Christmas Party





Isabella and her class had a Christmas party at school and they had sooo much fun. They had snacks, made crafts, played games, and even had a gift exchange. The excitement on their faces when they got their gifts was just absolutely adorable. She got a baby doll for the her gift...in case you were wondering.

Photo session attempt



Well, I tried to wait until the last minute to make Christmas cards this year....and well...as you see....it didn't work. I took the girls out to take some pictures...but one...it got too dark....and too...Emberli did not want to leave my arms. So, I tried to bring them home in front of our tree...but this is as close to a good picture that I got. Totally cute, but not what my vision was. Emberli is such a mess and definitely keeps us on our toes....but she is soooo much fun!

School Christmas Program

Belle and her best friend at school.

The kids did such a good job!



And we finally got Emberli to sit still long enough to get a picture.



Isabella had her first school program at Christmas. The kids did such a good job and they were very cute to watch! It was super fun!



Family pics





We tried to take some family pics awhile back...but unfortunately the weather didn't cooperate. It got cloudy and dark way too quickly. But these are some of the few that I could fix. These are my favorites.

Always Exciting

For those that don't know....Emberli has started totally undressing herself at night and now at naptime. We tried a little bit of everything. We tried putting her back in one piece pajamas, she still got out of those. So, one night we tried jeans....well she can unbutton them but can't take them off. So hopefully we have found a solution. This little girl keeps us on our toes, for sure!

Thanksgiving

We did Thanksgiving lunch with my family. As you see Emberli can successfully feed herself now.....certain foods.


Costumes








Our sweet girls in their costumes.


Fall Party








These are pics from Isabella's Fall Party at school. They painted pumpkins, made their handprint, and made monsters out of stickers. It was about the time they did monsters that I realized she wasn't feeling good. So, we went home shortly after that.

Pumpkin Patch pt 2

Yet again Emberli played peek-a-boo through the hand hole,





You just can't resist that face.




She laid completely out on the pumpkins, like she was going to take a nap or something.









If you notice Emberli's mouth is open too. She does that as she feeds anyone....I guess she thinks we don't know how to eat. It is quite hilarious really.







Onward to the hayride.







The held hands for the first part of the hayride...it was so sweet! I pray that one day they will be the best of friends.







Pumpkin Patch Pt. 1



































Notice the face in the hand hole of the picture below.



We went to the Pumpkin Patch and the girls just played and played. They got their faces painted, played with the pumpkins, fed the goats, and took a hayride.

Family Birthday celebration




We aren't spoiled....are we?



She loves her apron! She loves to help me cook whenever I will let her. But as you all know...she hates to get dirty!


Apparently she was wanting those dress up shoes!

Well, we always have a birthday party at my mom's house for the girls...because normally their birthdays aren't on a weekend. But, now it is a tradition....so we still had it. She had lots of fun and Emberli loved the cake!
