It's been a little while, and I'm due for a new post! I guess October was so dang action packed, we took it easy in November? But, you know us... takin it easy doesn't mean much! We still managed to do a few fun things:
Messy Mills... still:)

My friends met up at a condo for a GIRLS NIGHT!!!
Thank heaven for AWESOME FRIENDS!
Seriously, my friends are like sisters to me. People always tried to tell us- "you'll never see your highschool friends again..." Well, we've stayed pretty dang close! It's fun to have a group like ours where we all know everything about each other & we can talk about anything & help each other out. It's like a giant support group!
All our babies slept soundly in one room while we stayed up till 6am, laughing & talking about everything under the sun... Good times (except for the sleepyness the next day)!
*and thank you Jaclyn for your cute GIRLS NIGHT basket, and Kattie for your ever lasting BEAN dip... ha ha:)


Oh, & sorry BYU fans... GO UTES!
Classic Smith family TURKEY BOWL!
We love Thanksgiving, I guess cuz we LOVE to EAT:)


NEW TURKEY DAY TRADITIONS...
Well, this year was my first experience with BLACK FRIDAY shopping. Yes, I had to 'borrow' my out-of-town neighbors' paper. Yes, I found a deal of a century on kid sized chairs, and Yes, I fought the crowds & lines and LOVED IT! But next year i'm determined to make it a team effort, with matching t-shirts and everything.
Another tradition I have decided on, is THANKSGIVING CHRISTMAS JAMMIES!!! I can't wait till christmas eve to give my girls their matching holiday jammies then use them for just a few days... so, thanksgiving it is! (but that doesn't mean I won't be able to stop myself from giving them jammies on x-mas eve too)
And that friday after Thanksgiving, I have learned, is a GREAT DAY to bust out the Christmas music, the tree, the lights, the decorations.... AWH, I LOVE IT!
LET THE CHRISTMAS BEGIN!!!
Okay, milly was so stinkin cute with all the boxes of decorations. She was in her own heaven, gathering ornaments in her arms, pulling everything out of boxes (& into her mouth)... It was darling, and she LOVES the tree, well taking off & on the ornaments!
