Thanksgiving Day 2011

Helping Momma clean the spoon!

Looking BEAUTIFUL!

It was peaceful until I took the picture.

Static Hair

Yesterday it was 61 degrees outside. We had thunderstorms and tornados.

Today it is 39 degrees outside.

This is what happens to your hair when you play on the slide, indoors during the winter.

STATIC eclectricity!

Back to Blogging!

Just like Aunt Kristen, we are going to try and start again.

First Snow of 2011!

It snowed Sunday night. We woke up to 3 inches and we are expecting another 1-2 inches tonight. Of course, it was a Snow Day for all 3 of us. Daddy had to use his 4-wheel drive to get to work. Momma took us outside to play. We were double layered, and stayed warm and dry.

Yay!

Riley crawled all over the side yard, and made it all the way down the driveway to the street.

Of course Momma had to go down and drag her back up the hill, to the garage.

Emily was not so sure of the snow. It is cold and wet. Riley and Momma are CRAZY!

Snow Angel!

Girl's Only Week!

This week Daddy went out of town to North Carolina for work. Us girls stayed home and started back to school and work. We had a good time, but were gald to see Daddy come home.

Helping Momma get dinner ready.

Riley started back to school on Tuesday. She had a great week, but ended up with a light case of the stomach virus and spent Saturday not feeling well.

Riding my bike, just like Riley.

Emily is continuing to do noew things everyday. She is getting bigger and trying everything that Riley does.

Happy Birthday!

Riley celebrated her birthday 3 different times this year. What a lucky girl!

Merry Christmas!

We had a great Tennessee Christmas. Santa was good to the girls and we hosted the Shyblosky family at our house for lunch.

I'm dreaming of a white Christmas. This is what we woke up to. The first white Christmas in Nashville in 17 years. We ended up with almost 2 inches by the end of the day.

Mimi and Papa gave Emily her first baby doll stroller. It was a hit with both girls.

Come on Emily, SMILE!

YAY!

2:30 in the aftermoon. It continued to snow through the night and Sunday.

Santa Clause!

Yesterday we went to see Santa Clause. This was our 2nd time to see him. Riley loves him and is always excited. Emily had no problem the first visit, but this time she did not want to be put down. Oh well.
As most of you know, Riley is losing teeth and Emily is cutting teeth. Both girls are cutting their two top teeth at the same time. Our theme this year is...All I Want for Christmas is My 2 Front Teeth.

Halloween!

Well, as you all know, Halloween was on Sunday this year. Our day was spent going to church, Sonic lunch at the park, and naps. After a great dinner made by Mimi, Mom and Emily went Trick-or-Treating and brought home alot of candy. No one could resist my cute little sister dressed up like a giraffe. Dad and I stayed home and passed out candy while we danced to Hannah Montana music videos.

Yay!

Yay!

Yay!

Pumpkin Patch!

On afternoon after preschool, Mom took us to the local United Methodists Church to pick out a pumpkin. I had a great time. Emily did not. She was tired.

I think...

this one!

I like this one!

Who's idea was it to sit me in this itchy hay with my overly excited big sister!

We Love Boobies!

On Saturday, October 9th, Mom and Emily walked 3 miles in the Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure in honor of Grandma. She is a 1 year survivor of breast cancer. Emily raised $110.00 from friends and family to donate. Mom says it took her 45 minutes to push Emily through the 3 mile course.

Finish Line!

Walking 3 miles is tiresome!

We love you Grandma.

Lazy Sunday!

A few weeks ago, we skipped church and went out to the great fall weather. We went to a state park and saw the leaves changing colors. Dad treated us to lunch at the lodge on the lake.

As always, Mom and Dad found us some swings. What girl doesn't enjoy a good swing!

Apple Pickin!

We went apple pickin this weekend. Due to the heat this summer, all the apples had been picked early. So we missed it, but we enjoyed an apple slush and visiting with family.

Mimi with Emily and Riley. Go Vols!

Cousins! It's amazing we got them all to sit still for 5 seconds.

Love this!

Growing Up!

Last week was busy of course. Here is a little idea.

First time sitting up in the shopping cart. It's a whole new word.

"Wow Riley, that is soooo cool!" says Emily.

Emily's gears are stuck in reverse. She traveled from this toy to the love seat, scooting on her tummy.

Watching for Riley to get off the school bus.

Next drummer in the family? Just like Grandad and Uncle Jonathan.
