All Dressed for Christmas

The girls have to pick out and wear Christmas Dresses every year. This year they choose the same dress and they had to take a picture in front of our Christmas Tree. It was one of the best pictures that we have from the girls!!!

Family Pictures

Every year we like to take new family pictures and give them (and hopefully recieve them) as gifts for christmas. As we were getting ready to decided on pictures this year my oldest brother (who is making that big jump into homeownership) did them as a gift for us. We went out to Fairmont Park in Riverside and took pictures out on a bridge just as the sun was setting. Here are the best of the photos...

All I want for Christmas is my bottom tooth!

I can't believe that we have a child that has lost a tooth already. About a week ago Kyla came to us saying that her tooth was loose. She spent about a week wiggling it and playing with it. Last night Sean finally helped finish the tooth and Kyla lost her first tooth. She was so excited and loves the "hole in her mouth". The tooth fairy knew that a first tooth is very important and she gave Kyla a unicorn stuffed animal. She loves her doll that she calls Princess. It is so exciting to see new stages of life coming to pass and it is also heart breaking to see how fast my girls are growing up.

Trick or Treat

This was a fun Halloween. Kyla knew what was coming and enjoyed every second of it and the anticipation of it. Aubree caught on really well. We started the festivities at our ward trunk or treat. The girls had a lot of fun with their friends from church. That is were Aubree learned what it means to go trick or treating. We then had school on the day of Halloween. Kyla was allowed to wear her costume to school and participated in the parade the school had. I had to dress up for school also which meant that I had to work on sewing Kyla's costume and my own. That night we got dressed up and as a family went trick or treating. The girls had so much fun, but learned they didn't want to walk that much and we had to pull them in the wagon.

School Awards

In October Bautista Creek had the first awards ceremony for Kindergarten. Kyla recieved an award for being an honest student. She was so proud and excited. We are so proud of how how well she is doing in school. She really loves to go to school and is at the top of her class.

Now they are 5 and 3

The girls are growing up so fast. It is amazing how quick the time goes. Back in September the girls celebrated their birthday in a small family way. We had their party to celebrate Kyla's fifth and Aubree's third birthday. The night before the party we went to Red Robin that just opened in Hemet. The waiter found out that it was both the girl's birthday's and brought a Turlte Pie slice. It was great and tasted so good Aubree decided she couldn't stop. The next day we went to the park and had a small amount of family join us for a party with a few friends that stopped by. It was a great day to just celebrate another great year for the girls with close friends and family.
