. And, would you believe it, I took ZERO pictures while we were there.

Of course, I had scouted out the ads, and had my plan for black Friday shopping. And, that was to do it all online. Most stores and websites opened at 8pm that night. So, after the kids went to bed, I went shopping in my jammies. I got some great deals, without waiting in lines, and it was even delivered to my house free.

Friday morning, the kids were up early, as always. It's also the day we put up the christmas tree. So, thats what we did. Next year, we're planning bring back the popcorn garland. Lets hope Frodo doesn't attack the tree in attempt to eat it.

If you notice in the pictures, Cameron's cheeks are a little rosy. He came down with a rash a week after his 15 month appointment. It was all over his face, legs and arms. Thankfully, it didn't seem to both him much, just looked very irritating to us. I did take him to the doctor for it. I had called them, and asked if it could be another reaction to the shots, like he had at his 1 year appointment. But, thats not the case, and it kept getting worse. Thankfully I did take him. Although they couldn't do anything about the rash, he did end up having an ear infection to go along with it. The rash has since gone away for the most part. It was pretty bad, and he may actually have some scarring on his legs from it.. poor guy. I imagine with age and growth, it will pretty much dissolve though.

So, on to some fun pictures from November..

Who says kids aren't creative - Quentin made up a game
Knock the pins over, but hope they don't go down the stairs.

Quentin LOVES feeding Cameron so much, we had to
separate them. 

Daddy busted out his lego's from when he was a kid.
Quentin loved it. 

SO BIG!! 

Quentin showed Cameron the ropes of feeing Frodo. 

The last weekend in November was finally warm enough to get outside, and get some fresh air. There was a little snow left on the ground from the first snow fall of the season, and Quentin loved throwing snowballs. Jeremy finally had no excuse to not get the christmas lights up.

It was even nice enough to ride bikes. 

On to December...

Cameron has mastered going up and down the stairs. 

They love giving Frodo hugs.. not sure how much Frodo
likes it though. 

We got "Elfed" and Q LOVED it. I also loved it, as there
was hot chocolate in our bag, and it sounded so good, but
I didn't have any. 

Thankfully both boys love bath's,.. and splashing. 

This past weekend, we had a little playdate christmas party for some of our friends, and their kids. We exchanged names for gifts, and had a little pot luck. It was a ton of fun, and all the kids did great. I think there were only a couple screams over toys. :)

This picture makes me laugh, as Cameron is screaming, both
Wyatt and Jackson are looking at him like he's crazy. 

Q was excited to get some duplo blocks
and animals. 

Stella loved the bug catching puzzle she got. :) 

Betty.. well, Betty liked the farm toy that was on the fridge. :) 

Last but not least - Happy Birthday Jeremy! He turned the big 3-5 on Tuesday. 

We were suppose to have Quentin and Cameron's Christmas program for daycare tonight, but it was canceled due to weather. Quentin has been practicing his songs every night. I'll try to get them on video and share, because they are pretty cute.

We have a fun filled weekend planned with Breakfast with Santa, A Christmas party, and the Mohler family christmas, so stay tuned to see pics from that. Hopefully it won't be another month.
