MOPS Christmas Party

This past Saturday we had our MOPS Christmas Party at my house...I totally forgot to take pictures, but I did get some pics at our December MOPS meeting: check them out here!

I officially have a photography website...although, it is still a work in progress! Staying at my mom's last night gave me a little time to work on it! Hopefully, I can get more portfolio pics on it soon! I am very excited for this new adventure, but also VERY nervous! Thank you so much to those of you who are supporting me in this crazy endeavor!

Dance Class

Dance class continues to be one of the girls favorite activities! Their favorite dance is the Freeze Dance (that's what they are doing in the above and below picture!)

Here they are getting measured for their recital costumes!! They love wearing leotards and tights, so hopefully they won't mind a cutie-pie ballerina costume!!!

Part of their class is dancing and part is tumbling...they love both! Here's Kendall trying a front roll (I've been wondering how they've gotten so good at front rolls all of a sudden, and then Kenzi told me that's what they do in their room at night before bed!! And I thought they were jumping on their beds ;))
They do the crab walk in both gymnastics and dance - they are getting better!

Making Cookies

The day after Thanksgiving, Aunt Whitney and Mckenna came over to Mimi's and we made sugar cookies! Makenzie and Kendall were very excited to "teach" Mckenna how to make cookies. They love their sweet cousin and can't wait to teach her new things as she gets bigger!

Thanksgiving Day

Happy Thanksgiving!

Yesterday morning we headed first to Nonni & Pappy's house for a Thanksgiving brunch and some time to watch the Macy's Parade. Then we headed to Pittsburgh, for a turkey dinner at Gram Hughes.

Makenzie , Kendall and Landen at the kids table...awww...Danny and Tyler aren't the "kids" anymore!!! The girls were showing Landen how to have a pretend spaghetti dinner, complete with shaky-cheese!!

Go R.J! Go Hockey!

That's what the girls were yelling at my cousin R.J.'s hockey game today. R.J. plays for a team north of Pittsburgh and they were playing here today so we took the girls along to watch him play. They were so excited to be there and to cheer! Their babies (of course) were there to cheer too! We had a nice time visiting and went out to lunch after the game.

Finally...

Yay! I finally finished Hannah & Ryan's Engagement pictures!!! HERE they are!

Happy Halloween
