~Holiday Fun 2014~

We've been doing some fun holiday stuff now that Thanksgiving has come and Christmas is almost here!  The week before Thanksgiving we went to Jayda and Sydney's Thanksgiving feasts at their schools.  Luckily, they weren't on the same days or times, so we could go with both of them and they were so excited to see us!  Jacob even stayed after Sydney's feast and went to music class with her so she was pretty thrilled about that!

She was so happy to see her Daddy!

BFF's, seriously...these two are such a mess together, and such sweet precious friends.

 

Over the Thanksgiving break we took the girls to the Houston Zoo lights.  They do this every year for the month of December and I had always wanted to take the girls.   Funny enough we never went while we lived in Sugar Land, but drove in from Huntsville for it!  Nana, Mammaw, Karen and Caitlyn came with us too.  The lights were beautiful and the girls loved it!  We even got to see some of the animals that were still awake.  The giraffes were all in the barn for the night so we got to see them up close through the barn windows so that was really cool!

Checking out the fish.

Only picture of all the "kids".

Avery checking out the pretty lights! 

The miniature trains were so neat!

 

Cute little elves!

By the end of the night we had some tired little girls. 

 

This past weekend we headed to College Station to see the Christmas lights at Santa's Wonderland.  We had never been before and had always heard such great things about it.  The lights were beautiful, however the hour long wait in line wasn't so fun! 

Daddy and his girls!

Cute little gingerbread house on the ride.

Kinda crazy looking, but cool pic on the hayride.

It was snowing at Santa's Town!!!

Oma and Avery hanging out.

 

Our little Elf, Dash came back to our house today!  He was such a pleasant surprise and the girls were so excited to see him this morning!  He even brought the girls all Dash pajamas!  The girls love him so much and talk to him all of the time.  They can't wait to see what he is going to do tomorrow!

 

 "I'm Back!"

There's our little guy Dash!

 

Sweet girls in their Elf pj's. :)

 

Pumpkins, pumpkins, pumpkins...and witches, oh my!

  

 Halloween was a few weeks ago, and boy did our girls have fun!  We went over to Oma and Oupa's house for the day since the girls were out of school and Oma had taken the day off of work.  We spent the day playing outside, and taking lots of adorable pumpkin pictures!  The girls were so sweet and did a great job smiling for Mommy while I took their pictures, so I was very happy!  I love how all of these adorable pictures came out!

  

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

After we finished taking pictures, it was time for some trick or treating!  The girls were so excited to get their costumes on and go get candy!  Jayda and Avery dressed up as witches and Sydney was Supergirl!  This was Avery's first time to trick or treat and she figured it out very quickly. We discovered that she LOVES candy corn (just like her Mama!) :)  She called it "tandy torn" and would get one piece out to eat, put it in her mouth real quick, then hop out of the wagon so that she could walk up to a house and trick or treat, then hop back in the wagon and get another "tandy torn".  This went on all night, it was pretty hilarious!  Jayda and Sydney were running around from door to door so fast I could barely even get their picture.  They had so much fun!  We finished trick or treating at our cousin's house and enjoyed hot dogs for dinner.  I'm so glad that we are still able to trick or treat in a neighborhood, even though we don't live in one anymore!

 

  

 

 

 

 

 Avery Mae recently got her very first haircut!!! She didn't need much of a haircut, just a little trim to even out the length and get a little shape to it.  Since she'd never had a haircut before, several pieces were longer than others and it was looking a bit wild, so I decided it was time to go for it.  I'm so glad we did because her hair looks so cute now and her curls are coming out even more!  I didn't get any pictures during her haircut because I had to hold her in my lap, but I did get these cute ones afterwards. :)

 

 

 

 

 

 The other night the big girls both had their sleeper pj's on before bed and thought it would be a great idea for Mommy and Daddy to put their sleepers on to...so we did, and this is what happened! How could we resist a family pj photo?!?!

 

 

 

 

 

 

Next up...Thanksgiving and Christmas.  I can not believe we are already coming up on the holidays, CRAZY!
