It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas...

November 28th thru December 4th:

On the way home from our Thanksgiving trip, my mom called and told me that she found some hair clippings on her desk in her office, close to the scissors.  I checked Hazel and Charlotte's hair and asked them if either one of them had cut their hair and they both said no, quite innocently. The next day I took the girls to the library and as I was holding Eloise, I saw this:

I never thought to ask the girls if they had cut ELOISE'S hair...

The night we got back from Phoenix, we went straight to Home Depot to get our Christmas tree!

  I love decorating for Christmas. I always listen to the same Christmas CD with the classics and let Hazel pull out our family ornaments that we collect each year, each one showing something special that we did that year.

 Eloise helped untangle the beads...

Christmas is so much more fun with these little ones!

Five months belly shot.

I love having a real tree up in my house.
Eloise has really developed her personality this month.
 
  I started stripping and painting this antique furniture set for the girls' room. Feels like it will never be done! At least it's off my back porch and in progress (in our crowded dining room!)

Love those pigtails and love that she is obsessed with animal books.

Ellie's pudgy hands.

So this is actually a really sad picture because she is really constipated but I was just so impressed with her perfect plank position. Future yoga queen here.

I love December! So much to celebrate as we remember our Savior and count our many blessings.
