Thanksgiving 2016

We had such a relaxing Thanksgiving...well, aside from the fact that Camille had 102 fever and was sick as a dog.  We started the day going to Amanda's and then went to the farm.  So much fun and so much delicious food! 

Aubie Claus 2016

This picture....there are no words.  To start, Haisley was terrified for 2 days leading up the to the picture.  I mentioned to Mark that we would be getting pictures and she was hysterical.  I'm talking about biting her nails, couldn't eat, and crying like you wouldn't believe.  I had to beg and plead and promise candy before she agreed to even go the venue.  We finally got her there and upstairs and basically through her in the picture, but told her she didn't have to get close, which is why she is 10 feet from Aubie.  Camille clearly screamed.  Benton was SO excited to see Aubie.  He even took his Aubie Christmas ornament to show off!  When we were leaving, Haisley said, "Whew, we don't have to do that for another year."  My thoughts exactly, sweet girl!

Camille is 15 Months

This adorable baby is 15 months old.  She is one of the sweetest, smiliest, little things that I have ever met.  She is funny, too!  Her personality is coming out more each day!

Some updates on the angel...
Teeth:  Whew....I've about lost count, I think 12.  She really won't let me get a good look.  I'm expecting her eye teeth to pop out any day now.

Sleeping:  Nightmare.  We put her in the bed awake, but since she shares a room with Haisley, we haven't let her cry it out in the middle of the night. So even though she goes to sleep very easily, she is sometimes up all night.  She still takes one nap a day, IF the other kiddos don't wake her up.  The struggle is real with the third baby!

Eating:  Baby girl loves to eat!  She still gets frozen breastmilk and water.  She loves sausage, shredded cheese, applesauce, chicken, and melon.  Honestly, she is probably our pickiest eater.  It is very hit and miss with her...sometimes she will love something and the next time she turns her nose up to it!

Size:  We go to the doctor tomorrow, so I'll update her stats then, but I think it is safe to say she is between Haisley and Benton in the size department.  She is in size 12 month in most things, size 4 diapers, and size 4 shoes. 

Tricks/Talking:  Camille is not a big talker.  I'm confident that she understands most of what I say, but doesn't say too much. 

This baby loves her dolls.  She snuggles them and says, "ohhwee"

Thanksgiving Feast 2016

We are so very blessed to be at AUMC preschool.  My babies LOVE it!  They had their Thanksgiving Feast the week before Thanksgiving.  They had a feast and sang some precious songs! 

This is Benton getting his hands ready to say the prayer.

Benton dressed in his turkey suit.  So stinking cute!

This angel bug is so precious and sweet.  She loves life!

Halloween Festivities 2016

We had a super busy Halloween this year.  We started by carving our pumpkin, which the kids were totally into this year.  Benton was particularly proud of the Jack-o-lantern that "we" carved.  I use "we" very loosely.  It was more like Mark carving, Benton trying to play with the knife, Camille trying to eat the pumpkin guts, while Haisley was getting her cheerleader suit disgusting.  Fun was had be all.  We went to an All Saints Fair at Cornerstone Church, and we ended with weekend trick-or-treating with the Simpsons.  I have to say, watching Benton trick-or-treat was hilarious.  He rode in a wagon, going from door to door.  He would leave his bucket in the wagon as he leaped out, running to the front door, yelling for Haisley and the Simpson children to wait for him, often times tripping on the grass and falling down.  HILARIOUS.  Aunt Ashley bought him the most precious Avenger costume that he looked adorable in.  Haisley spotted an Arial costume with a red wig and HAD to have it.  We never buy her anything, so we let her win this battle.  The red wig looked absolutely ridiculous, adding to the funny factor.  Sweet Camille wore a Jack-o-lantern outfit that Nana made for Haisley's first Halloween.  We love these sweet babies!!

She's got the cheesy smile down!!

I feel like this is too funny not to post.  She didn't fit in the pumpkin as easily as Haisley did.

Of course, Haisley and Benton had to be involved. 

Shortly after this picture, that pumpkin busted.
