1st haircut...

maisy's hair was getting so long. her bangs were in her eyes all the time and her curls in the back weren't as curly because they were weighed down by the length.  we couldn't wait for auntie jody to come and visit for thanksgiving and to give maisy her first haircut. so yesterday, when things quieted down a bit and maisy had, had a good nap we decided to give it a go. we gave her a cup of sprite with a straw so she wouldn't have to put her head back to drink. then her "boyfriend" bryan (actually jody's boyfriend) held her. she did an amazing job. i don't think she really got what was going on.  auntie jody did an amazing job and maisy looks adorable. we can see her eyes again and her curls are curling again.  thanks so much jody, it was pretty special to have you give maisy her 1st haircut. xoxox

quick update...

had a great day yesterday. hung out with the fam, miles and the boys went boating at lopez, and the girls shopped a bit. the boys minus miles went to a comedy show, and the girls, minus sam sam and maisy went to the OG for dinner. went to the outlets for a brief shopping spree and then headed home for a few glasses of vino...  maisy is going to get her first haircut today, i'll post pics later.

turkey hangover...

we had an awesome day yesterday. david's mom dawn came up from thousand oaks on tuesday. we hung out shopped and then she cooked dinner for us yesterday.  miles helped me set the table, it came out beautiful. miles even went outside, picked some lovely yellow flowers which we used to decorated the table.  the meal was so good, but i have to admit, my late night turkey leftover sandwich was my favorite.  after dawn left we headed over to sam sam and papa's we had another dessert and hung out with the aunts and uncles.  i headed to michael's at around 8:00 pm for a their super big sale. so i picked up some cricut cartridges, got some ornaments for maisy's tree and a gingerbread house for miles and i to put together. i can't wait for maisy to be old enough to join in the tradition. will be putting fall away this weekend and dragging out the christmas stuff... sooooo excited! we will probably get our tree next weekend.

christmas photo shoot

i went to images for kids two weeks ago and had the kids pictures taken. i wasn't sure if i was going to use them for our x-mas cards this year, but i remembered how last year went. so when i got the pics back i decided to use them for our cards this year. the photos below are not the actual pictures i am using for the cards, these are just a sampling. i can't believe today is thanksgiving already... i will be putting away the fall decorations and putting up the x-mas decorations this weekend, or at least starting to. this year has gone by so fast, but i will save the memories for a future post. hope you all have a wonderful thanksgiving. i am so thankful for all my friends and family and a very special thanks to my wonderful husband who has been working his a$@ off. love you babe!
HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!

kindergarten feast...

yesterday was miles' thanksgiving feast at school. his class had been practicing songs and making costumes for weeks.  the other kinder's joined miles' class in the cafeteria to sing some native american songs.  then they all sat down at the decorated tables for their "feast" of chicken nuggets, bananas, corn on the cob and cookies. not very traditional, but very cute. it was so cool to see miles' teacher mr. grigsby and his student teacher dressed up in native american outfits.

not feeling 100%

since i am trying to do the post everyday of november, here it is... short and sweet. i am not feeling that great.  i am hoping it's just that i am overtired, we'll see. have a wonderful tuesday!
