More Birthday Pics

After the girls birthday party, I kept telling them that their "real" birthday was coming up soon. So for two weeks they would constantly ask me if it was their "real" birthday yet. They were more than excited when they woke up on their birthday and I told them it was finally their birthday! We celebrated with Brian's family first then headed to Houston and celebrated with my family. Dodie made each of the girls their own special birthday cake and the girls just loved them! They opened presents and had fun playing with some new things. They also had cupcakes at school with their class and everyone sang to them at gymnastics, so by the end of the week I think they were feeling pretty special!

Tutus and Cowboy Boots

The girls are turning three in just two days! We had their birthday party the first weekend in December to try and spread out all the presents that they will be getting this month. They had a princess pony party at a local equestrian center. The kids got to ride horses, and we also had a bounce house and a hay ride. It was a little chilly but I think all the kids had a great time. I think the girls would have stayed on the horses the whole time if they could! A big thanks to all of our friends and family who came out to celebrate with us and make the girls birthday so special!

Dinner With Santa

We went to the big fundraiser for the girls' preschool last Friday, Dinner With Santa. There was dinner, crafts, games, and of course, Santa! The girls were very excited about seeing Santa. We had been talking about it all week. So as soon as Santa made his appearance we quickly got in line to see him and get our picture taken with him. The camera was ready and we had finally made it to the front of the line....as soon as the girls saw Santa, they SCREAMED bloody murder! They were crying hysterically. There was NO way they were going anywhere near him!!!

So needless to say, I don't think we will have a picture with Santa this year. I didn't take many pics but here are a few. After the whole Santa debacle, the girls were fine and had a great time seeing their friends, eating, and playing games.

Thankful

I know that I am very late posting these but better late than never! We had a wonderful Thanksgiving at the ranch with Brian's family. The girls loved playing outside with all their cousins. It is such a great dynamic when they are all together! Brooklyn even got to go on her first deer hunt with daddy. I think it is the first of many! We have so much to be thankful for but most of all our amazing family and friends : )

Choir Girls

The girls joined the Children's Choir at church this year and they had their first performance yesterday. It was pretty funny to watch a bunch of two, three, and four year-olds stand up there and sing. The girls sing those songs constantly when we are at home or in the car but I don't know if any of them sang during the performance. I think they did better at the second service but then they figured out that they were showing them up on the big screen and they started pointing and saying "I see me!" No matter what, I am proud of them and I always love listening to them sing, especially when they sing about Jesus!

Halloween 2010

Ok, I know that it is halfway through November but I just realized that I never posted the girls pics of them trick or treating on Halloween. The girls were really excited about going and we ended up going to a lot more houses than I had planned. We went with Mason and Hudson, so we had two pirates and three fairies. They were precious!

Trunk or Treat

The girls had trunk or treat at their school and got to go trick-or-treating with their class and get lots of candy from all the wonderful parents who volunteered. They loved going to each trunk and seeing all the different costumes and decorations while filling up their buckets with goodies.

Checking it all out. I think they were a little overwhelmed at first!

They really liked this little monster guy!

More Halloween fun

This year Dodie had a Halloween party at her house for all of the grandkids and some close family friends. There were lots of fun games and the girls had a great time playing with their friends.

There was a game to bob for apples but the girls just picked out the apples and walked around eating them!

Pumpkin Patch

The girls' class took a field trip to the pumpkin patch last week. They loved checking out all the different pumpkins. There were big ones, small ones, and even some bumpy ones and white ones. Each of the girls got a pumpkin to paint and then we picked out a few more to take home. It was a lot of fun!

Fort Worth Fun

We took a trip up to Fort Worth two weeks ago to celebrate cousin Grant's 1st birthday! The girls got to play with Jackson and Grant and had a great time. We took over Chick-fil-a for lunch and then all of the kids took a great nap before the party. The party had a camping theme and everything was super cute. Thank goodness the paparazzi (Kelly) was there to take lots of pictures! :) I love that the girls are so close with their cousins and they all play so well together.
