Happy M Ranch Thanksgiving: Part 2

And so the adventures continue, taking off on Tuesday from where I left off in Part 1.

We decided to take everyone for a ride in the "limo" to see the cows!

Attempted group selfie :)

 While Maverick is content to ride shotgun, Murphy doesn't care for anything on wheels.

Emma

 When we got back it was time for some more adventuring.

 But quickly the girls got hungry. Emma ate yet another bowl of left over stew (where does it all go!?) and while she loved it and was very happy, she happened to make this hilarious expression right as I snapped the picture and I can't resist including it :)

stew face

more stew please?

 Back outside:

A girl's gotta keep tabs on the cows, ya know 

Taking a breather

Once it started getting too dark to see, we came back inside to play. Emma was pretty fascinated with the singing nativity scene. 

Bath time for 2 littles again! 

And then pajamas. But the fun and cuteness of the day didn't stop there :)

Someone (I don't know who) found a pair of toy binoculars in the toy chest, and Clara started pretending it was a camera and told everyone to say "cheese" for the rest of the trip. So cute.

Then Mommy got silly and decided to stick Emma in a basket, which, surprisingly enough, she liked! You never know.

Out of the box again. While I wouldn't normally include a picture of Clara with her finger in her nose, I can't believe Emma is sitting/kneeling like this!

Back in the box and sissy gets one too!

"Molly turn!"

Now all the little ladies are in baskets! I am determined to make this an annual Thanksgiving tradition - even when the kids are too big. It'll be hilarious.

They are all so cute and good!

 

"Selfie" version because Clara wanted me to turn the phone around 

Once the kids were all done being cute and having their "cheeses" taken, Clara decided it was time for Murphy to go night-night.

Then Clara sings and prays with Papa. Love these sweet videos!

 

And then Molly and Clara show off their animal noise talents!

Maverick is exhausted

WEDNESDAY!

The next day Clara & Molly share some cheerios

E.T. phone home

Emma & Papa

More wagon rides! This time Emma was taking a little baby snooze so it was just the two older girls.

I think Marissa and I were both worried this particular walk was gonna take foooorrrreeevvvaaa because Clara wanted to pull Molly in the wagon and take her hat on and off and on and off, and oh my goodness....

BUT! We did eventually make it :)
Maverick celebrated by taking a swim. Ewww.

Having so much fun running through the grass

Molly pretending to pull Clara

Later in the day Emma went back in the box before nap time and made some funny expressions again :)

And Clara and Molly put Auntie M to night night again:

And Molly makes funny noises:

Blake, Emma and Clara all have a snack:

And then we head outside to see Uncle G and Wizard the Lizard again

Sadly Uncle G, Auntie M, Molly and Murphy had to go bye bye after this :( And then my girls went down for a nap.

Once they were up Clara played a game called run and run and fall down and run and run and fall down some more :) I caught the tail in on video but it's not as good as all of the running and falling that came before :)

Watching the dusk roll in and listening to the coyotes - crazy!

Now Daddy's here! He actually arrived during the girls' naps, but I was also, ahem, taking a siesta, so this was really our first chance to talk :)

yay Daddy!

Clara & Blake quickly became good friends

Watching a movie together

And that brings Wednesday to a close. See you again in Part 3 - Thanksgiving Day at the M&M Ranch!
