November Fun 2012!
After having Abigale's birthday, Halloween, and Lydia's birthday all in one week I was pretty exhausted so it was the perfect time to have my parents come stay with us for a weekend to finish it all off with a bang! It started with the first real snow fall. We were so excited but little did we know how much snow we would get in the next few months! Crazy! Papa and Nana took us to breakfast at Kneaders which has since become Abigale's favorite place to eat but she gets a little frustrated when we go there during the day and they are no longer serving the french toast! Life is so unfair! :) We then went to the mall and the girls got a new outfit, did some shopping at Costco (new snow tires), and then headed home and played in the snow. After Papa got his nap in, :) we took the girls to Wreck It Ralph and brought home some dinner. It was such a fun day!
At Kneaders, impatiently waiting for the french toast! |
Snow! |
The first (and only) snowman of the season. Don't mind Ryan's pink pants! |
Papa getting his nap in and again, dont mind Ryan's pants! |
It was Parent week at Bravo, where my girls do dance and tumbling, so we got to watch Lydia do a little dance and show us what she has learned. My little Ballerina! |
Ryan's newest trick- pull the stool over to the utensil drawer and pull out all the silverware. He is pretty proud of himself! |
Thanksgiving
This year we celebrated with Jonathan's family and it was great until five minutes before we sat down to eat dinner. Abigale started saying that her throat hurt and just wanted to lay down. She looked kind of pale but didnt have a fever but as we were getting ready to say the prayer she threw up all over herself. While everyone started eating I was up in the bathroom with the poor girl getting her cleaned up. She pretty much threw up all night long which was okay because I was up most of the night black friday shopping online. After that every 24 hours someone else in the family got sick except for me and Jonathan's parents and brothers also got the stomach flu. We felt so bad! Despite the sickness it was nice to be with everyone!
Ryan and his Grandpa playing outside. |
In Jonathan's family, the girls hangout all Thanksgiving morning and bake lots and lots of delicious pies. It is really fun and this is how Lydia contributed- licking the spoons! |
We took a walk to the park which is close to their house and it was such a beautiful day! |
Poor sick girl! This was Abigale the rest of the time there! |
Ryan's turn at the sickness! |
We did our take of Elf on the Shelf with our friend- Elfie! The girls loved him! Such a fun new tradition that I cant wait to do every year!
We made a trip to Ikea and this was Ryan's first real ice cream cone and he loved it and ate every bite!

Lydia's Turn at a Birthday (in November)!
The day before her birthday we decided to cut her hair. It was so long and getting harder to control so she was surprisingly excited to cut it! |
So cute! |
Birthday girl! She had preschool on her birthday so she made pink oreo cookies to take to her friends. |
While she was at preschool, I got her Barbie and Popstar to watch when she got home and she was so happy! |
After her movie and before dinner, she got to find all of her presents! |
This was what she really wanted and was so happy she got it! |
All of her presents! Spoiled girl |
Party Time!
Lydia wanted a princess tea party for her party and had all of her guests wear their princess dresses.
Her party was surprisingly calm compared to Abigale's and the girls were so cute and polite! We had a great time!
Decorating their princess sacks |
While girls were decorating their sacks, we pulled two over at a time to get some pretty make up on and put glitter in their hair. |
Beautiful Princesses! |
We played a few fun games- freeze dance, a princess relay, and a version of duck, duck, goose. |
Time for a tea party! We had biscuits with strawberry jam, pink pudding with cookies, sugar cookies, and strawberries! |
