Christmas Lists 2018

Wellman Family Photos

Since it seems that our family is always growing and changing, we are always trying to get updated photos.  Unfortunately, we were still missing Dalton, but we tried to get some family pictures while we were at Jim's for Thanksgiving on Saturday.

Sarah and I were unplanned twinning!

Thanksgiving 2018

We have so much to be thankful for this year. 

 I'll spare you any boring details, as we did what most people probably did -- ate way, way too much and enjoyed being with family.

Paisley's diet on Thanksgiving day consisted of four dinner rolls.

 They are kind of hard to see, but there are a bunch of turkeys out in the pasture.

Book Worms

I captured this sweet moment between Ollie and Pais while we were in her room packing today.

Oliver has been into books pretty much forever, but Paisley just recently showed an interest.  Her favorite book is a sign language book that has movable parts.  She'll grab it off her shelf daily and find somebody to read it to her.

I love that she is into books.  I'll also admit that I frequently use them to get her to sit and snuggle for a few mintues!

Daddy's Big Helper

It's Beginning to Look a Lot Like Christmas

Typically I am not one to put up Christmas decorations prior to Thanksgiving, but this year we broke from tradition a bit.  We are going to be out of town for Thanksgiving and Thanksgiving weekend and then Riley is going deer hunting the weekend after that.  I didn't want to have to wait until the following weekend so against the wishes of Riley, we got everything put up today.

Christmas jammies and holiday music blaring were a must for this job.

 Outside Christmas lights are not yet up which is one of Riley's most hated jobs.  No word yet on when that will be happening...

Turkey Stuffing

Today the kiddos and I ventured over to the Leonardville Library for some Thanksgiving fun.  They began by reading "There Was An Old Lady Who Swallowed a Turkey" which is part of one of my favorite series.  I love reading these books to my preschoolers!

Each child was able to stuff their own turkey, sort of like Build-a-Bear.  It was adorable and free!

Paisley wasn't too interested in her turkey; she preferred eyeing the little baby nearby.  I'm not sure if she thought he was a doll or what, but she kept going over to him trying to rock him in his car seat.  Although it was sort of sweet, she was a little too rough.  We'll have to work on her mothering skills before baby Atzenweiler arrives (yes, that is right, my sister is pregnant!!).

I see more than two little turkeys in this picture!
