I was super happy to get this lovely shot of the girls and me by setting up my camera and hitting the time.  Glad they both cooperated!

Christmas Fun

One day during Christmas break we went to visit our friends, The Boria's.  Ann had lots of fun activities for the kids to do.  And they played with their buddies and had a great time.

Kids Christmas Party

Before Christmas, there is always a Kids Christmas party at mommy's school. We went again this year and had a lot of fun.

 

 The girls both decided to get their faces painted for the first time ever.  They sat patiently and were happy with the designs they picked out. 

 The girls sat with Santa for a quick picture and Natalie stayed on his lap long enough to tell him what she wanted for Christmas.

Halloween

I didn't realize I was so far behind on the blog... Here are pictures from Halloween.  The girls both dressed up as kitty cats.  We went to a tryunk-or-treat with some friends and then also around their neighborhood.  The girls get along very well with these kids and we had a fun night.
