The girls got a trampoline from Santa. Best gift ever. They’ll play on it for hours at a time.

Me and Stephanie before the George Strait concert. (So much fun!):
Recent trip to the zoo. Those peacocks don’t play:
I took about twelve pictures of the girls and never got one with both looking. So here they are at least both not looking:

Now that we’re zoo members, we’ll get to go any time we want!!!

Its been so long now that we went to Orlando (during Thanksgiving Break) that I can’t remember everything. So the synopsis: Our family of four joined forces with Granny, Wes, Lindsay, and Kacie to conquer the fun that is Disney and Universal Studios. I’m pretty sure that the girls, and definitely Chris and I, are bigger fans of Universal–there’s just so much more real rides that we can all enjoy. However, the entire trip was fun…and exhausting. We had to take a day to stay at the resort just to recharge!
When we planned for the trip I knew I was going to put those little backpack buddies on the girls. There was NO WAY I was going to risk losing one of my girls in a crowd as I knew others have. So it all seemed to work pretty well until Caroline met Aurora, and told her, “my parents treat me like a dog.” Thankfully, Lindsay and Casey explained to the princess that she was referring to the backpack leash and it was for her safety! How embarrassing. Glad I wasn’t around.
Both girls looove rollercoasters, thank the Lord, because I’m sure amusement parks will play a large role in our family vacations for years to come. Caroline was always willing to take pictures with characters, but Haley would not get near them! I realize that I was quite the lazy photographer on this trip. Next time I’ll preserve our memories a little better.
Oh, and Hogsmeade is amazing.
Pictures are in no particular order at all.

Caroline was adorable in her Pre-K Thanksgiving program. No kidding, she was the cutest one. She did the little dances and sang and she was front and center. Unfortunately, I only got this one good picture:
She was front and center. Just where she was meant to be!
Our Thanksgiving Break was actually spent at Disney and Universal. That’ll be the next post before I start Christmas: Phase One.

I do like to let the girls help bake. Caroline is usually the one to offer her services, but Haley got to do it this time. We made one of our favorite treats: Funfetti Cake Bars.

It kills me that I’ve waited so long to post that, in order to save time, I drastically limit the number of pictures to post from the lastest batches. There are some super cute pics that didn’t make the cut and may never be seen again. (Who wants to look at a computer for hours to see thousands of pictures?) But the ones I chose are special to me and I want to make sure they get preserved in my blog book. This post spans a couple of months and there are still at least three more posts I want to complete before Christmas. So let’s get to it:
For a small period of time, Caroline drew all her people with a really long line between their legs. She says they were peeing. Here’s the beginning of one of those drawings:
