We are ready for Christmas!

HAPPY THANKSGIVING, new doggies and Christmas decorations

This Banick family had a great Thanksgiving! We got to eat 3 Thanksgiving meals and see both our families. YUM! My twin, Clint even came home for the first time in a LONG time and he brought his girlfriend. I didn't get many pictures because my batteries died.

My parents got a new dog, Max before Thanksgiving. He is a cutie and so sweet!  He loves to play fetch and does it for a LONG time.

And my little brother, Matt also recently got a new puppy, Kameron (or Kam for short). He is also a cutie!!

Tonight, Bryce and I put up the tree and the Christmas decorations.  She loves it all!  Her face was lit up the whole time!  She did an awesome job of putting the ornaments on the tree WITHOUT my help.  She is so excited for Christmas and to celebrate Jesus' birthday!

Currently, I'm:

Listening-to Bryce tell a story about an ant biting her nose. :)

Loving-Bryce and her crazy stories and the Fall weather!

Thinking-about all the stuff I need to get at Michael's and Hobby Lobby to make all the Fall/Christmas crafts for Bryce and I to make soon.

Wanting- a housekeeper so I don't have to clean the house today! :)

Needing-to go start the laundry before it gets too late to finish it!

Have a great Saturday!

Bryce's first time Trick or Treating

Bryce was so excited to go trick or treating!  She ran around like a crazy kid until it was time to go!  (This could have also been because she didn't take a nap that day too.  Thanks Kimmy!)  We stopped by WBC to pick up Kyle and eat some pizza.  Next, we had to swing by church and show off Bryce's costume to Grandpa Banick and then we headed to my parents' to do some trick or treating.  We just went to maybe 8 houses since we started so late and she LOVED it.  All of it, BUT the spider near the spider web!  The owners of the house asked her if she wanted to "wake" the spider or let him sleep and she answered with a very quiet, scared "Let him sleep." :)  It was a fun Halloween night!

Random Thursday Thoughts

*I'm starting to disline Facebook, but I love Pinterest!

*What is going on with my children lately (school and home children!)??  I know Halloween just happened, but shouldn't we be back to normal already!

*I love Bryce more and more each day (if that is even possible!) She does the cutest, funniest things and she keeps a smile on my face!

*I heard today that Christmas is only 8 weeks away,,,AHHH!!

Well, it's time to go do some dishes and laundry (Even though I should be going to bed!),,,

I hope everyone as a WONDERFUL FRIDAY!
