Snow Day 2010!

We got our first big snow of 2010 and had a great time playing in it! The girls didn't stay too long, but had fun with the sleds at our neighbors house and attempting to have a snowball fight!
How cute are these three!!!!

Go Julia!

Our Visit to MS!

We came down to Mississippi this past weekend for a quick trip over the long weekend! We had a great time visiting with Granny and Dandaddy and playing with all of their toys! Even though it rained, we had a great time!
We got new purses with our own sunglasses, lipstick, cellphone, play perfume and play nail polish from Granny and Dandaddy. So, of course we had to borrow Mommy's scarf to make sure that we were ALL out Hollywood!
Who you talking to you on your new cell phone, Gracie?

Polar Express!

We took a family fun weekend trip to the Polar Express in Chattanooga last weekend and a wonderful time! Our first stop was to make sure that we got a family picture with Santa in the "Choo Choo hotel." Everyone was so happy to see Santa!
Waiting for to board the train to go to the North Pole on the Polar Express! Cute pic, but Gracie is doing her best "smile" impression! What a silly little girl!
Getting a picture with daddy right before we stopped to see Santa at the North Pole! Gracie is making sure that Daddy smiles by pinching his cheeks! What a fun game!
Telling Santa one more time what we want for Christmas! It's more official when you see him at the North Pole and give him your list there! See you Thursday night Santa-we had a GREAT time on the Polar Express and hope that we get to make it an annual event!

Christmas Parade

We finally got a chance to go out to the downtown Jackson Christmas Parade after being here 3 1/2 years! The weather was a little cold, but just right for a night in December. We started with caroling on the steps of our church in downtown, then walked across the street to watch the parade. The girls loved all the Santas driving the tractor, driving the tow truck, in the firetruck and even the "Little General" (hospital mascot) dressed as Santa! What a great night with some CUTE little girls!

Halloween Fairies!

Sorry that this post took over a month to post, but it has been a BUSY fall! Our cute little fairies (Tinkerbell and Rosetta) showed up for Halloween and had a GREAT time trick-or-treating on Northwood!
Gracie (Rosetta) enjoyed her first Halloween where she could walk all by herself! She was such a trooper and pretty much walked the whole trip on Northwood of trick-or-treating!

Costume Day at Gymnastics

Julia got to wear her Halloween Tinkerbell costume to gymnastics this week so we had to get some cute pictures of the fairy in action!

The new PINK balance beam that Julia LOVED! She was quite a pro on this new beam that is about 12 inches off the ground!

Pumpkin Party at Gracie's School

Gracie's school had a pumpkin party on Thursday and they got to bring a small pumpkin to school to decorate! After Ms. Melisa read them a cute pumpkin story, the children enjoyed pumpkin muffins and went on to play outside before decorating their pumpkins. It was so fun to watch Gracie at her school!
Enjoying the pumpkin muffin!

Sunny Day at the Pumpkin Patch!

We made our annual trip to the Green Acres Pumpkin Patch on Sunday and had a GREAT time! So much warmer than our Oxford trip! The girls had fun visiting with the pumpkin family and climbing all OVER the pumpkins!
Cute girls in the wagon!
Pick out a good one Gracie!
It's your turn now to pick one out, Julia!

Dressing up the Baby

Gracie got into the cold weather accessories bag this weekend at the hotel and decided that she needed to dress up and dress her baby up! Cute shoes you have on there, baby! We called them her baby Uggs! Pj's are always cuter with your mommy's gloves and a winter hat, right?
The finished product! Baby sure was WARM when she went to bed with Gracie!
Luckily, Julia's baby survived the dress up session and got to stay in her jammies!

Oxford Punkin Patch!

We traveled to Oxford (again) this weekend and visited the Episcopal church pumpkin patch on the square. We just visited this weekend since it was cold and were hoping that we could make a visit to our local pumpkin patch on Sunday when we got back. But, we got lots of good pictures from our visit!
Gracie, what do you have there?
Just her size!
There are SO many pumpkins, mommy!

Sweet Sisters and Disney On Ice!

We have been busy lately with some small trips! We have started our fall treks to Oxford for the Ole Miss games and have LOTS of home games in October and November! The girls are getting really good at cheering with the cheerleaders and learning the Hotty Toddy!
We took a little day trip a couple of weeks ago to Memphis for Disney on Ice (a surprise to the girls!). We got to do a little walking around downtown at Mud Island and then rode the trolley around just in time to see the show!
