Tree Decorating

As in tradition we decorated our tree this morning - always the day after thanksgiving! Kaelin LOVED helping and was very excited. Hailey likes the lights on the tree. Both girls were very happy to see our first snow - and hold it in their hands this morning - too bad it melted away by 11am!

Thanksgiving 2009

Thanksgiving was a fun day! We started at Cindy and Keith's for brunch and then moved to the Magee's Thanksgiving at Aunt Ruth and Uncle Gary's. The kids were suprisingly good seeing as how they didn't get naps! Kaelin loved to play with her second cousins - we almost forgot she was there at one point, she was playing so quietly! Hailey was a ham and loved sitting with Papa.

Here are some pictures from our day.

Amy made Grandma Magee's Pinneapple pie - so we had to take a picture.

Hailey loves PIE!!

Kraynak's

On Tuesday Justin and I took the girls to Kraynak's - a lawn/garden and Christmas Wonderland Center! They have a wonderful walkway decorated with at least 10 different Christmas scenes to view. They even had Mickey and Sesame Street! Kaelin loved it and loved getting candy from Santa. Hailey loved seeing all the lights, but started screaming the minute we went near Santa! We were not too suprised by her reaction. Here are a few pictures:

Fall Fun

Monday night I made Jello Pudding - Pumpkin Spice flavor (FYI - not that great!). However as you can see below...Hailey and Dominic LOVED it!

Today we went over to Amy and Brad's and 'borrowed' their leaves. **Thank You Uncle Brad for raking them into nice piles for us!** Kaelin and Dominic had a blast. Surprisingly, *sarcasm*, Hailey hated being in the pile!

Hailey did think it was fun to watch the other two playing though - as she wandered around the yard.Kaelin piled up a nice cozy bed - and told us she was sleeping.
I tried to get a cute picture, but as you can see, Hailey was not impressed by the leaves.
Kaelin LOVES walking, playing, burying, throwing etc. She loves the leaves during fall!
Hailey kept doing a dance. She would squat down and say, "Ah, Ah, Ahhh!". I thought it was funny. The picture doesn't do it justice.

Halloween 2009

Our Halloween weekend was BUSY! Friday night we went trick or treating at the Southern Park mall with Aunt Amy and Dominic (Cookie Monster). Saturday we went trick or treating at Papa and Nana Theodore's (Uncle Brad's parents), our neighborhood, and then to Great-Grandparents Howell's (Grandma Barb's parents). Sunday we went into Grove City and saw: Papa Tom and Grandma Barb, Great Grandparents Magee, Great Grandparents Trezona and Grandma Cindy and Papa Keith!

The girls were great with their costumes - I was shocked at how well Hailey put up with hers! Kaelin had a rough night sleeping Saturday - waking up every hour or so - I think due to the SUGAR! It was so much fun this year!

Here are some pictures:

This is not the best picture - but it is the only one I have of the two girls together!

Here are 2 pictures - Hailey poised to run off and Hailey running!

P.S. I am not sure why blogspot is bolding and underling my captions - but I had to give up fixing them, or I am not going to get a shower before naptime is over! :)
