Happy Thanksgiving/Chanukah

We went to Mimi and Papa's this weekend for Thanksgiving.  And we are so lucky that Auntie Stephanie, Uncle Mike, Kayla and Allie were able to join us.  I didn't get a lot of Thanksgiving pictures, but did get some other fun stuff, including the Chanukah celebration!

Here were the 3 older girls setting the Thanksgiving table:

We also celebrated cousin Kayla's 3rd birthday.  Mimi let all of the girls sneak a finger full of frosting before cutting the cake:

The older girls helping Mimi and Papa out in the kitchen:

Emma and Sarah love babies. And apparently babies love them! Allie spent most of Thursday climbing on Emma and giving her hugs:

 Papa and his little ducklings:

Chanukah was tons of fun, particularly finding all the gifts on the table:

 Allie was less interested in her own presents that helping Sarah with hers:

Kayla got a new Ariel dress for her birthday.  So all the girls dressed up as princesses and put on a great show!  But first it was picture time:

Then it was show time:

Then show 2:

What a great weekend. Thank you Mimi, Papa, Aunt Steph, Uncle Mike, Kayla & Allie for spending the holiday with us!

Snow fun!

With all the snow yesterday, and the sunshine today, it was a great day for sledding!  Sarah was a little tentative at first, going down with daddy:

Then down came Emma:

Sarah getting braver, coming down with her sister:

Then came brave Emma on her belly:

And finally, Sarah braving it on her own.  After the first time, turns out she liked it best on her own:

Happy Halloween

 A little late, but here are the girls costumes.  Emma, sadly was sick the Friday before. So she missed all her school halloween activities.  But Sarah got to get all dressed up to go to school:

 Thankfully, by Halloween night, she was well enough to get in a little trick- or - treating.  They looked so cute together as Paw Patrol members!

Hip Hop

As promised, here is Emma's recital hip hop routine (at least the start of it).

Emma dance

Here is Emma practicing her Jazz recital number.  I hope to be able to video Hip Hop next week:

Pumpkins

We went to the pumpkin patch with Mimi and Papa 2 weekends ago.  What fun the kids had:

Family train ride:

 Learning how people washed clothes in the old days:

The favorite part might have been the hay stack:

Finally, the ever popular pig chase:

And our decorated pumpkins:

Sarah dance

Sarah has starting learning her recital numbers.  She has a really good attention span, at least compared to the others in her class. First up, ballet:

Then tap:

I will try to get videos of Emma learning her routines this week and post them too!
