I am here.

Thanksgiving was amazing. Lots of food laughter and love.

I am excited for Christmas.
I need to clean my house up so Christmas decorating can commence.
I think we will put our tree up tomorrow.
I have been so busy with photo shoots. This is a GREAT thing.
But it leaves little time for other things.
Things will slow down soon enough. And I will have lots of blog bonding time.

But you all should check out my laurenjean blog. Pretty fun stuff going on over there.

One of my favs from thanksgiving

Aunt Meghan and Uncle Josue with Myka.

RIP Sasha

Thursday night I was stressed. I was trying to get the house ready for my in laws to come and stay while me and the Mr took a last minute trip to Wisconsin.
More on the trip later.
My hubby came in the door from work and was ghost white. He told me to come outside.
There she was.
laying motionless on the black street.

Whoever did it didn't even stop.

It was a long night of crying, hugging, and comforting three very sad little girls.

We were sad too.

We love you Sasha R.I.P

A " Mini" Thanksgiving

We made a mini Thanksgiving dinner this year. It was just me and the girls.
Will had to work late.
He works so hard for us.
He is the biggest thing I am thankful for.
We are doing the whole big family Thanksgiving thing this year.
My awesome family is another thing I am thankful for.
But i wanted a chance to talk with my girls when it was just us about being thankful.
I didn't do anything super fancy. Just a frozen turkey loaf. And some mashed potatoes and stuffing. And some veggies.
The biggest treat was the fancy apple juice.
Lexi calls it kid wine.
Lexi was thankful for her family, freedom, and electricity.
Ashlynn was thankful for the same things as her sister , plus our cat Sasha.
Myka was thankful for Ponyo.
Ponyo is a whole other post.
We turned on some Christmas music and I can honestly say we had a good meal.
It was only about 15 min of relaxation before the fighting started again.
But i think the girls will remember it as being much longer.

My little snot face...

Snot has taken over my life !!

She wipes it on my hand , In my hair, on my pillow.

Its so gross.

The i call her snotface and she laughs and laughs.

Then she pinches me.

Then she says sewerry mommy.

Then my heart melts.

Then she calls me a butt head.
