Coloring, Thanksgiving and a Christmas Tree

Hey there, friends!  I have pictures to share today.  First up is something that is trivial to many but a BIG deal to us over here...and that is Paige has finally learned to color!  She used to either throw, break or eat crayons.  And that was after months and months of trying to get her to at least hold one.  She just never had any interest in it or understanding of it.  Well, now not only will she hold the crayons, but she knows what to do with them.  She gets very focused and just scribbles all over her paper....and the coffee table...and books....and even the TV screen.  We're still working on that one!  And even though it's just scribbling, it's a HUGE milestone for this kid!  We're very proud, and so are her teachers and therapists at school!  They are a BIG reason she's learning so much.

Isn't the coffee table so pretty now?  I'm leaving it there.

Here are just some random pictures...pure cuteness :)

And Little Miss Danger helping herself to the dining room table...

Crossing her eyes and looking like an escaped mental patient is also a new talent she's picked up...haha!

We spent Thanksgiving with Marshall's dad and grandma.  We took a walk down to the lake, and Paige was over the moon happy.  She kept jumping up and down and wanted to get in so badly.  It was rather cool and windy, so that wasn't happening.  She did manage to get her shoes and bottom of her jeans wet...little stinker.

Reese wanted to stay far away from the water...so she hung back and observed.  She loved the breeze on her face :)

And today we picked up our Christmas tree.  The girls had a great time running all over the tree lot.  Even though it was an overcast day, the temperature felt great out there.

Reese's new thing...watching TV in the reflection of the glass of this picture frame and rewinding the same part of Dora over and over.  If she turned her head, the TV is right there.  But it's much more interesting watching it like this.  The things my children do....haha.

That's it for now.  See you next time!
