Ready!

We are so ready for this christmas season to begin! The tree is up.



The lights are up- thanks to me (my mom helped a little). This is a first for us. One neighbor called it a Christmas miracle!




I made a wreath thanks to pinterest!






Saige mentioned a while back that she wanted a "fancy dress" for Christmas this year. I decided to just do it. It's not my style but who cares right? So we went to target and I let them pick. Reese picked a beautiful black and red dress. Perfect for Christmas. Saige picked a purple, pouffy dress. Purple? They won't match or even coordinate for the first time ever at Christmas. Trying to remember this is about them and their own style, not me. Can't wait til they can wear them somewhere.



Best part of all is I am finished with all my shopping before December 1st!

It's hard being three

Since Saige has started preschool at the new school that goes until 2pm we have bagged naps. Some days if we are home she will get one but a lot of days she doesn't. We have been super busy lately and it doesn't always happen. If we are out and about I'll drive around if she falls asleep. If we are home and she's grumpy I'll give her one too. But a lot of time I put her down and she won't GO down. She plays in her bed, changes clothes (aka takes a zillion things out of her closet) but doesn't sleep. But lately if she doesn't nap she will get GRUMPY and throw a pretty good fit and then falls asleep in the middle of her fit...






Bless her heart!

November

Oh man, this month is flying by...

Aaron took the girls to Disney on ice


Saige had another visit to the dentist to check her tooth. I really felt that the tooth was getting better, as in moving down some but e dentist squashed my hopes :) She said the tooth is in the same spot but since the swelling has gone down that it just looks better. We are still in the waiting phase. We go back in one month to see if it has moved any.




The girls had a thanksgiving feast at school. I skipped it this year for bible study and feel very guilty even though all they did was eat a special lunch...no songs, play etc. But I made them pose for a picture at home. Aren't they sweet!


Aaron's dad retired from his job and there was a party at his office in his honor. Every person that worked for him or with him spoke so highly of him. What an honor! He is such a Godly man and it shows! Here are all the cousins enjoying some cake!


We also got to celebrate my moms birthday! I made enchiladas and Kara brought cupcakes from somewhere fancy!





Then there was my dads birthday at the Old Spaghetti Warehouse...yum! We hadn't seen my dad since reese's birthday and we all missed them terribly!


We also hosted a Murder Mystery party with our community group from church. We made the house look like a reunion and had a blast! We were lucky enough to get some very cool lights from a friend so we looked professional! Everyone came in costume too!








The girls had a dance party the following day...

Family photos

We had family pictures taken. It was cold and the session was fast but I think they turned out lovely!

Halloween fun!

Over the weekend we got together with our friends for food, cupcakes, pumpkins and sports!




Sunday the girls had crazy Hair day at church. And they DID dress themselves :)


Later that afternoon we went to a friends Halloween party. Kellie went ALL out!

Monday we went to the dentist for saige. He said we are going to leave the tooth but check back in two weeks. We had a pretty normal day. But for dinner I made "worms and eye balls, pumpkin slush, and dipped cookies slime" or spaghetti and meatballs, orange punch and chocolate with green food coloring :) kids loved it!


Proud that my baby has forgotten about yer tooth and started smiling normal again!



Slime!


We went to the Johnson home for some pictures with the girls together.








Then we ran back to our section for a small neighborhood gathering...






And then we were off...











Super fun!

Our first real accident

Saige was standing in her chair at the kitchen table. Apparently her foot slipped, she fell off the chair hitting her mouth on the table causing her front top tooth to get shoved into her gums. Um ouch! I called a friend who quickly came over. Love having friends who will drop everything to help in a time of need. I also dialed my sweet sister in law who calmed me down some. We called the emergency dentist number and he basically said this was NOT an emergency and happens all the time. I was (am?) concerned she's in pain but honestly she is acting 100% fine. Not sure how though. Her lip is sticking out, her teeth and gums look yucky. We go next week for x rays and to have it checked out. Worse case is they pull it. We shall see.

Did I mention we have family pictures Friday? Oh well, it will be a memory. :)









This was her eating a cupcake...notice the tooth :(





Here is it a little more cleaned up...gross!





And her fat lip :)





And her new smile!

Ballet fun

Saige's ballet class did a Halloween dance for the moms, complete with costume and all. Saige gets VERY nervous to "preform" for anyone. During one class she put her hand by her mouth the entire time. Poor thing! But she has some what stuck it out.




Today when we got her ready for class she was so excited and loved being dressed up but come time to leave she said " I feel like I need to poop" and flipped out. I think she felt nervous. We had big big tears and all. Not sure how well this is going to work?

Anyway here she is all dressed to go...


And here are some pictures of her in class with her friends and teacher.











Saige did most of her dance though. :)
