A Great Gluten Free Thanksgiving

The table is all set for the Thanksgiving feast and we are ready to eat! The problem is that when the kids are eating we have to cater to their needs. Oh well, we still had a great Thanksgiving.









We moved all the food to the serving table and then Tulie followed it over and would only eat at that table. She wanted to be close to seconds I guess. Logan made his delicious orange rolls and rainbow jello. We couldn't get Landon to eat anything, but the jello which he loved. Oliver was the same and really loved the jello. While Tulie loved her gluten free orange rolls and couldn't get enough of them. We have enjoyed our Thanksgivings here, but hopefully next year we'll be able to get together with even more family.









Our little Kian enjoying his first Thanksgiving. Look at him so intent on his hand. He's so adorable and such a good baby.









Mindy, as always taking pictures. She took some great pictures of our family and little Kian while she was here. It's nice to have some professional pictures and it made our Christmas cards look great!












Having fun at the park even though it was cold. Landon absolutely adores Oliver and followed him everywhere the whole time they were here. Landon was sad when they left. He came home from church and went straight downstairs to where they had been staying and looked around. For the next few days he kept looking around for them and saying Tulie and Oliver.






















What would Thanksgiving be without a fire and some smores? And marshmallow smeared all over the face! We have a little fire pit that we never seem to use except when we have family, but we sure have fun hanging out outside around the fire.

My Boys

Bath time with daddy is so fun, especially with two little ones in the tub now. Daddy enjoys spending time with his boys. Kian is so relaxed he even falls asleep bathing. Landon loves the tub tub, but he loves the camera even more. He is trying to get the camera from me in the picture below.

Landon does love to try out all Kian's swag, actually they are all his old things he just doesn't remember it. Here he is in the bouncer, but he has also tried out he swing, the bassinet, and the pacifier! He will share with Kian though. He can't understand why he won't play with his truck when it's given to him.

First Week Home With Two

Don't we all look a little tired? I guess our new little family is exhausting!

Baby's can sleep anywhere can't they? Except Kian always wakes up when I put him in his bassinet. Go figure.

Grandma and Landon spent a lot of quality time racing cars. Landon loves cars as anyone who has seen him recently knows. He hoards them and carries them all around! Around the nursery, the playground, the house. He is so funny about it. The funniest is that his favorite cars are a truck he found at Sierra and Megan's house that they let him keep and a car of Oliver's that they let him keep. So I guess I don't need to buy him anymore as he keeps acquiring more all by his cute self.

I had heard of this idea of getting a disposable camera for the older brother to take pictures with so they don't feel left out when we are taking pictures of the baby. Landon loved it so much he just kept taking pictures until they were all quickly gone and now he wants to take pictures with our camera every time we get it out. At least we know what we are getting him for Christmas now!

My boys, aren't they all adorable together. I love having boys they are so sweet and energetic. Sometimes a little too much energy.

My two little boys, aren't they so adorable together. Landon has done really well with Kian, a little jealous at first, but he also loves him a lot. Sometimes he loves him too much, he have to harness all that love and attention.

Now that is a real MAN! He can take care of the baby and make breakfast. I knew I made a good decision when I married him. I love my hardworking, smart, dedicated, amazing man.

On Saturday when Grandma was here we had beautiful weather especially for November so we just had to get out and enjoy it. So we headed to Bernheim for some hiking and relaxing. Landon loved all the leaves and just kept sticking his feet deep in them and saying I'm sinking. I have no idea where he learned that from, but it was so funny.
We went up to the top of a tower to enjoy the view of the surrounding area and it was beautiful. The leaves were a couple of weeks past their prime, but it was still a great view (shown below). Landon must do everything we do so he's trying out the binoculars.
We finally got some pictures with Grandma on the day she left.
