November

I can't get enough of this cutie. She is keeping her dark hair and blue eyes!

Sometimes Clara and Savannah want to go in and play with the baby when she gets up from her nap. If I go in, Caroline will want me to get her up but she's happy to play with the girls. I love hearing their giggles. I had to sneak this picture without the baby seeing me.

 We are finally getting snow around here! The girls want to go outside and play, and are usually happy to just stomp around on the back deck. Caroline and I watch from inside, while they throw snowballs at the window. They get a big kick out of it. The first winter we moved here, we didn't see the ground from Nov-March! I don't think it will be as bad this year.

I was down the hall and heard Clara yelling, "Help! Help!" and laughing uncontrollably. I walked around the corner and saw the baby trying to take her out. It wasn't as really as bad as it looks, but it was pretty hilarious. Gotta love attacking baby girls.

Clara had a week of dressing up in different ways at school, and one day was "dress like a nerd." Well, this is what we came up with.

Did this picture surprise you? Jason's holding her feet, and she is lunging for all she's worth towards Savannah's birthday balloon.

Caroline started sitting up and is always stuffing things into her mouth. We are loving her toothless smile! She still has blue eyes, but we're wondering if they'll turn brown like her sisters'.

Savannah turned three and had her party at Chick-Fil-A, which she loved. (And I loved the no-mess clean up!) She has a tiny Pooh doll that she drags around with her everywhere and is getting grungy. So we thought we could replace it, but ended up ordering the wrong size. Oh well. Now she has a clean, yellow, big Pooh Bear (which she initially named Oklahoma, but has now forgotten) and a small, brown-ish one. She was so excited!

 We made it to DC to the temple, and foudn our way to Larriland Farm, where in the summer you can pick your own raspberries, etc. But in the fall we went to enjoy cider, a hay ride, and beautiful fall weather. The drive out to the farm was incredibly beautiful.

Clara is really becoming a country gal, isn't she?
