So today Enid had to go back to work for just the day, so I got to watch cute little Lindsey for half the day.  It was fun, and it worked out great. 
For thanksgiving we went down to Aaron and Jill's.  It was a great Thanksgiving!  There were probably about 40 of us all in one house, but that's what I love about Thanksgiving is the being squished between the people I love.  Jill used a family recipe for a marinade for the turkey which made the turkey so moist.  Everyone said it was the best turkey they had ever had.  We were gone for five days, and it's always great to get away, but it's always great to come home and sleep in your own bed, and get back to your own routine.  Bailey did not get put down for the whole week, and Riley loved playing with cousins.  Of course since Logan has a chic-fil-a we had to go there to eat.  We were able to go black friday shopping.  We were able to get everything that we planned on getting.  We just went to wal*mart on Friday, but it was pretty crazy.  Most of the things we wanted weren't being watched, so while Stephen guarded the ottoman that we wanted I was able to go around and pretty much everything else.  Everything was already broken into so I didn't feel too bad.  Except that I did get the portable DVD player for the kids in the car, and later Stephen had it in the cart and someone was like "where did you get that, those aren't suppose to be open til 12, where did you get that" and then he went and got two wal*mart associates who questioned Stephen, and he told them that other people were taking them and that he was either gonna have to grab one then or he wasn't going to get one.  The workers were like well we are going to check the security tapes and if your story doesn't match up we are going to cancel the sale.  Stephen was like you have thousands of people in your store right now and you are going to go look at video footage, right.  Funny, because they would never even see Stephen on there, because it was me.  But really, what adult tells, and then what walmart worker has the authority to stop the sale.  Then Alyssa was wanting to get sheets, but there was a lady who was blocking them with her cart so no one else could get any.  She asked her to move her cart and the lady said no, I've been here since 6, and I'm not moving my cart.  She had told the other lady's that were there that if they let her block it she would fill up her cart and then give them what they wanted, which is totally ridiculous, which appearantly Alyssa thought so too, because she tried taking them out of the lady's cart, and the other women grabbed them of Alyssa's hands, but luckily my sneaky niece Nicole was there to grab some while all that commotion was going on.  But people get crazy during black friday.  We were going to try and get some cheap movies, but that was way too caotic... there was screaming and swearing, and pushing, and it just was not worth it.  So in a nut shell thanksgiving consisted of a lot of eating, talking, shopping, not a lot of sleeping, and we were able to play basketball, and a few other board games.  
Stephen only has two weeks of school left, which I am so grateful for, then he will have a break until April.
My back has been giving me issues for about a month now, and it was terrible during thanksgiving.  It's weird though because some days it feels ok, and then others I can't even move.  I've gone to chiropractor a couple of times, but it only is a temporary relief.  It makes it really hard to carry around two kids, but that's probably why it hurts in the first place. 
Bailey is sitting by herself without wobbling.  She loves to bounce.  She is getting better with tummy time.  She is always squinting in pictures because of the flash, then she laughs right after the picture.  We have started giving her graham crackers, and vanilla wafers and things.  She makes a huge mess, but she has fun feeding herself.  She is already in #4 diapers...Riley can still fit in #4 diapers.  Everyone at thanksgiving couldn't get over what a good baby she was, and how happy she was.  They all said that she is exactly like me when I was a baby.  She is definately spoiled and we have some sleeping habits that we need to break. 
Riley is such a sweet boy.  He loves his sister so much.  Whenever she cries he brings her a toy or does something to try and cheer her up.  He has started liking to take baths again.  He wants to help me with everything I do.  He even had his hand on mine while I was typing this for a while, and he said I"m helping you mom.  He wanted to help me pump the other day, which I drew the line at.  Riley is excited for Christmas, and he knows that Santa Claus is going to bring him toys.  He knows all the words to Santa Claus is coming to town, and he even does little actions to it, it's really cute.  Riley loves plugging in the tree in the mornings.  He has done really good with the tree this year.  The second day it was up he chucked one of the plain ornaments against the wall, and it shattered, but after that he has done really good.  I guess he had to get it out of his system.  We made a chain countdown to Christmas last night, and loved that he got to use the scissors.
