Santa

We took the girls to see Santa last night after dinner. They were so excited! I wasn't sure if Reagan would like him up close this year but I guess our long talk about Santa paid off because she really enjoyed sitting on his lap. Apparently the girls want snow globes for Christmas?!?

Haircuts

Today I took the girls to my friends house who does my hair so they could get a haircut. Aubrey's hair is so long it takes forever to dry, tangles easily, and is really hard for this "not good at hair" mom to manage. She did not want to get it cut at first, she said "no mommy I want to be like Tangled and have super long hair forever" but I convinced her that if we cut it, it will grow back longer and healthier. She ended up getting really excited to go to Georgia's and couldn't stop talking about her "hair apt" all morning long.

After!

I have never cut Reagan's hair so this was the first trim! Reagan did great in the chair, she watched Aubrey go first which I think helped. She sat very still (which she never does for me!) while Georgia cut away. It was really close to her nap time and she almost fell asleep during the cut!

Thanksgiving

We had a wonderful Thanksgiving here in Va Beach. Mimi came to visit for the week and it was a lot of fun having her here. I didn't take many pics but here are a few phone pics that got snapped.

Here I am about to start the Turkey Trot 10K. Running the Turkey Trot has become a Michael family tradition. Every year it has been pretty cold for the trot and I always think we are crazy for subjecting ourselves to it BUT we always have a lot of fun doing it. 

Right after we finished! 

Daddy smoked us one yummy Turkey. The girls nicknamed him "Squanto" we have a tendency to give everything a nickname in our family.

Aubrey and Reagan made a turkey to show what they are thankful for.....rainbows, whole world, cubbies & puggles (AWANA), the beach, family, church and Jesus!

Ready to eat our feast! 

Can't believe its December now, where does the time go!!!

Fall Leaves

The girls have been begging to play in a pile of leaves. So the day after Thanksgiving Nate raked up a huge pile as well as blew leaves on the girls as they jumped in! It was 30 minutes of pure fun.
