Thanksgiving

We had a great Thanksgiving. We had the traditional dinner with some great friends and then went over to Bryan and Allie's house for our second helping of pie. We've had such a wonderful long weekend and I'm sad it is almost over. I am especially dreading Matt's new commute to work starting tomorrow. We really had the best four days together though. We went shopping, out to eat, saw Tangled (so cute!), watched the BYU game, and spent so much time hanging out as a family. I am most grateful for my family!!

82 Degrees in November??

The girls and I had a fun morning at the park with friends and then we spent the night decorating for Christmas.
.
Moved the girls to the back of the van to make room for Tanner.

This picture just makes me giggle.

Decorating the tree with the girls was magical, they were so excited and loved every second of it. They especially love the ornaments that sing, move, and make all sorts of noise.

Our little Christmas room.

"Santa's corner" but we can't forget the reason for the season.

Sneak Peek

Here are a few pictures of Baby 'Graham' Shumway (Not sure if his name is officially Graham). He was born 11/15/2010 weighing 6lbs 13oz. I instantly fell in love and can't wait to hold him more. Allie did so great and just loves her baby boy and Bryan is a proud new daddy. Thanks guys for letting Matt and I come hang out with you that night. SLY!!!
LOVE HIM!

Cousin on His Way!!

These two are always pretty happy but today they are especially happy because their newest cousin should be born any minute now. They don't get to visit him today because they have little colds but they have colored him several pictures and written many notes. This morning when I told them that Aunt Allie was having her baby today they both got the biggest smiles on their faces and started jumping up and down. Sienna said, "Noooooo" but as in "really?!" It was so cute and I can't wait for them to meet Baby George.

Worn Out

The girls played with Audrey and Drew while I had my doctor appointment. Tanner measured 3 weeks small today. My doctor seemed worried and she called for an ultrasound. I wasn't worried. He moves like crazy and has been measuring exact up to this point. Plus, right before she measured me, I had a contraction/braxton and I couldn't feel him after. (I couldn't find his arms/legs like usual, etc) I think he just curled up in my back or something and hid from us. Long story short, they did an ultrasound, he measured right on (told you!), and I got to see my little man. I'm tempted to suck in my stomach at the rest of my appointments now so I can see him more often. My tech was having tons of fun showing me things but my darn placenta was right up in his face so we couldn't get good clear shots. He had his hand right up against his mouth the whole time and at one point even looks like he was sucking his thumb. So grateful everything is okay and Tanner seems to be doing well. Too bad she couldn't print the pictures she wanted to show me but it was still such a nice surprise being able to see him today. I cannot wait to meet him next month!

Sadie fell asleep within 5 minutes of getting home from Kiera's house. Shortly after falling asleep, she tried to reposition herself a couple of times and got so unbalanced and about smacked her face into the table. Now she is comfortable on the couch.
