Snowballs

We went to holiday int he park again this year. The girls had a blast. Anne zoomed down the snow slide on her inner tube and Abby enjoyed the snowballs.

Home Depot

A few weeks ago we took advantage of Home Depot's free project day. It was wonderful. The girls each got their own kit and apron. Daddy helped Anne and I helped Abby. We finished first,not that it was a competition. Anne made a tool box like Papa's and Abby made a spice rack that we turned into a book holder.

Ho, Ho, Ho!

Our first visit to see Santa this season.

Baba

"Baba" is how Abs pronounces baby.

Abby loves babies, specifically baby dolls. She hugs, rocks, feeds, and loves them. It gives me a rare glimpse of her gentle side. She's normally rambunctious, vocal, and just plain wild.

Halloween 2010

Almost all of us enjoyed Halloween this year. Scott had to go to work so Papa and Gra'ma helped me take the girls around the neighborhood. Anne couldn't wait to carve her pumpkin and go trick-or-treating. Abby seemed enthusiastic until we got going. She wanted to stop and eat her candy after each house.
We didn't do that.
She threw many loud fits.
I didn't pack Mr. Sad Spoon.

You could hear us coming.

Anne was not phased by any of this and had a great time. When she was complimented on her fairy wings Anne replied, "My mom got them at the Goodwill." No secrets with kids.

My sweet Anne!
(Papa cut her hair)

Enjoying the fruits of her labor. I let her eat it until bath time was finished. I had to pry it out of her still sticky hands and she of course screamed bloody murder.

San Fran 2010

We went to visit Grammy and Grandpa in San Fransisco in mid October and as a bonus we got to see Uncle Andy, Aunt Kayla, Aidan and Jonah. We had a wonderful time as usual and can't wait to go back, Margo/Grammy spoiled us rotten! Here is what we did in no particular order.

East Texas State Fair 2010

We had a great time at the fair this year. This year the girls were old enough to enjoy the rides and different exhibits. We had a blast!

Dinner and a Show
We ate hamburgers, hot dogs, and cheetos while watching the sea lions perform.
