Family/Christmas Pictures

We had the wonderful Stacey Quattlebaum take some pictures of us, and per usual- I LOVE THEM!  I was a little hesitant about getting our pictures done right before the baby is due, but I’m so glad we did this.  I loved capturing a snapshot of us as a family of four one last time.  Will cherish these forever!

Apple Picking

We loved picking apples last year so much that we made sure we visited again this year!  The girls loved climbing in the trees and picking out their favorite types.  We went a little later than we did last time and it was somewhat picked over, so note to self to make sure we go earlier next year!

Chloe’s School Birthday Party

Chloe had a great time celebrating her birthday with her school friends! Chloe picked our princess party decorations, I know the boys just loved that :)

 

The Girls

Enjoying this weather and our new bikes!

Pumpkin Patch Picnic

One of our favorite things to do is go to the pumpkin patch across the street from the girls school and have lunch with friends!  It also lends itself to some really cute photos- when my settings are right :)

 

Callie’s School Birthday Party

Think she enjoyed herself?!

Birthday Party!

This year we (I) kept it pretty low key for the girl’s birthday party.  Being pregnant I just didn’t have the energy to do a big blow out like they had last year.  However, I don’t think they minded one bit and had a blast just the same! We had it at a local park and fun was had by all!

Chicago

We headed up to Chicago with my parents for the True Value Hardware Show.  We had been to Chicago  before for my cousins wedding but we had never been to a hardware show before.

They have just about everyone thing at the show, even cute little ducks :)

We were at the show a good bit of the time, but we did manage to have some fun too!  Pizzaeria Uno is delicious!

Even made it to a Cubs game, perfect weather for it

My cousin and his wife live there so we got to spend the afternoon with them.  They are a ton of fun and love visiting when we can!

Dinner at the Big Star, every had yummy beer/margaritas, I had a coke- boo

Already trying to finagle our way back to the next Chicago show, so fun :)

First Day of Dance

The girls were so excited to start another year of dance! This is Chloe’s first year going, she’s been wanting to go for a while now.  Chloe’s class is Kinder Moves 1 and she gets to do tap and ballet. Callie’s is Kinder Moves 2 and she does tap, ballet and tumble!
