I know. I know. 2013 will be the year of the photograph. Seriously.

Since December is half over, I thought November probably deserved a little attention.

We began November with a visit from Grandma and Bobo for the Marine Corps Birthday Ball.  We had lots of fun!



Doing puzzles with Bobo.


Hee hee!  I got the iPad!


No Bobo, this is how you play.



High five!  Good job Bobo!


Go Pack Go with Grandma


Reading stories


Night night!



Carpet Olympics


Helping Daddy rake leaves






We had our every-other-year Kellerpalooza for Thanksgiving.  Auntie Beth and Uncle Karl not only hosted our family, but also had 8 teenagers/college kids!  The girls had a blast playing with their new best friends, Abby, Jordan, Mikey, Drew-Drew, Zack, Abby, Lexi, and Rachel.  

Some early morning Turkey Day football






He missed her!


The girls also had lots of fun playing with their cousins Emily, Livi and Lily.  Lots of pinkness ensued.

Happy Reforma...er...Halloween!

I'll be the first to admit it...I really don't like Halloween. It seems rather Communistic sending your children around to beg for candy for no other reason than they have a dress-up dress on. Plus then there is a surplus of sugar in my household, and that benefits no one. :) That being said, my children LOVE Halloween. They think it is most excellent that people will give them free candy just for being the cute things that they are...and they are the cutest things around. Daddy said that everybody was just gooing over how adorable they were...not that I'm surprised. Evidence of the adorable-ness...

These first pictures were taken on Friday before and during our church's Fall Festival and Trunk o' Treat.

Diana dressed as Merida, the princess from the new Disney movie "Brave".  Cara was a puppy dog, a recycled costume from her sister, seen here.

Eating at the church before Trunk o' Treat


Cara showed off more puppy moves by licking all the icing off her cupcake.  :)


What?


I love cupcakes!


Diana and her friend Payton, who dressed as a Bears cheerleader, but we won't hold it against her...


Visiting cars...Diana with her friend Ainsley, who also dressed as Merida, but did not need the wig, as she has natural long, red hair!


Trick or treat!


Aftermath


Sad puppy...


...happy puppy!


Getting ready for trick or treating last night in the neighborhood




All set and ready to go!



Our pumpkin this year...Diana's design...


The first house they visited was...ours!


Visiting our neighbors



Look!  Candy!


Yum!


Daddy said that Cara was very polite and was quick to say thank you every time!  Her big sister needed a little reminding...
