What has the Givens Gaggle been up to this past Fall you ask? Well let's do a not-so-brief overview...
The weather in California is pretty awesome, so we spent a day on the coast at the Beach!
Hailey's pretty much non-stop talking these days. Here's her ABC song... we've got a little work to do on the ending ;-)
If she fits, she sits.
First Bath Together!
Big Girl Bath
Speaking of firsts...
Harper's First BACON!
But don't let her cuteness fool you...
Trouble with a capital T...
Visiting with Grandpa
Party. Animal.
It's too bad Harper doesn't like Hailey very much...
We also did our annual pumpkin patch trip, this time down at Spina Farms... In amazing California October weather...
And found some time to catch up and hang with Cousin Trent. I need to get more pictures of these kids together because I have a feeling they're going to grow up real soon...
Candid Monthly photo shoot... 9 Months Old here
And Halloween. This year Harper and I went as Hillary Clinton and Secret Service. We were a hit.
Daddy & Hailey went as Little Red Riding Hood and Big Bad
We even caught up with the Rohbach kiddos, Jack (Charlie) and Sally (Kendall)
Although Halloween costumes aside, I don't think I'll ever get tired of seeing the girls in matching outfits...
OR adorable cuddle sessions with Daddy
And of course, Underwear Astronaut Hailey. Dream Big Kiddo.
Here's Harper discovering the phone's selfie-mode
And some random Dinner conversations...
Hailey singing...
And car giggles... this never gets old...
We needed a little cheering up after the election results this year, so we headed to Chuckie Cheese for a night. Hard not to smile at that place!
And believe it or not, Mama got a MUCH needed weekend getaway trip with the girls for Sarah's Bachelorette in Scottsdale. This was my first ever time away from either kiddo for more than a couple days - three nights away! We had a BLAST celebrating the bride-to-be
STUNNING!
As you can tell, it was awful. hehe..
Coming home was, however pretty great too.
Fort Building
Impressed
Teach 'em young!
This year we hosted Thanksgiving for the first time. We did kind of cheat, by ordering the main food ahead of time, but hey, it's a start!
Harper & Jackson
Getting our Grub on!
The boys Carving the Turkey (Jeff for real, Joey for show)
Also, Grandpa Brian had a BIG retirement party that the girls got to attend. Hard to believe he's really retiring, but we are SO SO proud of his accomplishments and beyond excited that he finally gets to relax and enjoy a much deserved retirement.
