Madeline's 3rd Birthday Party!

Where has the time gone??  I can't believe Maddie will be 3 tomorrow!  She is loving her dance classes, and is starting swim lessons next week.  Her favorite movie is Frozen these days, and she loves dressing up and playing with her dolls.  She is at such a fun age and has such a little personality.

Over the weekend we had her birthday party and it was so much fun!  We had 17 little princesses here to celebrate and a surprise appearance from Belle herself!  She painted all the girls faces and did a few magic tricks.  It was a fun filled day and here are the pictures.

December 2013

December was a BIG month for us.  Between Savannah's Preschool program, going to see The Nutcracker with Grandma, Santa coming to our house, decorating cookies, getting snow, our annual Christmas party, my birthday, and Derek's family coming to visit, we were very busy.  Not to mention Christmas!!  We had a fantastic holiday season, and got to spend Christmas with Nana, Uncle Jason, Aunt Amy, Noah and Nolan.  We had a lot of fun!

Thanksgiving 2013

We had a great Thanksgiving this year!  We went to my Mom and Step-Dad's house in Ocean Shores.  The weather was gorgeous and the girls loved playing on the beach.  I've been going to 6 years, and this was by far the nicest the weather has ever been, even in the summer!  Savannah loved playing with all of her cousins.  Here are pictures from our trip.

Halloween 2013

We had a fantastic Halloween in our new house!  It's not very common these days to go trick or treating in a small town neighborhood where the fire department comes to patrol the streets to make sure the kids can have fun in a safe environment, it was awesome!  My neighbors warned me to get a lot of candy since our neighborhood is the one all the kids in the neighboring towns come to for trick or treating.  I bought 3 Costco sized candy bags and that was just barely enough....500 pieces!  We've started a tradition of spending Halloween with our good friends the Gick Family, and the girls always have a blast.  They spent about 45 minutes trick or treating, and the rest of the night passing out candy (I think they enjoyed that part more)!  Here are pictures from our night!
