Birthday/Haircuts/Thanksgiving All in One

I'm a little behind on my blogging....so let's play catch-up.

First, Caitlin had a great birthday with both sets of grandparents here for cake and ice cream. She got this awesome princess scooter and helmet. Oh so cute! She had a Sleeping Beauty birthday cake, not her first pick. She wanted a Hanna Montana birthday, I thought she was a little to young though so she settled for Sleeping Beauty. She is still asking me if it's her birthday and wants to have another party with her friends. She is so fun to have around, even when she throws a snow globe on the kitchen floor and breaks it or writes all over the kitchen chairs with lipstick (those are just a few of the things she's done TODAY!). We still love her!

Then there were the haircuts. The other day Quincee wanted me to straighten her hair, which turned out very cute. Well then Caitlin wanted hers straight, not so cute. So I took them to my friend Crystal to get their hair cut. Cait had never had hers cut, so she was so excited. Quincee was pretty proud of her hair when she had to stand up to get it cut because it is so long. They got it washed, cut and got their nails painted. Thanks Crystal for doing such a good job and for letting us take up so much of your time. You're the best!

Before....

....after. She wouldn't let Crystal dry it, so this is as good as it got.

Now on to Thanksgiving. Let's go back to last year...we had Thanksgiving at my mom's house and just as we were all sitting down at the table, Quincee threw up everywhere. Yummy, I know. Well she wanted nothing to do with Thanksgiving this year. We finally convinced her that she was not going to get sick agian. So we went to Brian's parents this year. Aaron wasn't feeling the best the day before and the morning of Thanksgiving Brian's mom got really sick. So sick that she missed out on all the turkey and potatoes. So sad! Well that night who else got sick??? Quincee. Yep, second year in a row. As she was throwing up she looked up at Brian and said "Dad I just don't think Thanksgivings for me." She's so funny! Well we think she might have a reaction to the flu shot, since she got it the day before both years. Not next year though. By the weekend everyone felt pretty good. It was a fun Thanksgiving, even with all the sickness.

Brian likes to supervise, making sure it's cut just right!

Quincee, Caitlin and Tucker enjoying the food. It looks like Caitlin is eating that huge thing of potatoes! Maybe she really was!

The girls got their first shooting lesson. Thanks uncle Geoff!

And we finally got to see Santa. Santa wasn't paying attention, but the girls look cute. Quincee told him she wants a DS for Christmas and Caitlin wants a broom...no not to help mom sweep but to ride on because she is a witch! ha, ha!
