Fresh Air & Family Time

A few weekends ago ( I am way behind again on this blog) was a beautiful weekend with perfect fall like temperatures.  Soccer was cancelled due to rain the day before and we had absolutely nothing to do all weekend -- which is pretty rare.   Lily was bummed that we had nothing to do and immediately started complaining about being bored.  But we spent most the weekend outside playing and just hanging out, and by Sunday night she couldn't stop saying that it was the best weekend ever!!  

Lily is so graceful. :)

I love this girl and her crazy personality!! These pictures pretty much capture the many sides of Lily. 

playdates

These girls have SO many friends and so many playdates that I can't possibly take pictures of all of them or even keep track.  Lily usually has 2-3 a week (on top of dance, soccer, etc) and lately Dani has been joining her on some which of course Dani just LOVES!!  Here are some pics from some recent playdates.

Dani and Macy -- Lily and Abby were around somewhere.

 Dani at her Friday playgroup which is filled with friends.

The gang all headed to Avery and Ella's house after school one day.

Miss Thing

She is too cute with her "Anna braids", sunglasses and just regular "Dani-ness"!!

All I want for Christmas . . .

Lily top right tooth has been hanging on for dear life for some time now.  She finally lost it Wednesday at school!!  She even pulled it herself, which is huge deal for Lily!

She looks so cute -- and even has a little lisp now!

Preschool!

Dani is absolutely loving school and looked forward to it all week.  Both Monday and Wednesday when I picked her up, this is how I found her:

 Sweet baby girl is passed out.  They said even non nappers will nap during nap time since they do so much and wear them out.  I didn't think it was possible with Dani!!  Apparently I was wrong.

Mrs Marianne sent me this picture.  She loves Dani and the feeling is mutual -- apparently they were taking selfies at school!  :)

Playdate

Tuesday after school Lily went over to play at Abby's house -- and so did Dani, Ella, Avery and Courtney!  It is great since Abby and Avery have little sisters that are only about a year older than Dani. So they all got along splendidly -- at least that was the rumor!

Brownies!

Lily decided to continue on with Girl Scouts this year -- but she has graduated from Daisys to a Brownie!  She is even more excited since her good friend Abby decided to join our troop.

Happy 4th Birthday Ella

Chip is really working on winning husband of the year.  Not only did he encourage me to go to the Cowboy game instead of him (they are his team!), he even took the girls to Ella's 4th birthday party while I was at the game!!  They had a blast at the bounce house place.  Julie, Ella's mom, sent me these pictures.
