Happy Thanksgiving 2014

Thanksgiving is one of our favorite holiday of the year!  I did not take as many photos as usual this year, but did get one of the kid's table.  From left to right: Kay, Lauren, Kali, Emily, and Amanda.

Kay getting ready to pin the hat on the turkey. 

We played Thanksgiving bingo too. 

And a few rounds of Just Dance!

This year I made a french apple tart for one of the dessert options.  It was a wonderful celebration and we are so thankful for our family and friends.  :)

Emily's Star Student Poster and Happy Kitchen Mini Burger and French Fries

Emily was Star Student last week!  She completed this poster and presented it to her class.

We recently went to Uwajimaya and tried to buy hamburger shaped chocolate treats but ended up mistakenly buying a Happy Kitchen mini burger and french fries kit.  The girls had a fun time putting it together. 

We had to watch a video about it on You Tube to figure out what to do... it's kind of strange and we decided it was probably best to not eat it. :P

Holiday Ornaments and Playground Fun

Snow-less Snow Day

School was cancelled on Friday due to wintry mix weather and freezing rain! The girls were excited to wear their new winter coats even though we ended up staying inside for most of the day. 

Lauren smiling. 

Emily laying on the floor being silly. 

We had a fun day lounging around in our warm house!

Dental check up and other random photos...

It was time for another dental check up! Here is Lauren getting her teeth cleaned.

At the end of the check up, each patient receives a token to redeem for a free prize!

Girls playing doctor... Lauren brought Betty the bunny to the clinic to get a splinter removed from her foot. 

Emily checking Betty's heartbeat. She is healthy!

Triple Birthday Party Weekend

The girls were lucky enough to get invitations to three birthday parties in one weekend! Here is Lauren posing for a photo with the birthday girl, Ries.

Emily and the birthday girl!

So many Elsa's and Anna's all in one room!

The girls' celebrated their friend Charlotte's birthday at Pump It Up.

Lights out!

The girls' friend Aero had an art party at Young Art.  Everyone enjoyed the art lesson!

So slimy!

The finished pumpkins!

Lauren dressed up as a ladybug this year, and Emily was a pumpkin.

Auntie Kimberly always has the best Halloween pumpkins!  

Me and the girls. :)

Justin's costume was not very comfortable or easy to see out of, but the girls loved it!
