Conner From October to November

Thanksgiving 2012

Thanksgiving was a little lacking this year because Bryce and Nykol were in Oklahoma. However, Alex come down from Idaho and that was nice. And the food was yummy. It was the same menu as always, but I would have to say that my mom and I made the best turkey of all time. It was so supper moist even the day after. Kaylee wore the cutest dress. It was an old school cut and it had a turkey on it. I didn't get a super good picture of it which is sad and I think I am going to have to try again another day just because I find it that cute.

Just a few of the Thanksgiving decorations that were up, which was a really nice transition from Halloween to Christmas. I almost didn't put up any but I am really glad that I did. It was nice and made Thanksgiving a little more fun.

Here is our meal after we ate it and on it's way to the fridge. Which I am proud to say all the leftovers pretty much were eaten.

Conner is all tucker out from a long day of Thanksgiving.

A full length shot of Kaylee's dress and of course she didn't want her hair done that day.

1 Month - Conner

So Conner has been alive for a month now. I hate how time doesn't feel right. It's like I feel I just had him and yet it feels like its been forever. He pretty much doesn't do much yet. He is getting better control of he's head and is pretty strong. He got to celebrate Halloween. Kaylee is getting use to him. A few does ago she actually touch him and gave him a kiss. She seems to like him. In the beginning she could care less ablout him, but more and more she wants to include him in our daily activities. I'm just wanting for her to get mad at him and attack. But so far so good.

 

Halloween Night

Finally Halloween is over. Don't get me wrong I really enjoy Halloween, but this year it felt over after the first trunk or treat and Bryce's party on Saturday. Then it felt slightly odd to have more trunk or treating on Tuesday since Halloween felt over. So now it is Wednesday and I was so done with Halloween and ready for Christmas, but we all dressed up anyway. But it wasn't too bad. And Kaylee got to run around with some cousins so that was fun for her. She has been staying up later than normal due to the festivities and she is a person who doesn't do well on less sleep so she was a little grumpy last night. And she really didn't want to take pictures.

Pictures of Conner with his Great Grandma and Grandma.

Kaylee did not like the nose that Abe put on. It grossed her out or something.

I didn't have enough picture of Kaylee in her costume so here we are.

Double the Trunk or Treating 2012

Round one of trunk or treating was on Saturday at my ward which my mom and Abe took Kaylee. I didn't go because I had Conner and I didn't want him around all those little kids who could be sick. I hear she ran around pretty much the whole time having a blast and everyone loved her costume.

Here she is playing with her friend Lily who was dressed as a lily fairy.

Got to have a picture with grandma.

Round two of trunk or treating was at my mom's ward. So I was worried that everyone would be dressed as Merida from Brave but she was the only one at both trunk or treats.

Coloring Halloween pictures.

Smiling with teeth, notice how she has to clench her fist.

Halloween Sugar Cookies 2012

We decorated sugar cookies again this Halloween and it was fun.

Abe creating a masterpiece.

So Nykol was done decorating cookies, but we still had some cookies left to decorate. So she started frosting all the pumpkins white with zero decorations to finish faster and didn't tell anyone. I was appalled when I realized what she was doing, but found it kinda of funny as well. See the white cookie in her hand. Don't worry we add details to them.

Kaylee decorating cookies for the first time.

Conner was not able to decorate this year, but he did don his pumpkin sleeper for the occasion.

The completed cookies.

Nykol also made some Hocus Pocus Rolls which were yummy. They are croissants with a marshmallow dipped in cinnamon and sugar in the center and baked. But you need to make sure the edges are closed.

And my mom made some pumpkin chocolate cookies which I hear were not bad, but could've use some more spice.
