Happy Birthday, Elle!

Elle celebrated her third birthday with a small party attended by her playgroup friends. She had a great time and made out like a bandit. The morning winded down with some cookie decorating and ended with a nap. Can you believe the little princess is 3?

Happy Thanksgiving!

We hope that everybody had a pleasant Thanksgiving. We spent ours at Uncle Paul and Aunt Judy's house. Uncle Paul made a most wonderful turkey and my requested Chipotle Mashed Potatoes and peas with pearl onions. Cousins Marie, Juliea and Jessieca were there to spend the holiday with us. We had not seen them for a while, so we were surprised to see how the girls looked more grown up.

Do you see anything different about Noelle? She received her first haircut this past Wednesday. She was so excited and talked about it all day. She gabbed and gabbed with the hairdresser about everything and behaved so well.

Here's a handsome fellow you might recognize.

Snowman

Here is a picture of a snowman that the girls made while staying at Aunt Judy and Uncle Paul's house this weekend. The green pieces are apple peels. As Paul said, "It could only be your 3 who would make a snowman on a 60 degree day".

First Snow Day of the Year!

The kids awoke to a belated Halloween surprise this morning. Lots of snow and NO SCHOOL! They spent about a half hour in the backyard before coming in due to bitter winds. So now, they get to gorge themselves on candy AND cause havoc in the house due to a sugar high and the fact that it is too cold to play outside. CALGON, TAKE ME AWAY!!!!!

In the backyard.

Fun in the snow.
