Assorted November Pictures and Thanksgiving

 

Yes, I did take a picture of the wall Aaron colored.  Third child, first crayon on the wall.

 

Aaron wasn't so happy I scolded him and then tried to make him stand by the wall to take a picture of him with his masterpiece.

Aaron was a very tired boy after Grandma and Uncle Josh visited.  This is lunch, just a few hours after they left.

We had a "Girls Afternoon" and went shopping for Christmas presents.  The 11 Chase cousins do a gift exchange, and it was extra fun this year for the girls to pick things out themselves.  They also helped me wrap the presents.

Aaron looks like such a big boy after his first buzz.  Nothing too short, but still a pretty dramatic difference.

Thanks Grandma and Auntie Jessi for the fashionable Thanksgiving outfits!

Aaron got a shirt too.  Happy Thanksgiving!

It's tough to get all those cousins together and behaving for a picture.  I think this was the silly picture, though it's pretty close to what all the "nice" pictures looked like.  Cousin Peyton had already escaped by the time we did this one, just as Aaron had managed to slip away at the beginning and nobody noticed for several shots!
