Christmas Programs

 Easton had his first elementary school Christmas program this year.  He was very excited because he got to play the bongos.  As expected, he took this responsibility very seriously.  I know this picture isn't great, but it was the best we could do.  Easton is in the black vest and white shirt.

Jaylee also had a short Christmas program at school.  She has become very good at singing O Christmas Tree and Jingle bells.

Give Thanks 5K

 My mom, my brother, Riley, and I all did a 5k race on Thanksgiving morning.  It was fun to do this together.  Joe finished in 21 minutes, Riley in 24 minutes, my mom in 40 minutes, and me in 30 minutes.

This was the second race that Riley and I have done together.  He has beaten me both times.

Joe finished ahead of my mom, so he ran back and completed the race with her.  That's a good son.

Jaylee Starts Preschool

 There was an opening in the 2 year old class at our preschool.  We decided to sign Jaylee up and she has enjoyed every minute of it!

 Brady was sure to take care of his little sister on her first day.  So sweet!

New Job and a Football Game

 Riley started a new job in September.  He is a marketing manager for a dental company here in town.    So far he is enjoying his new job.

 This is the first time that Riley has had an office all to himself.  He is still deciding how he wants to decorate it.

 Riley's company has a suite at the Purdue Football field.  We were able to go to a game there a few weeks ago.  It was pretty nice watching the game from the suite.

 I always love watching Purdue's marching band.

 They even stopped by for a visit.

This is just another view of the suite.

So Much Hair

So, as I was putting pictures onto the computer this time I thought that I wouldn't have as many hair pictures as usual.  I was wrong!  I think I have even more!  Oh well, someday I will look back at all of my hair pictures and wish that she still lets me fix her hair.

 This is the day 2 hairdo from the picture above it.  She looks cute with her big crimpy hair.

 Knots

 I thought for sure that her knots (pictured above) would be a crazy mess when I took them out. However, they made perfect little ringlets.  I am planning to try the knots again when she has someplace fun to be the next day.  It would be a cute change for her.

 My niece let me fix her hair.  I love it when that happens!  It was definitely different working with long curly hair.  I am used to me and Jaylee's fine straight hair.

Dad's Can Fix Hair Too!

Riley's brother has three little girls and he fixes all of their hair!  I love it when he sends me pictures of his hairdos.  He does a great job!  I will never know if Riley also has his brother's talent because I am so obsessed with fixing Jaylee's hair by myself.  Keep going Tyler!

Gymnastics

Brady has been taking a gymnastics class at a local gym.  He loves it!  It is a great way for him to be able to jump, climb, and just use up all of his extra energy.
