Growing, growing, growing

 

Sophie loves to do projects, color, paint and do puzzles right now. She's so ready for school and really Sept can't come soon enough for either of us.

Gavin is seriously a huge dude! He is growing up so fast and wants so much to keep up with everything the girls are doing.

We live for sunny days, few and far between, but we definitely get out and enjoy them.

Such a funny kid, he actually rides the girls barbie cars around.

Coming in for a kiss. So cute and slobbery.

Sophie started dance this month and is so excited and loving it. Kate put on matching stuff and came along, no class yet for her. So adorable in those leotards!

First haircut for Kate, she barely moved a muscle the whole time and didn't say a word. Pretty funny to watch.

Post haircut. So cute and she is acting different, sounds strange I know, but she really is acting like a big girl now. My little Kate looks so grown up!

Started swimming lessons for the girls last night. Sophie's teacher was great, they had a blast. Way too much work for 30 mins of pool time!

What a face! I feel the same way when I have a delicious cake pop in my hand!

Christmas Morning

 Pillow Pets!

 Absolute elation over her make-up from Santa. Her response to being too young for make-up was "I will just ask Santa since he brings whatever you ask him for." Funny kid!!

Kate and her princess dresses! She loves to dress up, many costume changes each day. She's also already mastered heels! Such a girlie girl for sure!

Gavin had a blast and this ride-along toy is his absolute favorite! He is so fast and amazingly coordinated on it. He's hilarious to watch on it and totally knows it!

Christmas fun

I love Christmas! We had such a great month of celebrating. Of course an early stop was to the tree farm where Sophie picked our beautiful tree and after Mike put the lights up, decorated almost by herself.

Another moment of torture for Gavin.

Seriously, look at these guys! Thanks to GramE & Papa, they looked adorable in their Christmas outfits.

 

 

 

 

 

Santa!!

A mostly successful Santa visit. I love to look at how much the kids change
each year on Santa's lap, emotionally and physically.

Trying to catch up...

So much has happened since July and in Crin's defense our computer has been out of commission as well as in Gavin room so she wasn't able to blog at all. I hope some of these pictures can bring us up to speed from July until November. Some of the activities include summer fun at the Lake, Erin (Crin's Niece's wedding), The Stookey family camp-out, Gavin's Birthday, Halloween, Princesses on Ice and November snow fun, enjoy!
