Thanksgiving 09

Just some random pictures from Thanksgiving. We had fun and I even got to spend the day with my sister who came up with a friend from Tucson. Bryn had fun playing and throwing oranges like they were balls. Good times. I also cut 3 inches off my hair and I love it. I am just not a fan of long hair. So I am going to keep it short this time because I just hate it once it touches my shoulders. I'll post pictures sometime later. Hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving!

Naptime

Bryn has not been napping well and I have finally just given up and she doesn't take a nap anymore. But today we went to go meet some friends to take some pictures and she has a cold. She conked in the car and it was so sweet, her hands were up by her face so I had to snap a picture. We also found the coolest abandoned area for pictures. It has been used for paintball but has a lot of old boxes and just some fun backgrounds. Ask me if you want to know where it is. And in the car on the way home I asked Bryn what color the car next to us was because she knows her colors now and she looked at me and said, "nooo, come on." It was so hilarious!! But we got some really cute family Christmas pictures and I am excited.

Hey everyone, sorry it has been so long since my last post. Things always just get crazy. Thanksgiving is next week (already!!) and then Christmas not too long after that. I am excited for both. But don't expect any pictures with Bryn on Santa's lap this year because I was at the mall on Monday and Santa is already there. We went up to him because no one else was there and I wanted to see what she would do. She would not go anywhere near him and when I picked her up she was gripping me as hard as she could with both arms and legs. It was hilarious. So we have been telling her that Santa is nice and brings toys and we'll see if that helps at all the next time we see him. And this picture is of Bryn wearing my mom's fuzzy pink slippers this last weekend. She is already such a girly girl!! Love it!

Halloween

This year Halloween was so fun because Bryn actually understood a little better what was going on. I got her a Rennaissance princessy dress and it looked so cute! Here is one of the first pictures I took. She is saying "cheese".
This is her smiling, but it is a little blurry.

And then later that night (Friday) we went to our ward trunk or treat and had fun. This is Bryn sitting in the trunk. She fit perfectly and her head doesn't even hit the roof. She sat in there and ate her sucker until Justin was able to get there after work and take her around to all the trunks.

Then on Saturday we finally carved our pumpkin. Bryn took one look at the pumpkin and inside and wanted nothing to do with it but we finally convinced her to stick her arm in and then she had fun.

This is our finished pumpkin. Justin broke one of the teeth while carving and so we had a hillbilly pumpkin with a broken fang.

We didn't have many trick or treaters this year and the ones who did come were older kids. But we still sat outside and gave them candy anyways. Bryn went to some houses with Grandma and Grandpa Pollard and had fun. She got lots of candy for mom to eat! She would go up to the houses and say "knock knock" as she knocked and she wouldn't go up to a few houses because they were too "scary". It was a fun holiday!
