Again....its been way too long since I have posted anything so will try to get everyone caught up on the last 2 months. This was a great Thanksgiving Weekend for us. Thursday we hit the road by 8 am, got to catch up with Great Grandma Eileen, Grandpa Dan, then up to Mimis for lunch, then on to Gigis and Great-Great Aunt Katherines for Dinner with Nana, Papa, and the Hillier Family. Friday was filled with shopping, the girls first Metro Bus Ride, and Nana and Papa helping up put up the Christmas Tree. Saturday was filled with more decorating, Mimi coming up to watch the girls, and Anthony and I getting to go to the Apple Cup for the first time in years (and Yes..I left happy). By the end of the day Sunday, we are almost done shopping, have some gifts wrapped under the tree to all of us are pretty tired. Must say though....I am pretty thankful for my family and friends - its always so much fun. 
Kate and Ella checking out the insides of the tree.
Santa arrived at Gigis house on Thanksgiving night - what a surprise. Ella could have skipped the visit.
Kate was pretty excited that he knew where to find her.
Ella looks like a queen on this great seat......but her eyes say it all - NO MORE SANTA.
We even got gifts.
A great picture with Mimi! who also caught us wrestling on her chair. One of our favorite things to do as sisters is run around screaming and climbing over furniture.
Tea time anyone? Mimi just re-painted the "girls" room at her house and has a new table and tea set. Too much fun.
One sugar or two??????
CHEESE
Santa was at Costco a week ago....Ella thought he was great until she saw Kate get on his lap and then realized what was in store. Classic picture.
Kate got invited to a party at Pump It Up...and Ella loved it - after the group picture below she ran over to get a shot of herself with the slide.
And she is so serious - All the kids having so much fun.
Kate and Mimi with their Shrinkadinks! A huge hit.
We took the kids to tailgate at the Washington vs. Oregon game. Kate got the camera and got some shots of the other kids. Ella eating BBQ
Jeffrey!!!!!!!!!!!!
Alli - on the move.
we headed down to Las Vegas just before Halloween and had a great time. We hit up a pumpkin patch and had a blast jumping away.
and checking out all the animals.
We also took a hike on the edge of the city and ate lunch looking out on the strip.
The best part of the trip was just hanging out with everyone and playing.
We also took a hike to Red Rock Canyon
Hot tub!!! Love it.
What a project!
We hit the Zoo on a beautiful but cold Fall day. I thought Kate looked the part of the pirate princess in the leaves.
Ella and Dad...looking for the monkeys.
Its finally Halloween and off to trick or treat.
Heading up to Aunt Teras house.
The loot.
Our Beautiful Lady Bug (Ella almost 16 months old) and Kate in the same outfit (almost 15 months old). Fun to see the similarities and differences.
