Black Friday

Happy 60th Birthday Dad and Grandpa! WE LOVE YOU!!

Painting

Instead of beginning our Christmas shopping this weekend, we decided to paint our kitchen and powder room. It's been 4 years since it has been painted so we decided we needed a change. Last time we painted, it was so much fun. Just the two of us, we could take our time, listen to music and have a conversation! This time, we had to plan time to paint when the girls would be out of the way! Ava stuck her hands in the paint can several times. Mom's job was to keep the girls out of the kitchen. That meant out of the house entirely. Here are some before, during and after pictures. And for those of you who haven't seen it, check out our new wood floor. We love it!

More Cousin Fun

We are getting into the holiday spirit with the help of Emily. She decided to make a Gingerbread House with Ava. Ava had so much fun. The best part was eating the icing and the candies! Molly wouldn't eat any of the candy but liked to hold the gumdrops.

Ava's First Snowman

Ava and Emily had a very busy day on Wednesday. It has been a while since Emily has seen snow and even longer since she has played in it! Ava was so excited to help build a snowman. And Emily loved to make the snow angel.

Happy Thanksgiving!

We hope you all had a wonderful thanksgiving! We had a great day and wonderful food! We spent the day at Grandma and Grandpa's house. It was fun spending time with Aunt Ann, Emily, Uncle Ryan and Aunt Jaclyn. We stuffed ourselves with turkey, stuffing, potatoes, and of course pumpkin pie. Ava's favorite was the pie and Molly couldn't eat enough rolls! Here is a picture of Ava and Molly stuffing their faces!

Leaves, leaves leaves

This past weekend, we went over to Grandma and Grandpa's house to help with the leaves. The girls had a great time playing! Ava loved jumping in the huge piles, throwing them everyone, and collecting the "special" ones. Molly on the other hand just liked to eat the leaves! It was a warm day and it really didn't seem like work even though we collected 4 bags full. About an hour after we were finished, more leaves fell and it looked as if we could get a least 4 more bags full!
