November Randoms

November has been a fun and busy month.  We have had some down time with a break in sports but we have had no problem filling our schedules with lots of fun!

We had an adult night at the Children's Hospital trivia bowl.  So much fun but I quickly realized I was no help with the trivia!  We may not have won the trivia contest but we had a blast with some of our favorite couples!

The kids had their annual family fun night at school!  Lots of fun seeing all their friends, playing games and conquering the ninja warrior course.  All three blew me away making across the ninja course.  They held on so tight after each jump and pulled themselves up.  So strong and determined!

One of my favorite events of the year is volunteering at the Boys and Girls Club Thanksgiving dinner!  We served over 600 meals.  Such a great event that helps so many families.  And to top it off we got a picture with the NBA MVP Russell Westbrook.  It is always so cool seeing the smiles on the kids faces when they see Russ!

For the second year we took the kids to see Rudolph at the Civic Center.  Perfect way to kick off the holiday season! Such a cute and festive show!

We also made our annual November family trip to the Thunder game!  All three kids had a blast!  I think M might end up liking basketball even more than J.

The kids loved on their Sadie girl . . .

Jackson helped stuff and address our family Christmas cards . . .

Tyler and I kicked off the long list of holiday parties with my department party.  Lots of fun!  Thankful to work with such great people!

We had a super cozy day at home prepping for Thanksgiving!  Love these little ganstas!

The kids anxiously waited for the unveiling of Tyler's Christmas light spectacular on Thanksgiving day night!

 We spent Thanksgiving night on our patio watching Elf while enjoying the backyard lights and fire.  Such a perfect ending to Thanksgiving!  We rarely have a night at home so it was a much needed evening before all the holiday madness begins!

 

We also cheered on our Sooners at the final home game of the season.  Jackson is now an official die hard OU fan!

We ended our Thanksgiving week decorating for Christmas.  The kids loved decorating their playroom tree with all their favorite ornaments.  M is our little Christmas elf and is re-decorating on a daily basis.  He is 100% into Christmas this year and it is too cute to watch!

Last but not least, our Elf Chip made his debut for the holiday season!  The kids were beyond excited for his arrival!  Hopefully we will have a peaceful month with no bickering, constant sharing, perfect listening knowing Chip is reporting to Santa nightly . . . I can dream right!?!?!

 Nightly Christmas jammies are a must!  Love this time of year so much!

It is going to be hard to top our November fun but bring it on December! 

 

School Pics

These three are looking way to big, handsome and beautiful in their school pictures this year!  How do I have two Kindergarteners and an almost preker????  Their smiles are so contagious!

Love Mason's big and handsome brown eyes!  I could stare at those eyes all day long!

 Love Harper's all natural curls!

 And I love Jackson's flashy smile and those super cute dimples!

Happy Halloween

Happy Halloween from the ninja, Owlette and astronaunt (also the racecar driver).  Halloween is one of my favorite holidays in our neighborhood.  Lets be honest, I really LOVE them all.  And this Halloween was no exception.  We kicked off the dressing up with a Monster Dash at Tyler's work, Continental. 

These three love downtown OKC so much and love any opportunity to visit mommy and daddy at work!

 Strike a pose sister!

 The kids loved the "Nemo" themed floor with surfing and all!  It's not everyday you see a ninja, Owlette and racecar driver hitting the waves!

 Extra special getting to spend the afternoon with their cousin Jett!

That evening mom and dad got in on the costume fun and dressed up as the game Operation!

 

 

And finally there was Halloween night!  Mimi dressed up as the kids mystery reader at school that day and stayed in costume to hand out candy.  The kids loved it!

We kicked off Halloween night with a chickfila feast at our neighbors house!  Same tradition but even bigger crew.  Love these families so much and love all the memories we make together.  Cutest kids in town!

 

 

 

 This face says it all!  CANDY!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This was the story of the night for Harper and Maddie.  After each house they sat down to eat a piece of candy! 

Such a fun week of Halloween festivities!!!
