First Snowfall

I've been anxiously waiting for a good snow storm because I found the cutest little snow suit for Duke (and it was 50% off too, which makes it that much better). We had a little snow day with my nieces at my parents house and went sledding down their hill. Although he wasn't a fan of being in the snow, he enjoyed it a little bit more once he figured out he could eat it.  Nothing like a snow day with the fam to bring in the Christmas spirit. Now just crossing my fingers it snows on Christmas day!

Duke's 1st time sledding (ps thanks to my fast skills, the garbage can didn't land on him ;)

Dukes 1st Haircut

Before I had Duke, I always thought it was funny how people would get emotional about their baby's first haircut... I mean, after all, it is just hair. Well, today I was one of those mama's. 

Lately, Duke's hair has been coming in super fast. His curly mullet and wings were starting to get out of control. I've been going back and forth on whether we should cut it or not, because we get so many comments from people by how much hair he has, but we decided it was time to clean it up.

Cookie Cutters salon in Orem is seriously the best place for kid haircuts. They have little cars to sit in and TVs at every station. Not only that, our stylist was so awesome. I can't even imagine cutting someone's hair, let alone a wiggly baby. He had a lot of distractions so he actually did better than we thought he would (+ there was a screaming 5 year old next to him so it made him seem even that much better). As soon as she pulled out the blow dryer, he was so ready to be done. It was actually pretty funny. We are so happy with how his hair turned out. It's crazy how a little haircut can make someone look so much older!

December 1st

Hello December! We welcomed the new month by putting up all of our Christmas decorations. Our house is slowly coming together and I'm loving it! We put up all the decor when Duke was asleep, because we wanted to surprise him with it, but honestly, he couldn't care less about the it haha! I for sure thought he would be pulling everything off the tree and we would have to move it to somewhere where he couldn't get to it, but we haven't had any problems. I will occasionally catch him taking off an ornament and playing with it, but other than that, he's been so good with it. We have just moved most of the ornaments from the bottom part of the tree so he can't grab them. 

I will never get over those rolls. They kill me!

We had a DeVore's girls day, which consisted of shopping, and lots of it. I about died when I saw this hat at H&M that matched Duke's Christmas sweater perfectly! If it weren't $15 I would've bought it. I am just too cheap.

Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving is one of my favorite holidays (pretty sure I say that about every one...), but really, food, family, and more food?! It doesn't get much better than that. 

It was my mom's birthday on the 24th, so we all went up to Thanksgiving Point to celebrate, and let all the kids run loose. 14 grandkids in one house is a lot! But SO fun! I love all the chaos.

Duke & Piper are 6 days apart and are the cutest little cousins! They were connected at the hip the whole week!

Thanksgiving Day, we went up to my Grandpa Weitzeil's house in Mountain Green for lunch. We definitely over ate, and enojyed being with all of my cousins.

 Chad has been in this baking kick, and I'm loving it! We made this sweet potato pie together, which was amazing, and then he made an apple pie, all from scratch I must add, and took it to the DeVore's with us Thanksgiving night when we went over there for our second Thanksgiving meal. I probably gained 5 pounds in one day, but I don't even care, it was worth it ;)

There is so much I have to be thankful for this year, but these two^^ are definitely at the top of my list. They are my everything and I feel so blessed to have them for eternity!
