Annie is keeping us on our toes. She's one hyper, happy, loud, talkative baby and we can't get enough of her. Here's what our little 11 month old is up to these days.
She waves goodbye...
She loves Top Ramen, but that's expected...
Crawling....
Walking with help...
Making messes and getting into everything- she hits up the toilets daily. We're lucky if the toilets are just full of water when she gets to them.
She gets stuck in the weirdest ways...
Man I love this girl!Riding Traxx up to Temple Square...
Making Gingerbread houses...
Seeing Santa....
Went to the zoo...
We spent Thanksgiving Day with the Millar Clan- Grandpa Millar, his kids, their kids, etc... I love this family! They won me over the first time I met them. Some of the nicest, most fun people I have ever met. I feel pretty lucky that we get to see them as much as we do.
Highlights of the day:
Rocket Launching. Grandpa Dad (Drew's Dad) built a rocket launcher that launches paper rockets that the kids make. Mac and G had the highest flyers...they did have some help from Grandpa and Uncle Jed.
Would it be Thanksgiving without football?
Of the 28 Millar grandchildren, 16 are boys. Of the 16 boys, 13 are married and 8 of the 13 had baby girls within the last fourteen months. 5 of the boys are pictured below (from left to right, Trevor (Bridget), BJ (Carley), Jed (Maren Jane), Jeremiah (Quinn), and Drew (Annie). I've said it before - these Millars are some of the manliest (hairiest) men I know. Hopefully the girls won't follow suit :)
with my family on Wednesday night. 
Grandma Heaps came over early in the day to help make some of the food. She was bossing us around the kitchen and we loved every minute of it!
The other day we went for a walk. I left the boys and baby girl at the bridge to play while I made a couple laps around the park. I came back to a full on boat race. This is why the boys love their dad!
The first of November our bishop and his wife moved to London. It was a sad goodbye. Bishop Blogdett has played a huge role in our lives since moving to Kentucky especially Drew's. We are grateful for their 8 years of service in the Tates Creek ward and for their willingness to serve like they did! London is lucky to have them.
Bishopric- 2 of the 8 counselors that served with bishop
here's the letter we added to book for bishop and christie...
One of the highlights of attending church over the last six years was the smile I would see on Bishop’s face and his excited greeting of “Drewsky” each and every Sunday. We have enjoyed the opportunities to labor together during these years and will cherish the memories that we have made together. As you prepare to embark on another opportunity and challenge together, we would to list a few reasons that we will forever be grateful that your time in
1- You were two of the first people to welcome each of our children into the world. As the kids have grown you have always been gracious to them and great examples to them. Our kids have only had one Bishop to this point and we are sure that your caring nature and many of your generosities (i.e. suckers) will be greatly missed. We are grateful that as they have begun to establish their testimonies of church leadership, that they have had such a good man to look up to.
2- After a year in the Stake I am only now beginning to get used to a church meeting without the Bishop. For over 5 years I had the privilege of serving with you as the Executive Secretary, the Young Men President, and a Counselor in the Bishopric, and I can honestly say that I looked forward to 6:30 a.m. Bishopric Meeting more than I have to many other things.
3- My priesthood line now goes through your own. You ordained me a High Priest in July of 2008, but I think the ordaining to the office was only the beginning of the blessings that I received from serving with you. I am grateful for the faith that you had in me and the encouragement that you gave me to more fully magnify my priesthood.
4- For several years both Ash and I had the privilege of serving with Christie as she blessed the lives of the young women. We still have many of the heartfelt thank you notes you wrote and appreciate your example of love and service and also your ability to bless those you serve with and not just those you serve.
While our birthdates may be separated by a few years, we can honestly say that our friendship with you over these last three years has been one of the richest we have had. We wish you only the best and you move forward and look forward to any opportunities we may have to reunite in the future. You have made such a difference in our lives and we are grateful every day that you spent the last decade serving so valiantly in the Tates Creek Ward.
It seems like every holiday gets better and better with these 2 boys! When we were out trick or treating, G and Mac laughed and giggled. They raced up to the doors and were so excited to see what candy each house had! They yelled "Trick or Treat" and "Thank you!"It was so pure joy watching them. Drew missed out, he stayed home and handed out candy with Annie.
