Very Thankful

Oh our Lyza is such a joy. After some fun painting on paper she decided that she should paint her nails

Nice hat Nixon

Lyza gave mama this nice "hat" to wear

Nixon and I before church last week

Beautiful Lyza all ready for church

Nixon turned 9 months last week

Lyza really enjoys playing with these magnets

We had a great Thanksgiving break. Today I finished my four day weekend. On Thanksgiving day we went to the church and celebrated with some other families and had a great time

We truly have a lot to be thankful for

Lyza has been a great little helper recently. We have been giving her chores and assignments to do around the house and she is really proud of herself when she completes them. She has been really good to set the table for us before meals. Who cares if the forks are upside down?

She also loves to peel her own oranges. We don't mind because it keeps her occupied for quite a while

Kim did a little Black Friday shopping and Lyza thought the Styrofoam was the best part

On Friday we also did some Christmas decorating. We couldn't find Lyza for a second and then discovered she was inside of the empty wreath box (which just happened to be balancing half-way on the table)

We read the Christmas story together

The kids love playing with their Little People nativity set together

Lyza made a tower with her nativity blocks

I got the Christmas lights hung up

Nixon likes all of the shiny decorations

This guy knows how to go shopping comfortably

After a little shopping trip we decorated the tree together. We are just doing a small tree this year since Nixon is so mobile and getting into everything

 We are very excited for Christmas together. It is especially exciting because it is Nixon's first Christmas 

Here is a cute video of Nixon playing with Lyza's car (don;t worry about the pink car, he will get his own for Christmas ;)

That's all for now. Take care
