Finishing Up for November and Starting December!

I will start by completing my list of things I am thankful for.....
9.   My ears to hear the sweet giggles of my girls.
10. My eyes to watch them and everyone else around me grow and morph in to someone older and wiser.
11. My nose to smell the wonderful Thanksgiving food!
12. My mouth (sometimes) when I am able to communicate what I want to say :)
13. My legs to walk and run
14. My hands to touch and feel all that is around me
15. Little Witt in my belly teaching me patience every day!  Hopefully that won't continue when he arrives! HA!
16. My house for not selling as of yet.  (Strange, but I know it is for a bigger and better reason)
17. Being financially stable enough to afford help with a few things in life, because without the help I would sure be overwhelmed. (examples: yard man, dishwasher, washing machine, dryer, pest control, you know the important things)
18. My yard man because he looks out for snakes and killed one and didn't let it bite one of us
19. My inability to say no to committing myself to things.  Sometimes I over commit, but I definitely don't miss out!
20. Dinner at my mom's more than once a week.  (You just have no idea!)
21. My trip to Gatlinburg with Zach's Family for Thanksgiving.  It will be so fun for the girls and Zach and I to spend a few days with them!
22. Being fortunate enough that our families are close enough in proximity to share the holidays with both!
23. Our puppies.  They spent a week in the kennel while we went on vacation. Since our family has continued to expand we have really neglected them and they were once all we had! :)
24. Thanksgiving Day...eating with family, traveling and long conversations with loved ones.

The last few days of November consisted of unpacking from our trip to Gatlinburg and traveling to Auburn for the Iron Bowl.  It did not work out in our favor but I do love the Iron Bowl.  The anticipation of the event is never disappointing, however only less exciting when we lose.

The first two weeks of December have been crazy! I love all the Christmas parties, but I do wish we could spread them out over a couple months instead of having 3 per week!  It is a little overwhelming.  I have NOT completed my Christmas shopping yet and Christmas is next weekend.  Ahhhh, the joys of Christmas :)  I do love this time of year though, even though we are super busy. I love shopping and get super carried away at this time of year.  I really love shopping for the little ones.  Even if they don't like their gift it is so fun to picture their little faces in your mind getting excited as they open a present :) Daley had her Christmas program at her school.  She was a Bethlehem Traveler and it was a wonderful performance by all! We have been traveling a lot lately so unfortunately we have not been to church in a couple of  weeks. I hate that, as this is truly what the season is all about.  We will get there though! 

I am constantly getting larger!  According to Baby Center Witt now weighs about 2 pounds and measures 14 inches (an English hothouse cucumber????) from head to heel. He is kicking kicking kicking!  A very active little boy.  I don't think I have felt this much movement in the past two pregnancies and I hope this is not a sign of his activity level post birth :)

I have attached a few pics of the girls below!  (Won't be referring to our children as "the girls" much longer.  How exciting!)
