Gingrbread Dropouts!

Ella Kate and I attempted to make a gingerbread house, we didn't do so well! But we sure did have a fun time trying! EK said she was making the house for Riley, I told her sister would be so proud! I think she enjoyed eating all of the icing and candy the most!

Ho Ho Ho

We took the girls to Bass Pro to see Santa. There was a pretty long line but at least it was moving(unlike the mall). So RIley and I took our place in line while Ella Kate and Scott walked around the store. EK loved seeing all of the animals and kept asking her daddy to take her back to see Bambi! Riley and I hung out in line while she proceeded to eat everything and anything I could find in my diaper bag! It was finally our turn and Ella Kate looked like she not going to go anywhere near Santa so Scott bribed her, he told her if she sat with Santa he would buy her a Barbie fishing rod. Well, she opted for Ms Clause instead so we handed Riley off to Santa and she took one look at him and lost it! She was not a fan! Ella Kate was happy, she left with her Barbie Fishing Rod!

November has come and gone.......

Just playing catch up-lots going on over at the Falgoust House. Our Thanksgiving was pretty much a bust! We all had the stomach bug and it traveled from person to person all last week. Scott got it on Wednesday and was in bed most of Wed and Thursday and he is the Chef! Me Me took over the cooking duties and all was well in the food dept but too bad all that were up for eating was three of us-Me, Mom, and Ms Angela! The girls sat at the table with us as well, but everyone else was at home sick!!! We have so much to be thankful for so we tried not to let it get us down!

One of Riley's top teeth came in the day before, we keep trying to get a look at it but she will not let us, she lets me poke at it with my finger but not for long! She may just get her two front teeth in for Christmas! She is also crawling everywhere and pulling herself up to stand! She "cruises" when she is holding onto things. Her favorite thing is standing at Ella Kate's kitchen, she is already taking after her dad's love of cooking! And she is all about her sister, she will follow her wherever she goes and I think is even saying her name"EWWA"!

Of course, Ella Kate just loves Riley too. They love to laugh together and it in turns makes us all laugh at them! Ella Kate is all over the place, one minute throwing a tantrum because I will not let her wear her dress up shoes to school and the next being a sweet little angel who tells her Mommy-"Mommy, you are so beautiful and funny!" I think she already has the manipulation thing down pat! I heard her singing in the hallway the other night and looked out to see her decked out in a tu tu with all of her dress up jewelry on and dress up shoes and she was singing- "I am so beautiful, I am so beautiful!!!!" It was too cute! She is also loving all of the Christmas lights, she makes me drive around our neighborhood so she can see them all and last night we were front of a house and she said-"Oh Gracious, they are just so beautiful!" My heart instantly melted!!!!

Now we are just gearing up for Christmas! Santa will be here before we know it!
