Happy Thanksgiving!

Our Thanksgiving started with a PTT (pre Thanksgiving Thanksgiving) on the Sunday before the actual holiday. The girls saw the turkey on the counter and asked me what it was. They didn't believe me when I said that it was a turkey, so I told them it was a dead turkey. Then, later, when they were eating, they kept asking me for more "dead turkey"! Here's Haley enjoying dead turkey:


On the real Thanksgiving we went to my parents' house. Our friend Laura (auntie Laura to the girls) came with us.



The girls dressed up in some princess dresses that my mom got for them, and Abby walked around singing "I'm a princess" for basically the WHOLE day. That song is sort of the soundtrack of my life right now! We all had a great time and enjoyed the delicious food (especially Auntie Laura's sweet potato pie).

The Gimp

Last night Abby and Haley were playing in their room and somehow she hurt her leg. She couldn't put any weight on it and it seemed to be really painful, but there was no swelling, so we decided to wait until this morning before we took her to have it looked at. This morning, she had forgotten about it, of course, so she tried to just get out of bed, but immediately started to cry and fall when she put weight on it. So, Carey took her to the ER and they said she had a fracture and they gave her a splint (I know that's a run on sentence, but I did it anyway). I took her this afternoon to have her cast put on, and that doctor said there was no fracture, so he didn't give her a cast. Hopefully he's right. We're supposed to take the splint off on Saturday and hopefully she'll be able to walk. Anyway, here's a picture (you can kind of see the splint):



If you're puzzled by the fact that she looks so happy, she's our little tv-head, and she actually got to watch shows pretty much all day. Oh, and Cars, which is her FAVORITE movie! A funny thing about it being her favorite movie is that if you watch it with her, in the very beginning there is the screen that says THX and the little Robot comes out (you know that screen they always show in the theater). When that part happens she will smile and say "this is the best part".

So Cute and So Big

Seth continues to be the cutest boy on the earth. He just keeps getting cuter and he's just started making cute little cooing noises. Oh gosh, it's so so darling. He's getting so big, too. I can hardly believe it.



Wax Face

The other day I had candles burning on the mantle. We were leaving to go on a walk, so I pulled them down and let Haley and Abby blow them out, then I stuck them back up on the mantle. Abby asked if she could hold it, and I said no, but she grabbed it anyway.



You can see the result of her disobedience! I was trying so hard not to laugh, because it really scared her (I'm sure it felt so strange...and hot) but she looked so funny. Now we have this picture as the desktop picture on our laptop, and anytime we pull it out, Abby says "I want to see wax face."

A Playdate

Seth had his first playdate the other day. Well, not really, but he did lay next to his future friend, Owen. Owen and his family are friends from our church and they live in our new neighborhood. Seth was born 8 days after Owen, so we've decided they're bound to be great friends. Look how cute:
