Thanksgiving!!!!

I love this picture of these boys! Under the table happy as can be. SO true to form. The 3 amigos had so much fun together. It's amazing how quickly they grow and become friends!

We love taking pictures of our babies with the turkey. I know this isn't Giselle's first thanksgiving but the turkey weighed 22lbs which is how much Giselle weighs so I thought it would be too funny to put it right up in front of her...hahaha you can barely see that monkey!

Daddy and Giselle are just so sweet to each other. She LOVES when daddy comes home!

Aunt Laura and Aunt Jennifer are wonderful Aunts. Giselle got lots of love and cuddles and any treat she wanted! Just how she likes it!!!

The big feast this year was ONE big table. Jolie was quite upset that ALL the little kids got to eat at the big table...she thought it should be just her. Someday Jolie, someday! All the food was delicious and Mom Fox pulled out all the stops. Thank you for cooking such a bountiful dinner.

After dinner the little guys were super excited for the train to be set up. We have to supervise because too many little hands like to help conduct! Choo Choo!

One night we decided to Fondue. It was so much fun. I was a little nervous that the little kids would just make a big mess. They did great though. They loved tasting all the fruit in the chocolate and having there own stick. I think the adults had just as much fun as the kids but didn't get (too) much chocolate on their face!


Doesn't that look yummy. Who doesn't love Fondue..NO ONE!!!

We love Christmas Jammies. So cute and fun to match. The girls had striped pants and the boys had snowman pants. Nolan was the only one that was not excited for the pj's..that's just because he is in denial of winter. He wants shorts and t-shirts.. we feel your pain buddy!

Lucy and Giselle are quite the cute tag team. They are soo cute to watch and play with. They will be even cuter to watch grow up.

Jillian say's " Give me that turkey leg..it's MINE!!!"

The BIG move!

Jacob standing inside our BIG BROWN tub. ALL the kids can lie down in it at the same time. Too funny, huh?

Our bedroom with the lovely orangish something color carpet. We are renting so we really don't care about that stuff right now.

The family room has the main tv in it now. The kids love it but I have to say they are watching way more tv than they used to. I'm going to have to get better about that. The blinds on the left lead to a big blue deck in our backyard and on the right there is a door to a big mud room.

we just arrived after driving for 2 days and one night of Giselle not sleeping ONE minute..hence the glasses and dazed look on my face. The kids did great on the driving part and were very anxious/excited to see our new house in ILLINOIS!!

A close up of our new house.

another view!

I started decorating for Halloween right away. We love Halloween and it helped me to feel more like home! This is the entry way when you first walk in.

We decided to put the toy room on the main level this time since we don't have a dining room table and the basement has granite floors so BRRRR. Cold. This view is of the Living room on the left and toy room on right.

**********Sorry the pictures are out of order***********

So yes the rumors are true. We moved from Virginia to Illinois. Brett took a job with a firm in Downtown Chicago. We live in a really cute town called Willowbrook. We live minutes from a train stop and Brett can take an express train and be downtown in 22 minutes. Way better than his old commute in Virginia. Life so far here has been good. Change is always hard but we are all trying really hard to enjoy this experience and rely on each other as a family. We have already had a few fun experiences and I will post about those soon too.
