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!

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. 

Halloween 2013

The girls had so much fun trick-or-treating together this year! They were so cute running up to each house. Nate set up the fire pit in our driveway and our friend Ryan handed out candy while we took the girls trick-or-treating. It was fun to come back to the fire after we were done and have dinner next to it while watching other kids trick-or-treat. Here are some pics to remember it by, its always hard to get pics among costumes and candy chaos!

Our little green fairy girl!

This picture cracks me up because no one came to the door and the girls had funny expressions telling me about it!

Playing with Ryan. My girls are obsessed with him!

My hunka burnin' love!

and his favorite thing, Fire!!!

This is Wilson our carved pumpkin. Aubrey designed it with Daddy while Reagan picked out every single seed!

Happy Halloween!

Pumpkin Patch at Hunt Club Farm

This fall has been a busy one and we have been trying to fit in a family pumpkin patch visit but it hasn't worked out with our schedule. Yesterday afternoon Daddy got home from work early so we high tailed it over to Hunt Club Farm. The weather was beautiful and hardly anyone else was there. It was perfect! We found our special pumpkin and took it home to carve and made pumpkin seeds. This was the first year both girls were really into the carving process. Daddy had lots of help! So glad we made it over to Hunt Club.

First day of Preschool 2013

Nate and I finally decided to send the girls to preschool this year. Aubrey will be going MWF and Reagan on MW from 9-12. The girls are really excited to go to preschool and have been talking about it non stop the past few weeks. On Wednesday morning Aubrey ran into our room screaming at the top of her lungs that it was "HER FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL!" I think they both had tons of fun on the first day and both of them wanted to go back the next morning and were sad when I told them it wasn't a school day. Here are the pictures I snapped to remember their first day at Kids of Grace for the 2013-2014 school year.

I did a First Day of Preschool Survey with each of the girls. Here is Aubrey's....

Here is Reagan's. She can't write her name so I left it blank. I was really surprised how well she answered the questions for me. That girl likes to shock her mommy and daddy!

Funny Face Outtake!

Reagan is TWO!

Today our little Roo Roo turned two! I just can't believe it and if I think about it too much it makes me cry, she isn't a baby anymore. We sure do love this girl around here:)

She woke up today to a room full of balloons...

We had a busy morning (including doc apt w/ shots) but she woke up from nap ready to get her party on...

Reagan is obsessed with bananas, she wants to eat them all day long every single day! She loves them so much that I decided to order her a Banana Cake (Andy's Monkey Business) from Sugar Plum Bakery. Sugar Plum makes delicious cakes and I always order from them when I don't make homemade because they are a non profit organization that employs people with special needs.

Reagan pointed and said "my nanny cake!"

Singing "Happy Birthday" to our Roo...

Trying to blow the candle...

High five with Daddy, she blew out the candle all by herself!

Raise your hand if you love cake....

For Reagan's birthday party we took the girls to the Ringling Bros & Barnum Bailey Circus this weekend. She had so much fun and loved every minute of it. I wasn't allowed to bring my camera into the circus but I have a few phone pics from the night so I might do another post later on. Here is the birthday girl after the cirucs....

Happy Birthday Reagan Lee! You are such a blessing to our family!!!
