Kicking off the Christmas Season

 Seja got to meet Santa for the first time at the Moore Christmas Party. When Santa got to the party we sang a few songs together and he read "The Night Before Christmas." Seja was very interested. She even kept her little Santa hat on as she shook the jingle bells for our singing. Looks like Cameron and Tyson were also very interested. Note their festive colored clothes :)

She did okay with Santa but it helped that he had candy too. I wasn't fast enough to get a picture but she pulled on his beard, like any curious child, to see if it was real. It was!

After Santa left we broke open a pinata. Seja didn't really want any candy but she loves her dad so she grabbed some Kit Kats for him.

Thanksgiving

 This year for Thanksgiving we had Grandma and Grandpa Higham over. We smoked an "oh sooo delicious" turkey. Here is the bird in the smoker.

Here is Cameron carving the bird. You will have to take my word for it, it was delicious. It was great to have family over and enjoy sharing the blessings we have been given this year.

Here is Seja eating a roll,  just waiting for some of that other yummy food.  

Whole Apple

I set an apple down on Seja's tray to entertain her for a moment while I got something else out to start feeding her. I didn't expect that she would just start to eat the apple whole. She is getting good use of all those teeth.

Seja's First Halloween

 Seja is still a little young for Trick-or-Treating but we thought it would be fun to dress her up. She was an elephant. (That is her trunk on the front of her costume and tusks coming out near where her neck is.)

It took a little while but she finally was okay with the hat, which I think makes the costume. She did a little use out of it though. We did go to a business trunk-or-treat (Cameron was helping out with his office) and the ward party. She was a good sport!

Our Little Puppies

Our little dog, Binx, had puppies about five weeks ago. Here are a few more recent pictures.

Seja just loves playing with the puppies and loves when we get them out to walk around. She needs a little help still but she loves to give them hugs.

Fall

We went with Cameron's family to the pumkin patch. Here we are waiting  for the tractor to take us out to the patch to get that perfect pumpkin.

Seja decided that if it was big enough to sit on she would take it home. Just her size! Actually weighed about as much as her.

Here she is at home with her pumkin all decorated. Much easier and cleaner than carving.

Seja likes to sport festive attire. Her new onsie from Grandma and a little bow I made to match.

We got some huge carrots from our garden this year. This was one of the biggest. I am trying to show you it is about the size of my shoe!

We were somewhat successful with watermelon this year. We got three: the first we picked too early it was very green, the second was very small about the size of Seja's head but sweet and this one was just right. Tasted great too, you'll have to just trust me on that one.

And this is our one and only pumpkin we got this year. It was kind of disappointing since pumpkins have always grown well for us in the past but... we will take it.

Precious Moments

 Seja usually will only sleep in her bed and occationally in her carseat. Some how Cameron got her to sleep on him. Her two options this day were homework with mom or sports with dad, guess neither one sounded better than sleep.

I set Seja down on the floor with some kix cereal. I knew that they would end up all over the floor and yet I let her do it. She did pick about half of them back up, the other half the dog came in and ate.

She got tired of standing in her bed so she sat down and then decided she really was tired. It looked pretty uncomfortable so we helped her lay flat but I'm sure she would have just stayed that way for a while.
