Hello December

We have had a fun December so far! The girls have continued to enjoy pizza picnics on Friday nights....Mary loves them too! She is my third child.
Ava has her very first loose tooth! We are patiently waiting for it to come out.

We had a Happy Thanksgiving at the Lake. It was so happy that I failed to take pictures!

Ava & Isabella made their annual turkey apples to decorate the table.
Gobble Gobble!

The girls had special cousin time with their dolls...

Grammy made a giant tent for the kids to play in. Jane and Nicolas LOVED it!

Lots of art.....and TONS to be thankful for!

Thankful

We have so much to be thankful for. We enjoyed making our tree this year.

Three

My Baby Girl is 3 Today!

Jane woke up to a cousin birthday breakfast. Isabella and Ava ate with us before school. Will and Creighton were here for the fun as well before heading back to Texas. The only one missing was Nicolas! Jane requested fancy white donuts and her Mama delivered.
Jane's gift from us was Mary's highchair. Jane loves ALL things "Baby." She was super excited this morning. She made her baby a stick of butter and a hamburger patty for breakfast...tasty!

We celebrated Jane's Birthday with a few friends over the weekend...more to come on that!

Weekend O' Fun

We had family here this weekend to celebrate Jane turning 3!

It was crazy and busy...but loads and loads of fun.
Creighton was a little overloaded with girls....hence the borrowed girlie jammies.
They wore Papa out with pony rides...again and again!

Veterans Day Parade

Ava's Kindergarten class took a trip downtown this morning to watch the Veterans Day Parade. They were super cute with their flags to wave.
....there were many sights to see...

We are thankful for those who serve!

Downtown Fun

We went Trick-or-Treating downtown today....

Ava met "Royalty" - This was by far the best we saw today...and we knew them!
The football player, his cheerleader, the cowgirl, and little miss dotty had fun walking around with Grammy.

Also, Mum and Papa came for the weekend...we had SO much fun that we forgot to take pictures....it was a great visit!!!

Oh What a Difference...

6 Months Makes!

Jane's first experience at the dentist 6 months ago was far from fun. We went again yesterday and she LOVED it! She was all about the flavored gloves and the little vacuum that cleans her mouth. She sat there and giggled the whole time.

Ava was in her element. She got her 6 year old x-rays.

....Jane got hers...

....Good Times...

Both girls had a ride on the rocking zebra.....This place is "Over the Top"....THE BEST!

The cherry on top....no cavities!
