{Phone} November Part 2

Big baby...

Jace is getting really good at the Mario Cart on Jed's old n64.  In this race, he got 2nd place!

The kids were so excited to get out the train!

Thanksgiving Day photo of the girls...

Speaking of girls....

Everything is under control...Colton is feeding Cassidy, Connor is spread out on her couch, and the other two seem to be entrenched in the TV...

Favorite Aunt!  (Yes, that is Cassidy, not Connor.)

Some late Halloween fun...

Don't know where we were headed, but Colton was a big helper!

Loved this adorable "Thanksgiving" outfit.  Too bad it was the only time she wore it...she is growing SO. DANG. FAST.

Connor has started wanting to be helpful, which is so nice!  Until she starts throwing away important stuff.  

Jace and I wore her out shopping...

"Mom, I'm eating under here so Connor won't find me and try to steal my food."

"I LOVE TO VACUUM!"

Someone discovered Cool Whip pumpkin pie this year.

Gotta love this picture.  My sweet, adorable, farm family.  (Also proud supporters of Pioneer and John Deere.  And Old Navy.)

"Hello, Dad?  You're done with harvest?  Yay!"

Invested in a baby gate.  Think we got mixed up on which side of the gate she was supposed to be on.  In fact, I think we were trying it out and she locked herself in that side.  #fail.

Although I'm happy to report that this gate works excellent for the top of the stairs.

This was an evening at the Grables' house...Gracie is the best "babysitter"...

Playing dress-up while I'm trying to get the Christmas tree out...

Oh the faces of Connor.

Happy Thanksgiving!

The Johnson Family:

Jed, Angela, Jace (4 1/2), Connor (14 months)

The Luedke Family:

Derek, Jennifer, Colton (7), Kyler (4 1/2), and Cassidy (364 days.  Her birthday was the day after Thanksgiving.)

Luedke #3 Turns the Big #1

Sweet Cassidy Ann turned 1 the day after Thanksgiving!  (November 28th...)  We celebrated her birthday the weekend before Thanksgiving.

The Luedke bunch and their cousins...

Her "Boos" cousins had to stay preoccupied during the gift opening...with two older siblings she had plenty of other help.

See what I mean? 

Happy Birthday to the little Cupcake!

Of course, Uncle Blaine was busy entertaining Cassidy...

Luedke, party of 5!  Looks like a full house!
