Preschool Christmas Program

One word. ADORABLE.

Godparent's Christmas Party

Yummy food, wonderful friends/family, love and laughter. A perfect evening!

Christmas Card

Our three little lovelies. We graciously gave up on the idea of getting a picture with them all together. Therefore it was actually an enjoyable experience rather then the screaming, bribing, embarassing scene that it typically is :-)

Evi-isms

Time for an Evi-ism update. Have to jot these down so I can torture her with them in coming years :-)

-Your understanding of time is limited. Naturally,  as is your age. Your favorite unit of time is: A couple of whiles.
"Mommy, are we going to stay home for a couple of whiles today?"

-Downstores. This continues to be they way you say downstairs. Not sure what dialect it is other then not ours.

-Snanks. As in "Snanks for my snack". This pattern also holds true for "stree" (3).

I often forget she is still only three since she's the size of some 5 year olds! She's as equally entertaining as she is exhausting though for the record she is definitely my cleanest child. Always the first one to put her clothes in the laundry bin and rarely needs to be asked . She has also finally decided to let us cuddle with her. I LOOOOVEEE it!

Wearing daddy's bathrobe from when he was little.

It's The Holiday Season...

Santa came to church! Evi asked for a blue kitty purse and Soph asked for a boy beach barbie. Eleni asked for Santa not to come near her. EVER.

We had a little daily hat parade to display how ridiculously many hats Eleni has. And this is only a small fraction!

Off to get the yearly Christmas tree. One of my all time favorites this year!

Thanksgiving at Yia Yia's!

We spent a WHOLE week at Yia Yia's (with a quick trip to see GG & G too) for Thanksgiving. We had so much fun spending time with our cousins and getting Yia Yia's house ready before her back surgery. We took a trip to EnterTRAINment Junction and saw some incredible train displays, santa, Mrs. Claus & a fun house (which made mommy and daddy nauseous because apparently we are old :-o ). 

Halloween Adventures

We celebrated Halloween several times this year. Here are a few pictures from out adventures...

Trick or Treating at the Kenny's

 

Yet another of Eleni's many costumes 

Ballet (and tap) Beauties

The girls are loving their ballet and tap lessons. We were able to take a sneak peek at what they've been working on. There were as cute as can be! I will post video after the next observation class once they've started working on their recital routine.

 

Traverse City Getaway!

We had a fabulous long weekend up north in Traverse City at the Kenny's cottage. The weather was unseasonably warm the first two days and then unseasonably cold the last. We packed in the fun with wine tastings, cooking dinner, boat rides, fishing and picking out some pumpkins. It was SO much fun (I think the kids had fun too :-) ) We are so blessed to have such wonderful friends and it's always great to have all our little ones and their BFFs together!
