Happy Hanukkah

We had a wonderful Hanukkah season this year. The girls loved helping with the lighting of the candles and trying to sing the prayer. I think their favorite part was eating chocolate gelt each night. At the end of the eight nights we gave them princesses nightgowns, which were a big hit and Abby now wants to live in hers.

Christmas Tree Fun

Over the summer, we had a few new neighbors move in. One of them is the owner of Hill Country Water Gardens. He suggested coming out to his business to meet Santa and get a tree. I am so glad we did! The place was beautiful and the girls loved meeting Santa. Also, I always enjoy helping a local business. A much cuter place to get a tree than the Home Depot parking lot.

Abby did not want to sit on his lap but was quick to tell him she wanted Princess Belle for Christmas.

Will needed a chance to talk to the man in red.

A pit stop to see the fish.

I am absolutely in love with these big blue eyes.

In the middle of it all.

I will take this little one. SOLD!

The girls loved the freedom to run.

I highly recommend checking this place out if you still need a tree.

A Jumpin Celebration

We celebrated Emma's 5th birthday over the weekend. She wanted to have a party at the indoor trampoline park with her friends. She had a blast celebrating and can't wait until she turns 6, so she can have another party. 

At her designated birthday table.

Running and jumping with her friend, Cayda.

A teacup ride.

She wanted a Minnie Mouse themed party.

This little girl wanted to eat every last crumb.

When she got home from her party, Papa was waiting there with her one birthday request, a pink jeep.

Thanks to all who came and celebrated!

Jungle Gym Fun

This little guy loves playing with this toy.

Children's Parade

We took the kids down the annual Children's Parade today. The girls had a blast watching the parade. I did not take many pictures because it was way too crowded to do anything but watch.

The kids getting ready. We were excited that our friend Elle joined us.

Off to give away the toys we brought.

This little guy slept though it all.
