Picture time!!

Wanted to share Micah's school photos with you all. He is growing up so fast and now is a little man. Here's the story with his outfit. Micah was waiting for his new jean jacket to arrive from his Grandmere and so we picked out a cute shirt for picture day and it was a little chilly out. He wore his 3T jean jacket and I didn't even think to tell him to make sure and take it off before your pictures. So anyways... it's not a huge deal but the pics can show you how much he grew from last year because the sleeves are way shorter than they should be!!

Isn't he a doll? It just took me by surprise when I got the photos because I wasn't expecting the jacket to be on !! Thankfully he is still adorable.

Lots of photos to share with ya'll since the last post:

We went to North Park mall and saw the Trains. Noelle actually really enjoyed looking at all of them.

Look at the arm pose on this one!!

 I tried really hard to get a cute photo to use in the Christmas cards this year...but you know life happens.

We need to work on the squinch smile Noelle has going on. She's so cute though and definitely knows what "cheese" means. 

Dad reading to the kids "The Night Before Christmas" on Thanksgiving night.

 Our new tradition (2nd year) to make pizzas on Thanksgiving Day

The Dye's came to visit us on Friday night and it was so nice to finally see Lily and the kids play together.

Here's me as the mystery reader in Micah's class.

I finally got my hair cut on Saturday and it was so smooth and shiny!! Noelle liked it too!

After Saturday Noelle got really sick and was out of commission for almost 4 days. So Thursday (yesterday) we finally were able to get out and enjoy a day. We went to a burger place that has a kids play ground and everyone had a great day. I especially enjoyed eating a beefy burger and sweet potato fries!! I don't do it very often, but when I do I get it all!!

I thought I would share this healthy beef bowl I made this week. Micah actually enjoyed it and I did too. Craig said it was pretty good. I love ginger so I think that's why I enjoyed it!

Love you all and enjoy the weekend! It's DECEMBER tomorrow!!!~

KARATE

Micah and I had a date night on Friday to see the Grinch. It was really cute and I loved how well he does in movies. This was the first time taking him just me. We had shakes and enjoyed our time together. 

 Noelle loves her story time at the library  and her favorite part is the bubbles. I mean who doesn't love bubbles??

 We went to the outlet mall to get some shoes and some long sleeve stuff for the kids. Noelle wanted to hold all the bags. I don't know what it is right now, but she loves to hold bags and even when she can't hold anymore she grabs another.

Micah tried Martial Arts this week and really enjoyed it. His friends were a little nervous to join, but he jumped right in from the beginning. He is the best at listening and obeying to the rules. He does a good job of respecting his teachers and I always get so proud. The bad part was Noelle wanted to do it with him so bad that she had a fit the whole time and I had to take her across the street. It was really sad how bad she wanted to be with brother. And when she did run in there she listened better than some of the 3 year olds. Now the problem is only one of us can take him to the class and one stays home with her. Not sure if it's going to happen or not.

On Fridays Noelle and I go to Kolache Factory and get yummies. Then we go to story time at the library where she loves the bubbles. It's a fun day for us to be together!!

Went to a fun Christmas tree lighting last night. We got to make crafts, hear caroling and see Anna and Elsa from Frozen. 

We are definitely getting into the Christmas spirit over here!! listening to Christmas music in the car and getting ready for Nana and Papa to visit then off to Chicago for Christmas!! Can't wait.

Love you all!!
