People Watcher

I come from a line of people watchers - My Mom is a people watcher - my sister Terri is a people watcher. I am a people watcher. I love to watch people and often find myself staring at people. This morning on my way home from dropping off my beautiful girls at school I saw the boy. This boy is the same boy that I have seen everyday this school year . I see him before school and after school . This boy looks to be high school age or maybe barely out of high school. Every day I see him walking with two little girls towards Summerwind Elementary or coming from and each day without fail he wears a huge smile and sometimes he is visibly laughing and he is always holding both of the little girls hands. I don't know why I am so taken with this young man but he impresses me. It is probably the fact that alot of boys his age would rather sleep in, would rather not go out in the cold - would rather do anything than be nice to their little sisters. I like you young man - you have impressed a complete stranger and you weren't even trying -you were just doin your thang - I LOVE THAT! I have not lost faith in mankind - I believe that there is alot of good people in the world - really good people.

Love you !

Beauty Squared

I Finally made my way to Kuna to meet my new little nieces Maggie & Abbey! You can't believe how little they are and how much there siblings love love love them - especially Dawson! They look like Thornes alright - dimples and all and I think they might end up with Redish hair - TRUE! Beauty & her sister Beautiful lay in little bassinetts right by each other and it was just so wonderful to see them. The proud Ma & Pa had everything under control, in fact as I type Molly is at the mall doing some Christmas shopping - all by herself - until I meet her there that is. Tristan is taking the 8 o'clock feeding and she doesn't have to be back till 11 . Can you believe that - good on ya Tris! Just look at these little dollies - I think Maggie - who by the way is in the mostly green outfit looks alot like her darling big brother Dawson. While I was there Bailey informed me that they were in fact twins - Just in case I was wondering why there was two of them. The picture you see of Miss Sassy pants there is her on a fake phone and she had just said to whomever she was "talking" to " There home and they are safe and healthy!" Funny little purse snatcher that she is. As you can see they are so darling and just look at that proud Momma - and in case you were wondering she totally looks like she was never ever pregnant in her life - but folks she's had 6 babies.

Girls, Aunt Jenny loves you!

Thankful

Happy Thanksgiving ! I just wanted to share a little bit of our fun day. It was just us - Jared & I and the kiddos for thanksgiving. We had crockpot chicken and gooey potatoes, green salad, homeade rolls & of course pumpkin pie and just for fun Wendy's peanut butter brownie bars! Paige decked the Thanksgiving Halls with all her fun projects and the kiddos dressed up in their Thanksgiving best. After naps we all watched Charlie Brown Thanksgiving and then Anna killed us with her best Doug the dog impressions! OH that girl is super funny! Check the video down below for a good giggle! I love my life here with my little family and I feel incredibly blessed. Also take note of Miss Maddie Belle in her ballet performance of Hansel & Gretel - wow Maddie that was sooo good - professional! Also, another thing to be thankful for Jared & I are done with our crazy diet and that is a pic of us enjoying our first chocolate together! Thanks for the See's candy Mitz!

I did miss my family and wish I had been there but we had such fun here at the Holyoak Homestead! Love you all and hope you too had a wonderful Thanksgiving! STay tuned tomorrow for pictures of my beautiful new nieces - Maggie & Abbey - they came home today from the NICU - what a great Thanksgiving for the Thorne's. Good luck Miss Molly - proud Momma of 6 -WHOA!!!!!

Love you all!
