Pierce's 5th Grade did a Thanksgiving feast and they were each assigned to a family and had to wear a costume and bring something for the meal. He was pretty happy to be an Indian and I was very happy for an easy paper bag costume that satisfied him.
While we were snapping a picture of the Indian, we had to get one of Madi out in front of our fall leaves. We don't get a lot of them, but these colors were so beautiful I was really loving them! I only wish they would last longer.
My girl still loves her Hello Kitty hat. She wore it to school every day for about 6 weeks.
Oh and we couldn't forget Madi's Halloween pumpkins. She had really enjoyed making these for a Halloween decoration, she was disappointed I said we couldn't keep them so I promised her we'd take a picture before we took them down. She is so funny, she loves to "craft" things and does not want anyone's help, just loves to do what she thinks of with what she's got. I surely enjoyed these little pumpkins smiling at me everyday.
This boy is growing up way too fast and is so funny, he really keeps us laughing! I wanted to buy him a new pair of warm pajamas when the weather was getting colder, I was at Costco, with him in the cart, looking at my favorite Carter's footie pajamas and I asked him if he liked the snowman ones. He said to me, "I don't want snowmans! I want Pider-mans!" And pointed directly across from the table of Carters things I was looking at to the Super Hero pajamas he had spotted! What? I could not believe he was telling me what he wanted to wear already! I bought him the pajamas and he very nearly did not take them off for over a month. He wanted to wear them day and night. I would try to convince him to get dressed in the morning so we could keep Spiderman clean for night night, but he wouldn't have it. He would wear them for about 3 days straight and then I would finally convince him to let me wash them. He would be completely aware of when they were in the washer and dryer and one day he even went and pulled them out of the dryer and already had the pants back on before I even saw him. He would always insist on putting the pants on by himself and then let me help him with the top and always say "fix the tag", to make sure I tucked the tag down. He was pretty much either in these pajamas or "maked" every day for weeks. He loves to be "maked", more on that later. I am so completely in love with the fun, adorable stage that he is in. He is stubborn as can be, but makes me laugh everyday, I really wish I could keep him 2 for a long, long time.
Thanksgiving
Thanksgiving was great this year! It was our big Robison year and the kids were so excited to see all their cousins, every one was here but Steve and Katie (Uncle Steve is in Dental School in Chicago). It has become tradition to have dinner at our church since we are such a big crowd, and it works out great! I made my traditional yummy rolls (Thanks to Aunt Val for sharing her recipe with me, it's our family favorite now) and my to-die-for Pumpkin Pie Cheesecake. Just thinking about it now makes me excited for next Thanksgiving. Ryan was on potato duty this year and well, it was a fantastic feast for sure! I didn't take many pictures, but here are a few favorites... 
Madi was excited to wear her "Thanksgiving sweater" (she wore this on Thanksgiving before and since then it has been her Thanksgiving sweater) and I was glad she could still wear it! She was also very excited to wear her Turkey hat that she had made at school. She was so proud of it and wore it all night.
The rest of the weekend was busy and fun filled with cousins! I had photo shoots on Friday and Saturday (this was my busiest week ever with a shoot on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Friday and Saturday! Wow, it was busy but awesome!) and the kids were lucky to go with Grandma and cousins to see the movie Frozen. We all met at the temple Friday night to see the Christmas lights and then had leftovers for dinner at Crystal's. Love Thanksgiving leftovers, love the Temple, love our family.
Great month, great Holiday, great family! I am so grateful for all that we are so blessed to enjoy and to be a part of such a strong and loving family. I married good.
