Thanksgiving 2014

Look at this sweet girls trying to give me two thumbs up for Thanksgiving! And that smile!! I just love this busy two-year-old!
 Bree is sporting the traditional turkey hair bow that my friend, Amber, made. The youngest always gets to wear it, so it looks like this is Bree last year with the honor!
 Look at those holes in Sadie's mouth! We were watching AFV the other day and they had a montage video clip of kids getting their teeth pulled out, and Sadie had a look of terror on her face!! She had mini-freak-outs with each tooth I pulled!
 We had Thanksgiving for the first time at the Stewart's new beautiful home. The kids were running all around the house and burning so much energy. It was great to have so much room for everyone to spread out. The food was delicious of course! I made cranberry fluff and martian barf (two jello salads I grew up having).
My girls are obsessed with their girl cousins! If only they lived closer by!
 Maddy was in charge (whether she liked it or not) of these two. Bree and Jaylee mauled and loved on Maddy all weekend long. Check out all that blonde hair!
 The theater room got a lot of use, as did the ping pong table.
 Nothing like lounging on Daddy after a big meal.
 I'll let the rest of the pictures do the talking.
 All the kids cleaned up and ready for church.  We were lucky enough to have Brian's parents in our ward the last few months, until the ward split last week. The girls were so worried that Papa and Grandma weren't going to be their grandparents anymore. They are still confused about the whole split thing. Brian was called as the executive secretary, and I am crossing my fingers that I get to be the ward greeter!

Halloween Class Parties

Sadie's 1st grade class party - This is my favorite party to volunteer for. The kids had been telling me the weeks prior what their costumes were going to be when I had come in to volunteer so it was fun to finally see them all dressed up. There were five Elsa's in Sadie's class but they somehow all ended up with different dresses.  
This was my first year making it to see the Halloween parade. 
 
 I was in charge of the Halloween Photobooth pictures.
Emmy's class party was adorable. Their teacher dressed up as a clown which I never got a good picture of. She has a pretty mellow class for the most part so things just ran smoothly.
  
This is the craft I manned. 
 

Emmy's Pumpkin Patch Field Trip

Emmy LOVES preschool! And I love that she is so independent running into the class by herself,  getting dressed in the morning and brushing her hair. It has all been a good experience thus far. The field trip was on such a nice day and Emmy was in heaven. There were kittens roaming the pumpkin patch and the girls spent most of the time passing the kitties around.
 
 
No wall is going to hold Bree in. She forged her own path!
