Happy Thanksgiving Fun in the Garage:)

Since we get to spend so much time with our grandparents at home, we decided to spend the holidays with our other grandparents. They just finished redoing their garage. So since it was so nice and pretty, that's where we had our Thanksgiving feast. Sadly because of Black Friday, Mike stayed home so he could be at the store Friday morning and help with chaos. We were sad to leave him behind, but the store needed him more. Maybe next year!
Grandpa got a pinata! Woot woot!
Even Mommy got a turn!
Awe... they would be so cute with a little girl.
Me and Kiki woke up bright and early and did some Black Friday shopping! Wahoo! So much fun with my baby sister. And best of all, Grandma was willing to stay home and be with my munchkins. Thank you so much! Anna and Cory met up with us a bit later. I think I only like Black Friday as long as I'm with my sisters. Bring it on next year girls!

We took off after a little nap I got in. The ride home was NOT my favorite, but we made it safe!

Our Big Girl, Happy Birthday!

The many faces of the Michael Goodman Clan:)
We all decided to go out to Far West one more time before G & G sold it. We had a lot of fun roasting marshmallows and all kinds of yummy foods over the fire and sitting around hanging out. I love family time. Mike even made it to this one! It was our family, Steve and Kim's, Morgan and Annie's, and Grandma and Grandpa Goodman. Mike and I wanted to stay after about an hour and half longer just the two of us (with the munchkins sleeping in the truck) chatting and trying to keep warm. What a wonderful time with just me and my sweetie. I sure do love him:)
Our girl is getting so big! She is almost walking all by herself.
Grandpa, Kim and Harlee
Annie, Jaron and Tragon
Quoi, Logan and Lincoln having a blast out by the tire swing. They were in heaven out there in the dark woods. Love it! We need to do something like this more often.
Back home at Grandma's making all kinds of forts and having a great time just being kids:)
This girl is hilarious with a book! She loves to have books and look at the pages all my herself, but she gets so angry and throws the book down when I come to read it to her and read the words in it. Every single time. I don't think I've ever made it through an entire book reading it to her. She is awesome and Miss Independent.
Her beautiful birthday dress from Grandma Phister. She is so dang cute in it. Thank you Grandma Deanna!!
Jaron in his Sunday best giving a cheeser:)
Our pretty girl. I can't believe how fast she has grown! She is not my baby anymore, even though I still call her "Baby." She might be our last, so I need to cherish her as much as I can.
She has CURLY HAIR! I'm in love! She's our first child to have a bit of a wave. I'm excited to do her hair when it gets a tiny bit longer!
Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you! Happy birthday Dear Aurora, happy birthday to you!
Grandma Goodman insisted that we give Auri a birthday party with all the family. So the Sunday following her birthday, everyone came over to Grandma's and we sang to her. 

I love you so much my big one year old. You are so special and we are so happy you are in our family:)
Quoi loved the birthday cake too!
The twin cousins!
Her awesome birthday gift from Grandma Goodman. She loves her puppy and dances to it's cute little music. I'm surprised how good it keeps her entertained, that is very hard to do. Thank you Grandma Susan!
