Thanksgiving

We had a wonderful Thanksgiving! Nate had just returned after being gone for a month so the girls and I enjoyed every minute of having him back home! Mimi and Pa flew in from Texas and Uncle Ben drove up from NC to celebrate Thanksgiving with us.  On Thanksgiving Day Nate, Ben, I ran the Turkey Trot 10k. The Turkey Trot has become a tradition for Nate and I and the run this year was really fun!  Here are a few pictures to remember Thanksgiving 2012 by....

Growing up too quick!

Our littlest Turkey!

Nate built us a corn hole set a few months ago and we had a lot of fun teaching everyone how to play. 

The problem is Nate wins every.single.time. ughh! 

Virginia Beach Aviation Museum had Trains, Planes, and Santa the day after Thanksgiving.

Daddy and his Double Troubles!!

The U.S. planes are much cooler than the German ones!

Rare picture with Mommy since she always has the camera. 

Playing with some bears

 The museum had several trains set up in one of the hangers and the girls LOVED it. There were all sorts of buttons to push so the children could interact with the trains and make them do fun things.

Santa might have trains in mind for the girls this year ;)

There is Santa! We got to watch him fly in from the North Pole in an old red biplane.

                          

Poor Reagan is still not a Santa fan.

Poor girl I really don't like torturing my kids like this....well maybe a little.

Aubrey telling Santa she wanted nail polish for Christmas!

Children's Museum

One of the many fun things we did while Nana and Pap were here was take the girls to the Children's Museum in Portsmouth. We went on a cold rainy day after Sandy passed and it was a much needed day out after being cooped up because of the storm. The girls had a blast, we had a hard time getting Aubrey to leave!

Doctor Aubrey 

Oh no this baby needs a shot!!!

Poor Nana so did she!!

Farmer Reagan, she loved gathering the eggs....

and then placing them in the basket holes! She also got to milk a pretend cow!!

Reagan is obsessed with brushing her teeth like Mommy!

Thanks for the fun day Nana and Pappy! 

Halloween

Its late but here are a few pictures of Halloween 2012. Nana and Pap were here to visit (Nate was away in California training). Pap & Reba handed out candy in the driveway with a fire pit while the girls went trick or treating. We had a few mishaps this Halloween first my camera battery died and then Aubrey got scared right off the bat so things didn't go as I expected. Last year Aubrey had so much fun but this year the first house she went to was decorated very scary with lots of scary costumes and she never really got back the courage to treat or treat. Next year we may need to pick the houses carefully or do a different form of trick or treating  We had fun anyways getting them ready, setting up the driveway fire pit with Pap, and playing before in their costumes.

My Fairy and Strawberry Shortcake
