Christmas Tree Lighting and Packing for School

Thanksgiving

Nana, Papa, Mimi, and Gus came to our house yesterday to celebrate Thanksgiving. I didn't get a group shot but I did take some pictures of Gus for Keegan. 

Here's a selfie of Gus and me. He tried to lick my face. I said no thank you. 

Then he walked over and gave Mimi some love.

Then he chilled on the couch with Papa for awhile. He also played on the floor with Vivian for quite awhile while the rest of us ate Thanksgiving dinner. And by played I mean he was laying down while she brought him toys to play with and occasional bits of turkey. He did let him pet her for several minutes. 

Mimi Dress

Vivian thinks this dress looks like something Mimi would wear. She's kind of right.

When I said "say cheese" she did this...

Target!

Yesterday I took Vivian to Target. I generally try to avoid taking her with me because either 1) she has a melt down or 2) we find so many cute things I cannot say no and I buy more than I intended to. Yesterday fell into the second category. We found an adorable Christmas dress (but she says she doesn't want to see Santa this year because she is too shy.) Then we had to get some matching shoes (I wanted black patent, she wanted red glitter… guess what we came home with.) And we got the cutest bath towel.

There is another big Frozen push, they have released a sing-along version and they are gearing up for Christmas so Frozen is everywhere! More than I have seen in the last year combined I think. But they have a little Frozen photo shoot spot and Vivian had to pose, of course. 

Ariel bath towel (she curled her legs up under her and pretended she was sitting on a rock)
