November 2015

Abby knew she looked cute this day and was in such a good mood. We were on our way to the mall in Grandma Vicki's car and she said "I'm so happy"!

This is Kip and Napoleon, I mean Noah and Abby - riding around the neighborhood with Noah's contraption. Abby loved it and I love that Noah likes to entertain her.

Abby and I took a trip to Chandler mall one day (she chose her Minnie Mouse high heels) and for the first time, I kind of let Abby call the shots. Other than the shopping I had to do in Gap, Abby picked everything else. She picked what she wanted for lunch, where she wanted to sit, and what she wanted to do. I let her ride on the quarter-machine rides and she was in HEAVEN! I loved seeing her so happy and realized I need to slow down and do that kind of stuff more often.


 


Abberdeen is the queen deen. She loves to cuddle on mom & dad's bed.

We visited our Veteran grandpas' graves on Veterans Day this year. It was a perfect time to be at the Mesa Cemetery because as we were there, a military plane formation flew overhead in honor of the Vets.


 


Abby had slept over at Grandma & Poppy's house the night before with cousins and was so tired!

After the Mesa Cemetery, we headed over to Riggs's cemetery where we left a plant and had a picnic with Grandma, aunts, and cousins.

Abby has become a little more comfortable in dance class. All semester, they have been practicing their "happiest Christmas tree" dance for their recital, and Abby got her hat to try on this day. haha!!


Notice how high up Abby's skirt was pulled. hahahaha!

 Whenever Ellie gets a hold of Abby, she dresses her in something random and also styles her hair. So funny!

We had the Hess and Westover families come to town for the week of Thanksgiving and Abby was in Heaven with all those cousins being around! Noah was too - the Westovers stayed with us and Noah had so much fun with George. Here are Abby and Otto walking hand in hand at Grandpa's house..


... and Abby trying on Grandpa's hat.

Thanksgiving Day, we had lunch in Grandma Price's backyard. The weather was perfect and Abby really enjoyed her personal-size pumpkin chiffon pie!


Cousins Annie & Abby :)

The day after Thanksgiving, we took a trail ride in the Teryx around Grandpa's property and all around it. It was pretty cold outside but we had a good time.


We also built a little bonfire in our backyard that night and ate dinner, made smores, and tried to play a few games (that didn't quite work out haha)!


Davis really loved his marshmallow!


We did our annual bike ride / football game on Saturday after Thanksgiving. Abby didn't really ride in Ellie's basket! 





We really missed Riggs playing in that football game with us but I have no doubt that he was there with us in spirit that day!
 

Grandma & Poppy played their guessing game with the grandkids where they show their can full of coins and everyone guesses how much is in there. Russ helped Abby guess and whadayaknow, she was the winner! She won somewhere around $55 from Grandma & Poppy. We held out money for her to pay tithing, she is using some to buy her sibling gift exchange present, she got to keep some out to buy herself a toy, and the rest went into her bank account.

That picture above wasn't very cute so we had to take a new one the next day!
