Eye problems

The day after Thanksgiving Andrew by some miracle had the day off! I was pretty excited he did so I could shop! I got up early and took Addie shopping with me all day! We had fun with all my sisters and finished off with lunch at the Habit Burger! It was so nice to have a little break! Andrew had Ella and Easton all day! He took them to see Big Hero 6! Then he treated them to McDonald's! It was a great day for all! At the end we drove home and Ella had been complaining for a couple hours that her eye was bugging her and that it hurt! It was really concerning to him because she wouldn't stop crying. I was worried it was pink eye and wasn't very happy because they had been to McDonald's earlier and played and I knew she had to of picked it up there! Well he took her in to his office in Ogden and ran some tests on her and looked at it. It turned out to be an ulcer on her cornea. It was actually pretty big. He gave her some drops to kind of numb the pain and on the way home picked up a prescription steroid for it. She went right to sleep when they got home! I was just glad it wasn't pink eye! The next morning we took Andrew into work and he took another look at it. It looked about the same but it wasn't bugging her as much! She was so good to let us put the drops in a few times a day! I took her up to his Ogden office on Tuesday and he checked her out during his lunch and it had pretty much healed and he hopes there is minimal scarring! That million dollar education finally paid off!










Gingerbread houses

The Saturday after Thanksgiving is always my families Gingerbread house day! We waited until Andrew was done with work to finish ours! The kids did such a great job and had fun each decorating a side! 
Easton just loved eating all the old stale candy :)!

10 months

On Thanksgiving Day Addie turned 10 months old! It was fun to have her this year and have her celebrate her first Thanksgiving! We are truly so grateful to her and the sweet Spirit she brings into our home! She is busier than ever and is slowly standing up to things. She loves to stand in her crib and bounce! She hates to wear socks and bows, mostly socks! She will end up with frost bite this winter I'm sure of it! She won't keep shoes on either and has learned to take them off by putting one foot behind the other and pushing down to get it off! She loves trying new foods and will eat anything we are eating if we let her! She loves real bananas and crackers! We love you Addie!
Her outfit pretty much fits! It is crazy to think it used to drown her! She has grown up way to fast!

She has no time to take pictures!



She was trying so hard to get it off!







She discovered the toy room this last month and loves to go in and explore! It means it has to be in tip top shape at all times so she doesn't get anything to small in her mouth! 

She loves these car ramps and has learned how to make the songs on them play!

Thanksgiving

This year for Thanksgiving we were together with Andrew's family! It was the first time in about 6 years since we were all together for Thanksgiving. We hosted at our house this year! We had such a nice day and the weather was so nice the kids got to run outside and ride bikes for a little bit! We have so much to be thankful for this year and we are so grateful to spend time with our family this year!





She was done!
Andrew hung our first pictures on our wall that morning! I love how it turned out! 
A little pre-dinner snacking! 
Dinner all ready to go! It came together so well and every one's contributions were perfect! We had such a nice meal! I really felt like I hardly did anything! 



After everyone had gone home! Andrew wanted to have a picture of his beard he grew all month! He shaved it the next morning! It was starting to bug him!
