Wednesday, Nov.22 Thanksgiving Day we had lunch with family then the guys flew to Austin for the TCU/UT game. TCU won!!!

 On Friday, Nov. 23 we left Spring Mesa and drove to Fort Worth to spend the night before we drove to Allen/Dallas to do Thanksgiving with the Hall family.

 Saturday, Nov. 24 we made it to Allen,Texas at 10am to have lunch with Ryan's side of the family at Pam and Ray's house. It was very good and Dylan had a lot of fun playing with Warren!

Lots of Love,

Fun times after project 365!

 

Hey everyone! First I want to apologize if any of these photos below are repeats. I have had a hard time with my organizing now that we are finished with her photo a day for Dylan's project 365!

I'm blogging the Sunday before Thanksgiving... We all can't wait to get to the ranch to visit my family and play with the other babies,Judd and maybe Joe Paul. Then we head to Allen to visit Ryan's family and spend lots of time with Warren which is always a hoot!

I will try to take loads of pictures so you all can see the massive controlled chaos!

 

Here is Dylan with her JoJo from Chris Guerrini!

 Dylan and mommy on her special day...Her FIRST birthday!

 At Dylan's school she was supposed to bring 3 pictures of things she is "thankful" for so here is one I turned in for her :)

 Hannah and Me at Hannah's bridal brunch!

 Me and Nicole at Hannah's wedding! Fun times :)

 The other day I bought Dylan the movie Lorax and she LOVED the case! She was kissing and hugging it. So precious!

 Who needs an engineer for a dad when you have a mommy!!!!

 Dylan Avery in her new state of the art Grillin' Kitchen!

 One of my best friend from highshool,Merrill sent this awesome owl hat to Dylan. Merrill's very talented mother made it!

 Brunswick stew...It's what's for dinner!

 This was my VERY full lap the other day! Very spoiled babies :)

 I had to include these because Ryan and I loved them so much!

At dinner the other night these two paintings were on the wall...

 It's all the old presidents playing cards together!Drinkin',smokin' and having a laugh all together!

I just love Ronald Reagan's face in this picture!

 Love that Dylan wants to mock me by having a pillow in her lap on the couch like mommy!

 Dylan's friend,Reese gave her this butterfly tunnel for her birthday and this weekend was the first time we got her to go through it! She loves it and it's hilarious to watch her crawl in it!

 Watch out Hollywood...here come Dylan Avery Hall!

 Thanks Amanda Perches for the awesome shades! Dylan loves them...and so do we! :)

Alright, hope you got your cute-ness fix for the week! I finished the blog with my favs :) This girl rocks my world and I couldn't imagine it any other way!!!
We love you to the moon and back at LEAST 100 times!

Love,
Cari and Dylan



Dylan's first Halloween!

 

TRICK OR TREAT!!!

We drove to Fort Worth Wednesday evening and even though Dylan was running a fever and didn't feel well she rallied and dressed up as a glitter fish and off she went!

 

 Dylan totally understood the act of trick or treating! She would walk up to the door,I would knock and she would actually pick candy out of the bowl. If the home owner left the candy bowl down long enough, she would take more candy! HAHA

I love my little glitter fish!

Love,

Cari and Dylan

Dylan Avery Hall....One year old!

Can you believe it?! I know, neither can I!!!

I can't believe our precious angel is 1.

 

Here is Dylan after Dane Arnim's Texans birthday party...she LOVES her pom poms!

 We went to a Halloween play date at Mitchell's house down the street and Dylan was obsessed with this little boy in his Elmo costume! She literally followed him around the whole hour and wanted to squeeze him! HA

 BIRTHDAY GIRL!!!

 Dylan and her cousin Warren! I love this picture because look at her face and look at Warren...

"What in the heck are you doing?"

 Gran brought pumpkin shaped sugar cookies so Dylan helped herself!

 I made this sign for her 12 mo. pictures!

 It looked like a pinterest factory in our house for Dylan's birthday! These are owl cupcakes I made...

 Cami needs some shades!

You are walking, almost running everywhere!

You can say "mama" and "dada" and "babababababa"

You can clap,do Indian sounds,blow bubbles,pick up everything!

You still like to eat baby food and don't care for weird textures, like cottage cheese!

We still give you 2 bottles a day (one for nap and one for bedtime)

You have 6 teeth (4 on top and 2 on bottom)

You don't like to sit still and never watch t.v. You love figuring things out and being outside!

Oh and you are mean as a hornet to your dog,Cami! We are trying to teach you not to hit.

 

You are the most precious thing that has come into our lives and I know everyone will agree that you are so strong,hard headed,smart as a whip,and feisty!

We love you very much Dylan Avery Hall!

Love,
Cari and Dylan
