Anna Kate Recap: October and November

A few more of Anna Kate:

Anna Kate loves stickers...she was very happy when they gave her one at the pumpkin patch!

Anna Kate goofing off in the front yard. She wasn't enjoying taking sister pictures in their halloween t-shirts.

I mentioned in an earlier post that Anna Kate LOVES dress up. She wore (one of her many) princess dress to Downtown Disney. While we were there, she got sprinkled with pixie dust from Fairy Godmothers-in-training from the Bibbity Bobbity Boutique.

We love bouncers! Anna Kate celebrating with her friend's 3rd birthday with a bounce house. Lots of fun!

This girl loves to paint. She prefers tempra paints, but will settle for water colors. We might have a budding Picasso on our hands!

Alex Recap: October and November

Here's a few more of Alex:

Guess Alex likes what she sees :)....

Halloween 2009 -- Costume pictures to follow later

Looks like somebody is pulling up on the crib!

Starting to scoot about....

All smiles ;)....

Anna Kate Quick Recap: August and September

Here's Anna Kate's photo recap for August and September!

Anna Kate's first day of school. I could NOT get a single shot of her smiling or facing the camera. She was ready to go!

Anna Kate *loves* dress-up...the fluffier the tutu and the more noise the shoes make....the better!

Anna Kate was trooper when she had to have blood drawn...see the pink bandage? She did fantastic--much better than expected (and better than mama!)

Anna Kate "helping" in the kitchen, using the term helping loosely. It is NOT recommended to use such a chair to stand on to work in the kitchen!

Alex Quick Recap: Aug and Sept

Here's a photo recap of a few happenings in August and September with Alex:

Alex started with purees...with some help from big sister.

Having fun with some soft friends....

Helping Mama in the Kitchen, probably getting Alex's food ready....

Having fun........

Santa!

Here are a few pictures of the girls with Santa. Anna Kate is LOVES Santa and didn't have any patience waiting for him. Once she saw him, she was gone! So when we were having lunch at a Rotary meeting, Santa made an appearance. Anna Kate *screamed* SANTA! and took off....and Santa didn't miss a beat. He scooped her right up and carried her to the front of the meeting!

Alex finally warmed up to the idea of Santa. The first few attempts were futile, but as you can see, Alex got used to the ol' man.

And I have a secret to share...don't wait for Christmas Eve to get your (official) Christmas pictures with Santa. We did this year, and although they turned out, it was an interesting ride to get there......rain storm, possible tornadoes in the area

and 3 adults for 2 kids. Go figure!
