November

November seriously just flew by. I can't believe it's already Christmas time! Here are some highlights of our month...

I went to the midnight showing of Breaking Dawn with a bunch of friends and we had so much fun!

I got together with some friends to make this cute Thanksgiving craft

Made these adorable turkeys

Me and Ty made these super yummy turkey sugar cookies.

Yes, all three of these cute ideas came from pinterest! Haha!

Saylor and her buddy Brynlee playing at the turkey bowl on Thanksgiving morning. It was pretty windy and cold but the girls loved running around.

Sadly I didn't get any pictures of actual Thanksgiving dinner but it was seriously delicious! We had dinner with 4 other families and we had SO much food. I made the rolls, sweet potatoes, pretzel jello and my mom's to die for pumpkin cheesecake with butter rum sauce. Everything was amazing and we had enough desserts that everyone could have had their own! This was my first ever Thanksgiving with out family and I thought I'd be sad but it was a party all week long because no one had to study!

On Friday we headed down to St. Louis. I took this picture of the St. Louis temple from our car.

We spent the day at the zoo and the weather was so perfect!!

Oakley hanging out in the stroller...

Saylor and Oakley in their matching Christmas outfits-I've been so excited to put them in these since my aunt gave them to me when Oakley was born. The day after Thanksgiving is officially Christmas season so the girls wore them to the zoo and looked so cute!

With our friends the Andersons and the Sagers

We are so excited for Christmas time and we leave to Utah in a week!! So exciting!!!

A Few More Pics From October...

Here's one last catch-up post with some of the other fun things we did in October...

Oakley started smiling and laughing! Baby smiles are the cutest thing ever!

We went to Nauvoo for Stake Conference. Our building is under construction so they weren't broadcasting it from Kirksville. We stayed in a condo with a few other couples and had so much fun!

Me and my girls

Saylor calls it the Naboo Temple

A few more shots of Saylor in her Aurora dress...this girl knows how to pose!

When I put Oakley in Saylor's old clothes I feel like I have another mini Saylor...so fun!

Pretty much impossible to get a good shot when they are both looking and smiling...

Say loved the Truman Homecoming Parade and she got tons of candy!

Oakley and Ty at the ward hayride activity

More cute pics of my smiley babe!

Saylor, Elliana and Oakley hanging out at the park

Enjoying Missouri's beautiful fall weather

These last pics are from the Children's social at Truman Farms when Saylor got to go on a hayride and pick a pumpkin. She was so excited!

Oakley's Baby Blessing

When we were in Utah back in September we decided to bless Oakley. She wore the same dress Saylor was blessed in and she looked oh so cute...

Oakley Kirstie with her Auntie Kirstie

Even though Oakley is named after Kirstie she sure looks a lot like her Aunt Autumn. We think she has Autumn's nose and lips which are both super cute so we don't mind at all.

With her honorary Aunt Sass

A bunch of cute cousins

Oakley and her Daddy-

I know Ty really wants some boys eventually but he sure is an amazing dad to our little girls! I'm grateful to have a righteous husband to bless our children.

It was so fun to let everyone see Oakley while she was still small. Originally no one was going to get to meet her until Christmas and by then she'll be over 4 months old. There's nothing like a sweet newborn babe and I loved that all our family got to hold and snuggle her.

Oakley is so blessed to have two sets of the best grandparents ever!

Our happy little family of 4!

Grandma Leavitt

My 93-year old Grandma passed away in September.

She was an amazing woman who set such a great example for all of us. She was so full of spunk and energy, even at 93. She was a great storyteller and always so generous. You could never leave her house without her giving you something to take home.

When she was put in the hospital I felt so extremely blessed that we were able to come all the way from Missouri and see her before she died and then attend her funeral.

We'll miss you Grandma Leavitt!
