B-U-S-Y

Man, I just THOUGHT I was busy this time last year...Georgia was just starting to walk & Ivy Jane was still a little baby "blob", staying put wherever I put her. NOW, we have two very BUSY little girls who like to go go go! This is such a busy time of year, but throw an almost 2 1/2 year old and an almost 16 month old into the mix and it can get crazy busy! Of course, I wouldn't have it any other way and I'm thankful to be so busy (I've actually lost weight running after those two busy little girls)!

We travelled over the Thanksgiving holiday to visit our families & enjoyed our time away, but we were ALL glad to get home & sleep in our own beds. We headed west after Shelby got home on Tuesday, stopped by to eat supper with my family & let the girls play and take their baths. Clad in their "jahmies" we got the girls all snuggled in the car with their pillows and blankets, and their "Praise Baby" dvd. An hour down the road they were asleep, but woke up when we arrived at Mimi & Granby's house.

The next morning, Paula had a floral activity for Georgia. Paula is so good with Georgia & Georgia LOVES to help. They worked hard at it...
Concentrating so hard...
And then she gave it to MOMMA! She was so excited to show me her turkey. (Sorry for all of the bed head in the pictures, but it was a sweet little moment that I wanted to capture!)
That evening Shelby's grandma had all of us over for pizza! She lives in a retirement center now and has the nicest little apartment and seems so happy! Georgia loves her Great Grandma...
After pizza Ivy Jane enjoyed hanging out with Granby...
And after pizza Georgia enjoyed vanilla ice cream & strawberries with Heather...
We had a GREAT feast for lunch on Thursday and headed to Grandma & Paw Paw's house that afternoon. The day after Thanksgiving is opening day at the farm. We lasted a few hours on Friday, but only about an hour on Saturday. It rained Saturday until about noon & then got EXTREMELY windy & cold, but the girls had playing for a little while with their cousins.

Georgia & her oldest cousin, Luke. He is such a sweet boy & is SO very good with the girls. Look how happy Georgia Claire is in this picture!
I think Ivy Jane loves Caroline, too!
Trying to get a picture with our Christmas tree was next to impossible!


Saturday night we ate supper, got the girls bathed, and then headed home. Georgia Claire "read" a book to her baby & then sang her a song...
Ivy Jane watched a video and just chilled...
So thankful for our family!
