Talk about a busy month! We were extremely busy with Thanksgiving and things have not really slowed down at all since. In fact, they might have picked up speed! Nonetheless, we are having a ball and really looking forward to all of the festivities. Due to the business, this post will be a short picture log. Not much notable has happened this month outside of Thanksgiving. The kids are growing bigger and bigger. Joseph and Emery now share a room and do fantastic! They even nap together. It's working out awesome and we couldn't be happier. We're looking forward to a very busy month in December with tons of fun activities. We'll try to keep you all updated on it all!
Our big girl now sits up so well we figured she didn't need to be in her little baby tub. She had so much fun sitting in the tub. This was her first time. She had a ball.
In honor of Thanksgiving, for the second year now, we make this thankful chain. For a FHE (Family Home Evening - one night picked out to be a family night) we play the thankful game. (Julie created this last year.) We roll a ball between us and say things we're thankful for. We play this sometimes just to play it. (Last year Joseph loved this game and we played it often.) This time Julie wrote down all the thankful things on small pieces of paper and made a chain.
These are pictures of the kid's cloth book Julie has been working on for a while. (We've had a few requests to post these.) The next set of pages is almost finished. Once they are done, we'll post pictures of them too.
These two pictures were taken by Joseph. Julie was inspired by her nephew Cardon's picture taking skills (and parent's patience in letting him do it.) and started letting Joseph take pictures. He loves it! And every now and then he takes some pretty good stuff. He's now figured out how to hold it pretty straight and stand a reasonable distance from what he's taking a picture of.
Yes, Emery is started the crawling process. Although in this particular picture, Julie propped her up. She can now do it all on her own. She's also started pulling herself up on things too, as of today. (shown below)
Well, Thanksgiving was marvelous, and Julie did quite a bit of cooking. She'll be adding all of her recipes to her cooking blog. (Listed on the left under "Made with Love".) So for more details on how that all went, check there in a few days.
Here's a picture of the cutie pie on Thanksgiving at Jared and Anitas. Although her eyes are closed (classic), you can still see her adorable smile and super cute outfit!
Later that weekend we all went bowling as a family (all the Denneys). It was tons of fun. Even Emery got in on the action.
And to bring you all back to the present, here's the Christmas tree (wonderfully hidden by Joseph) which we put up earlier this week. Joseph really enjoyed helping to put the ornaments on, wanting to know what each and every single one was.
So there's the skinny. You're all up to date! Julie is wanting to (despite how busy she is. She's so crazy!) get out a small Christmas type newsletter. But she'll do it after the kid's pictures are taken (in about 2 weeks.) But don't worry, she's emailing it out like last time. It was way too convenient not to do it that way again. Until then, Happy Holidays and Merry Christmas!
