Thanksgiving and Other Updates

This year we went to Thanksgiving at my Nana's house. We had lots of fun playing on the golf course and watching Rilyn dance with a singing bear.
The next day we had a picnic with Cody's family. While there, Shelley, Brooke and I decided to take the girls to get their ears pierced so after the picnic we headed off to the mall. Rilyn did so good. She only cried for a minute and was fine once they gave her a sucker. That night Rilyn and I went to the ASU game with my mom and dad because Cody had gone to the Dunes with his brothers.
Then, the next day we went to Lauryn's birthday party and Rilyn had so much fun playing with her cousins. She really loved giving the babies love. She LOVES babies. Its so funny. Its only just recently too. Ever since Preslie was born she has just loved babies. Any chance she gets shes kissing them and hugging them and just starring at them. Its so sweet. (And NO this does not mean it is time for another one, just in case someone was thinking that)
Rilyn has also recently started driving. Thats right my kid drives. We got her a hand me down power wheel jeep from some family friends and fixed it up a little for her. She LOVES to drive it. She doesn't quite get the steering thing so we just make her drive in a big circle and she will go for hours. She really likes to have Lola in the car with her. Lolas not to sure about it though. Rilyn also moved into a "big girl" bed. I can't believe it! My baby is growing up so fast!! I am very proud of her bedding because I made it myself. Just call me suzy homemaker!! We also went to go see Santa. Unfortunately, Rilyn was NOT into it at all. Poor Santa tried so hard too. He even sang to her and took so much time trying to make her not scared. It was so sweet. But we lost. She screamed and ran away. I guess that will be our Santa Memory of this year. Maybe next year will be better.
Saturday we spent cheering on ASU. Rilyn has one of those foam fingers and she puts her whole arm in the hole and runs around going A S U! (It kinda sounds like ah esss eww).
Last night we went to Cody's brother Frankie's house for our 2nd annual Gingerbread House Contest. The kids got really creative and this year Rilyn made one. Well ok, I made one and Rilyn suck some half eaten candy on it. She was so funny. This was Breinholt Lane after all of the houses were made.

And if all of those cute pictures don't have to smiling watch the baby dance!
