A Nebraska Thanksgiving

Our holiday was full of many firsts. It all began with the girls going on their first plane trip. To say they did fantastically is an understatement. They were so excited from the moment we got in the car to head to the airport. Pay loved looking at "her airplane".
Q loved looking out the window of the plane, though she swore we weren't moving when we were above the clouds. I sat behind B and the girls during take off and kick myself for not having a video camera to record their reaction. The lady sitting behind her couldn't stop smiling and laughing watching her reaction.
The reason for our trip was to meet our newest nephew, Baby Caz.
A close second was getting the chance to hang out with MC and Nate.
Pay was in her glory: Caz, TV, and Albert the dog (not in the picture).
Buddies.
Lincoln has an awesome children's museum and since it was way too cold to play outside we crashed this place.
What a handsome fireman.
Our little firewoman.
Cooking me dinner.
B found his true calling, working the combine.
Out little groundhog.
This was the biggest chair I have ever seen. It could have easily fit our whole family.
Brothers don't shake hands, brothers gotta hug!
Stay tuned for more pics from the trip...

Thanksgiving Feast

Q had her Thanksgiving feast at school this week and it was so yummy. To begin the day Pay and I baked some yummy brownies for the class (which actually never actually made it to school due to cutting error on my part). It was a lot of fun because it was Pay's first time helping me bake; she did such a great job.
Enjoying her creation.
Here is "Gentle Heart" at the feast. What a pretty Indian.
What a bunch.
Pay loves being able to participate in her sisters class parties. She did so well!
Gentle Heart, Strong Bull, and Brave Hawk.
"How"
Happy Thanksgiving to all!

G

This week we celebrated G's birthday. This picture tells exactly how the kids feel about him. I love Cole's expression. Happy birthday bro.

Ofically Fall

In my opinion, it isn't officially fall until there are lots of leaves on the ground to play in. It rained earlier this week, but the past couple of days have been so nice in the afternoons. I love taking pictures of my kids in the leaves because I know I can get great smiles out of them.
Let the fun begin!Man (woman) down.
Posing for the camera.
Even Braden got into the action. Unfortunately his favorite thing to do was eat the leaves, so he had to spend most of the time watching the girls.
Belle loved it more than anyone. Check out her facial expression...priceless!
While we were outside two little girls got a hold of my camera. This is what the world looks like to a 2 and a 4 year old. The first pic is Pay's addition to the post.
Here is what Q likes to photograph.
To only be a child again...

This is what happens

when you give a 2 year old a Twix bar in the car. She is such a mess, that's why we love her so!

Princess part 2

Here are some more pics from our Princesses on Ice show this weekend. Before the show they girls were so excited.
Then it turned out like this.
There was some smoke, pyrotechnics, and witches which caused much of the fright. After each scene Pay would say, "Yea, all done Mommy, go to car." They still really enjoyed the show.
We got a few good shots from our camera. Check them out.

Sneek Peak

Today we went to Dinsey Princess on Ice and I have never seen more pink, frills, minivans, and glitter shoes in one place before. Yes, my girls were in heaven. Here are some quick pics from Pop Pos's mac daddy camera.

Nothing tops off a day full of princess better than eating like a king here...
