Snow/ Ice Days

We had a fun 4 day weekend due to some serious ice!  Our dear friends, The Harpers, stayed with us for 2 nights since they had no power.  The girls had SOOOO much fun with their besties here for 3 days!  We enjoyed being lazy and the guys took the girls sledding on Flag Pole Hill.

We started out making lots of cookies and eating most of them at the same time :)


Best friends sleepover!
 Sledding at Flag Pole Hill  They could not stop talking about how fast they went!





Girls playing in the snow- Eleanor wanted to know if we could ice skate on the pool!

I had so much fun with everyone at our house and having our Kindergartner home for some extra days

Thanksgiving

Sadly, all of my Thanksgiving pics were lost along with Amelia's & Knox's birthday.  I have these of Eleanor's school program and that is it :(

We hosted this year and it was a small group since Lynne had baby Lucy 3 days before & Caroline and Mike stayed in DC.  SO very much to be thankful for and loved being with my family.

Halloween 2013

We spent Halloween at the Halpins and trick or treated with our same crew as usual- just forgot my camera!  Knox didn't make a peep all night, Amelia was a little scared and Eleanor couldn't run fast enough to keep up with her friends and get the most candy
 

 

 

October Fun

Besides Halloween, October was full of fun!
 
Eleanor wrote her first "keep out" notes.  They read "no one in the bathroom except emergencies" and she listed every family member and "X" us out :)  I feel like that is a right of passage haha

My life!!

Eleanor got a "major big girl" outfit from Gigi against my wishes :)

Dinner with sweet friends

My "Hollywood"

Gigi took us to see Cat in the Hat at DCT

Sneak Preview- Dallas Arboretum Children's Garden

Such an amazing place to visit.  So many things to see we must go back many times.  All three kids had a ball!
