November Birthdays...and some October fun too!!

I didn't realize how long it's been since I posted until my sweet friend reminded me last night! : )
November is busy for us with Hollyn and Brent's birthdays. Brent's parents came for Hollyn's birthday weekend. She loved every part of her birthday!
I have enjoyed having the whole week off for Thanksgiving! Brent had to work Monday and Tuesday but now he is off so we are going to take the girls to a movie and then get ready for Thanksgiving with my family tomorrow. This might be the first year I don't do Black Friday shopping...I hate that so many stores are opening on Thanksgiving : (
I hope you all have a Happy Thanksgiving!!

 The girls wanted to have a little party for daddy. Earlier we surprised him at school with lunch. The girls liked playing in daddy's room with his listening center.

 My cake helpers! Marina said that we should start a cake making business!!

 The girls playing together with Hattie's innotab....sometimes they can be so sweet : )

 We braved the cold on Saturday night to go to the Firewheel parade and tree lighting. Hattie was go crazy when she saw Santa on the parade.

 Hollyn's actual birthday! We made another trip to Chuck E Cheese...yay!!Gaga and Papa met us there since they missed Hollyn's party.

 Birthday party at Bounce Town!

 Look at all those girls! I think we had 14 girls and 3 boys!

 Nana and Papa got Hollyn a strider bike and she is pretty good at riding it around the block.

 That afternoon she crashed with Minimus

 Riding the train at the mall...Nana is a trooper : )

 Halloween with some neighbor friends...Ruthie came too but she was taking pictures ( like she always does!)

 Hattie's last soccer game of the season! She sure surprised us with how well she did. Most of the other games she preferred sitting on the bench, but her last game she got out an ran and kicked the ball.

Fall Fun!!

 We have been loving all of the fun fall festivies in Texas this last month. We had the fair, soccer games, birthday parties and, of course, a few fall festivals. They love their fall festivals down here!!

This week the girls have two Halloween parties and then in a couple of weeks Nana and Papa will be here for Hollyn's 3rd birthday! This month is flying by!

 Hattie wanted a princess pumpkin and Hollyn wanted a cat...this is how they turned out!!

 I let the girls paint most of the pumpkin  ( I could always go back and touch up)

 While we had the paint out I figured we could repaint Braedon's old toy box. I remember painting that thing blue about 9 years ago!

 

Hattie won the medal for determination.

 Go Team Cookie Goal!!


Saturday we had two festivals:
The first one was at Firewheel mall. We went with my sister and her two girls. They had a blast!

 Then that evening our subdivision had a family fest for the neighbors.

 Hollyn won the cake walk!!

 Going for a ride in the train!

 Pajama day at church! Cute pajamas sent from Nana and Papa from Yellowstone.

 Hollyn and her best friend, Carter at his b-day party today. They are SO cute!!

 Earlier this month my niece turned 6!!

 This is one of my favorite pictures of Hollyn!

They both got on their phones one day to call Ruthie they were saying " Ruthie come over to our house!"
