The Latest

We had a super fun Thanksgiving with G & KT's family and Karen & Kyle's family.  Isobel decided to make a robot body from a box.  After everyone left, she took a nap in it :)  Guess she was worn out, too.
 Eva lost another tooth - finally!  This was hangin on forever and she finally let me pull it.
 The biggest news to the girls, they got their ears pierced on Saturday.  It was funny because we had planned to spend the day chopping down a tree but Bryce forgot to get a permit AND Eva kept protesting.  "I don't want to hurt nature!"  Bryce was sure she must have heard that at school but she denies it :)  Our day was open and Lily had just gotten her ears pierced so we were talking about it.  I told Isobel a couple years ago that she could get it done when she was 8 years old.  She said I scared her when I explained how it was done.  So I re-explained it and that she would be fine if she wanted to do it - she likes shots afterall.  So then we thought it might be fun for them to do it the same day - Isobel was ok with sharing the experience with Eva.  Then on a whim I texted Karen to see if she and Courtney wanted to join.  So we made our way to Claire's in the mall.
 Pre-peircing purple dot.
 Post-peircing saphire.  (I love that she picked my birthstone.  I, too, think it is a great one :)
 Eva was next and READY.
 Oh, and she loves her little blue daisy earrings!
 Courtney decided she wanted to do it and then was super scared. (That is why Karen thought watching my girls brave it first would help.  Courtney HATES shots.)  After the girls were done.  So cute!
 While in Claire's, I couldn't help but try on my own accessory :)  No, I didn't buy it.
That's the biggest news of the last week or so.  We are getting super excited for family to come visit before Christmas!  Then we'll be off to Utah for a week in January.  So many fun things to look forward to. :)
