Gymnastics Day

This month Hannah's Heart went to All-Star Cheer and Gymnastics.  The girls had so much fun.  Emma even had to wear her leotard.  It's been over a year since she has been in gymnastic classes, so she was thrilled to get to go again.  Olivia loved to run around on the tumble mat and the trampoline.  I hope we get to go again soon!

Emma's New Hair Cut

Well Emma now has bangs!  Last week she had a new friend over for the first time.  That morning the watched "The Parent Trap".  She loves that movie (the original one)  That afternoon her and her friend decided they wanted to be twins like the girls on Parent Trap.  So Emma gets her new scissors from Santa and decided to play beauty shop.  Luckily she didn't end up with hair as short as Hayley Mills does in the movie, but she definitely has bangs now.  It's not too bad.  She actually did a OK job.  Maybe she has a future as a hair stylist!  Mommy just thinks back to all those months it took to grow out those bangs and now there back.  Don't be surprised if you see lots of barrettes and headbands in her pictures for awhile.  Needless to say all scissors have been confiscated.  

Christmas Pictures...Finally!

This Christmas was so much fun. Emma was so excited about "Santa" and couldn't wait for him to come to her house.  We had a great time with my parents, Matt's family, and going to my Granny's on Christmas Day. Santa brought Emma a science kit, a "real" doctor's kit, and a harp (just what she asked for). Santa brought Olivia a few gifts he already had laying around the workshop :) Both of the girls also got riding toys that they play on everyday.

Christmas so so fun and memorable this year. I know how important it is to cherish these years with the girls while they are so little and so excited about it all. Merry Christmas!!!!

Thanksgiving Day Feast

These are some pictures of the Thanksgiving Day Feast at Emma's preschool. She was so cute dressed in her Indian costume.  We had a full Thanksgiving meal.  And mommy even baked a turkey for the occasion!

Fall Family Portraits

Last week I attempted to take the kids Fall pictures.  Cousin Ridge and Olivia weren't too happy with the idea.  I got what I could and they turned out pretty cute considering the cold weather and it was the kids' nap time!  Happy Fall!!!

We are a little obsessed!

Okay, looking at yesterday's Halloween pictures and some from the past few months.  I had to post these.  Olivia is completely obsessed with her baby cousin Jett.  Jett is 5 months old, but since he has been born Olivia is crazy about him.  As soon as she sees him she says.."et" "et".  She has to hug and kiss him about every 5 minutes She will even sit on the floor at Nana's house and hold out her hands waiting for someone to hand her her baby Jett!  I am sure one day Jett will start getting annoyed with this obsession, but for now it's too cute!  

Happy Halloween!!

We had a busy night!  First we went trick or treating with our friend James Patrick.  Emma loved it and Olivia wanted to eat the candy as soon as it was given to her :)   Emma was dressed as Princess Jasmine and Olivia was pirate.  Emma was originally a pirate, but changed her mind the last minute.  Olivia was to be Tinkerbell, but it didn't fit when I went to put it on her.  Luckily, we are a family with many dress up clothes, so we had back ups.  After door to door trick or treating, we headed to Nana's house to see cousin Ridge and Jett.  We all had fun and ate too much candy.  Happy Halloween!!!
