We got to go celebrate Ella's best friend, Riley's birthday with him today!!!

Crazy kids!

The big brothers!

The big 7 year old boy!

They sang Happy Birthday to him while the kids "drove" cars with the plate steering wheel!

Birthday milkshakes!

Ella loves her Riley!

Ninjas

And a pirate!

This morning the boy and his pup were just chilling!

We got a dusting of snow today...apparently any amount of snow is enough for Hunter to shovel!

After he came in we put the ornaments on the tree!

The tree is a little crowded on the bottom half, but oh well : )

Happy "Skanksgiving" as Ella says! We had a GREAT day! We ate too much and had fun playing games and watching Charlie Brown!  I totally forgot to take a picture of us eating dinner. Oops. But here we are eating pie.

My boys and me

Ella eating pie!

FINALLY for the first time ever Hunter likes pie!  I made peanut butter pie hoping that he would like it and he did!!!

My mom, Hunter, Chris and I had 3 fierce games of Sorry. Hunter won the first game (and I won 2nd!) and Chris LOST, and demanded a rematch. 2nd game I won (and Hunter won 2nd) and Nana LOST, and demanded a rematch. 3rd game Hunter won again (and I won 2nd again,) and Chris LOST. Moral of the story Hunter rocks at Sorry. LOL. We laughed A LOT!

Meanwhile I think Grandpa and Ella played about 100 different games, lol, sticking with one game isn't excactly Ella's strong skill.  Here they are playing Guess Who!

My mom wanted me to make sure and take a pic of Chris. He dressed up super fancy for Thanksgiving ( none of us did, but he took the cake with his Batman pants!)

Nana punching Hunter (not really,) it did get a bit competitive : )

 The boys worked on the snowy village again today!!

 Hunter took a break from his crafting....to do more crafts!  He isn't really mad in this pic, just being a goof : )

Ella and Daddy relaxing after dinner.

I had Hunter's teacher conference today. He is smart and kind....which I already knew : ) I am so proud of my boy!!!!

Playing First in Math

Ella asked if she could brush her own hair after her bath.

She actually did a great job!

She was super proud of herself!

My crazy boys working on their snowy village that Nana got Hunter.  Did I mention they are crazy?

Ella cracked me up! She picked up my People magazine and got SUPER excited, "he's cute!" she said.  My girl has good taste : )

I think it is love!

I had big plans for today. Clean house, do laundry, and get the Christmas tree up and decorated. I felt sick all day, I had a horrible headache that caused me to be nauseous all day, advil and ecedrin didn't touch it. Finally I took some sinus pills and felt better around 8:30. Chris got the tree up before he headed into work, but it remains ornamentless. Oh well!

Ella "helping" Daddy spread out the branches.

Hunter playing cars underneath the tree!

Ella got to go to her best friend, Riley's, birthday party today!  It was at an art center and it was super cute!

Coloring and waiting for the rest of the guests to arrive. Who needs their own chairs when you could just share!

Painting their pixie wings!

A pixie and a pirate!

My handsome guy!

We stopped at Home Depot on the way home and bought a new puppy! LOL. Ruby is NOT a fan of the new addition!
