Always Thankful for Family

A while ago I took my niece Livy to her grandparents cottage, and while we were there I thought it would be a good idea to take some Thanksgiving themed pictures because I wasn't sure I would see her for the holiday. And because I am all about cheesiness I made sure we had matching outfits. I will not even begin to describe the amount of shapewear I had to wear underneath to get this dress to fit. What can I say the only matching outfits I could find were in the kids department. Once I was trussed up and dressed like a turkey we headed outside to take some pictures. I got the camera all set up on the tripod and angled as best I could. I then scooped Livy up in to my arms and told her to say cheese. It seems the little trickster didn't like my smile and helped "fix" it.

She is just a laugh a minute I tell ya. I thought it would be good for Livy to write down what she was thankful for on an easel I found in the shed. I handed her a piece of chalk and got to setting up the camera for another picture. When I first walked over after adjusting the camera I saw she was thankful for candy. I asked her if there was anything else she was thankful for, knowing there was only one answer I was looking for. She listed a few other things before landing on the one I wanted to see. It's nice to know where family ranks on the list!

Sisterly love or something

I had the girls over to visit this weekend and they were upstairs playing in their castle making paper chains. What can I say it's an inexpensive activity and makes for some cute decorations. Sure call it child labor if you want to, but I paid them in cupcakes. At least I thought I did. I sent Livy upstairs with a cupcake for her and her sister, and this is what I caught her doing while her sister waited!

That little stinker licked both cupcakes! She knew her sister would never want to eat a licked cupcake. She learned all about germs at school and never wanted to get her icky little sister's germs. I took her downstairs for her own lick free cupcakes and she went back upstairs to play after she was all done. A little later I went upstairs because it got a bit too quiet. Anyone who has ever been around kids knows quiet equals trouble.

I guess she was trying to exact her revenge. You can see Livy is just so upset by this whole thing. She knows I would never let her sister give her away, and that her mom would be there soon to get her anyway. I think I need a vacation after a weekend with those two!
