Wrapping Paper!

So this year Katey & I decided we should combine her love for painting with my love for being frugal! I'm beginning the slave labor and forcing her to make our christmas wrapping paper for this year!

She REALLY Hates it :)

We have been painting our hands and doing hand prints and even got the potatoes out for some stamp/painting time today. Oh and tomorrow I'm planning on trying a trick with celery that I saw on pinterist!

But with the additive of some of my scrapbooking left overs here is the final product,

And it works for Birthday paper as well!

Such fun! Love that my little girl is so creative!

Silly Girls!

"Dolly" Had to have her "Pho shoot" too!

  Love how they make each other laugh!

Love how they make me laugh!

Love my silly silly girls!

Grammy & Grandpa Visit (Nov 12th Ish)

We LOVE us some Grammy & Grandpa time! Its been a while since the last visit and we were so excited to get the phone call that they were going to stop in on their way home from Ontario.  

Anna REALLY took to her Grandpa (and I think he kinda liked her too) he even insisted on holding her during our bbq dinner...have an awesome phone photo of her chewing on the ribs....wonder where that is?...

And of course she loved Grammy too....especially all her fun colorful jewelry!

Our fun walk on the new tickle creek trail :) 

More photos hiding in the catalogue to be edited...someday :)

Park Date! (Nov 10th ish)

Fun Sunday afternoon at the park!

Girls LOVE their Daddy!

And the swings! We go to this park specifically because Anna can fit in the swings with her brace, and she LOVES it!  

I mean, Look at that face!

A few pics of me with my girlies! Not often that happens :)

Love these sissys and how they are ALMOST to the point of being able to play together...still have to protect Anna from...too much exuberant "love" :)

Katey's first haircut & Go Ducks! (Oct 22nd Ish)

Although we want Katey to enjoy long, bang-less, hair we decided that the mullet had to go and took her to go see our good friend Jamie Pietzold for her very first haircut!  We made a girls day out of it and, even went to get frozen yogurt before!  She was SUCH a good girl!

Love this beauty!

Then later we had to get ready for the Duck game!

 Love my girls!

Bath Time! (Oct 12th Ish)

Anne's Birthday Hike

Last Saturday was Anne's birthday! We sincerely love Anne and were so excited to be invited to join her and  Seth on a birthday hike! 

Katey LOVED running ahead!

Anna LOVED being  in the pack, she just sang & laughed the whole time!

Two pink water bottles :)

Stopped for lunch :)

After lunch Katey wanted to ride in the pack :)

Katey had SOO much fun she simply couldn't handle it :)

After this we had a great dinner with them then went to the airport to get Daddy who'd been in San Fransisco the whole week! What a great day!
