December fun

Haley sound asleep in a department store while Jeff was fitted for a suit... Hello from Haley's house!

So silly on the stairs!

Checking out all of the ornaments on Haley's tree - they sure don't stay on very long! :)

For Haley's Christmas present (well, one of them), I painted two walls of her bathroom a bright yellow color to match the ducky theme.

Haley and Raimey

Haley's friend Raimey and my friend Nicole came to visit the day after Thanksgiving. Raimey is only two months older but look at all of her beautiful hair! Haley's got a little bit of growing to do :) Nicole reading a story to both girls...

Haley showing Raimey our Christmas tree lights. The best view is from underneath!

Peekaboo!!

November

Happy Thanksgiving! Haley and Anna giving Grandma & Papa an early Christmas present - a framed picture of their beautiful granddaughters!

Happy birthday Bapa! Haley gave him puppets for the puppet theater he is building in their basement - they are already enjoying them so much!

Too funny! Haley loved the cheese-head hat from Aunt Juliana and Uncle Matt...until she actually had to put it on :)

Hunting weekend

Playing with Auntie Lala... Papa with all the kiddos...

Haley and I in our Halloween costumes :)

Anna in her ladybug costume!

Haley and Gavin

Over Halloween weekend we took a trip to the mountains for the men to hunt and the girls & kids to hang out :) Haley (20 months) and her friend Gavin (14 months) spent a lot of time playing together. Here they are investigating the technology available... Can you see me? I'm hiding in the tent!

Both of them were monkeys for Halloween!

Haley and Gavin love books so if I was reading to Haley, Gavin would climb on my lap too and if Michelle was reading to Gavin, Haley would do the same.

Trick or Treating

The neighborhood across from ours had a trick or treat street through their model homes the week before Halloween. It was perfect for Haley - 6 houses, a pumpkin patch, and a deejay in the street. Here's Haley walking with her Mommy and Aunt Juliana :) Bapa dressed up with Haley and Momo took her from house to house...

Haley's got a cold

I'm watching Haley eat her first Pedialyte freezer pop and she loves it! The cold must feel good against her poor throat. She started with a fever of 102 for Sat night to Mon morning, then it stayed around 100 for a day and then the last two days she has been without a fever but with a terrible cough. I wish I could do more to make her feel better! One thing I did do...I put up the Christmas tree and covered it with lights! Totally unrelated but she was in love with the little white lights and it kept a smile on her face. :)
