The Nail Salon

Riley is really into painting nails these days.  She is asking us just about everyday if she can paint our nails.  Here she is giving her daddy a multi-colored pedicure.  Too cute.

Making Pizza

 There's a great pizza place by our house called the Pizza Shoppe where the kids can make their own pizzas!  Its a lot of fun and the pizza is really good.  Can't wait to go back again!

Justin Bieber!

Last week, Paige and I took Skylar to the Justin Bieber concert!  It was soooo much fun.  It brought back great memories for Paige and I as we were Skylar's age when we went to our first concert together, New Kids on The Block!  It made me feel really old but also really lucky that I got to experience the night with Skylar.  Hopefully she'll remember it for a long time to come!

Lookin super cute for the concert!

 Ready to party!

 Breakfast at Cafe Du Monde!

Christmas Wrap Up

This Christmas was truly awesome!  I loved so much watching the girls enjoy every moment of Christmas.  It was really special and it makes me feel very lucky and blessed for all the things I have.... especially our wonder family and friends!

Breakfast with Santa!  Both girls told Santa exactly what they wanted.

Love these girls!

Gram and Papa's gift exchange.  All the kids were super excited... even Evie :)

 A big thanks to everyone who helped spoil our girls and shower them with gifts.  We are blessed to have you in our lives and we love you.  Happy Holidays!

Riley Homemaker

We have really been enjoying this holiday season!  Riley has been singing christmas music, doing her advent calendars, and looking for her elf every morning!  It has been so much fun to watch her embrace all these Christmas traditions.  She particularly loves Christmas cards.  She loves when we get the mail and opens all the cards with excitement.  She was pretending to make her own cards, so we decided to make some she could send out herself.  She worked really hard on her little works of art and loved every minute of it!

 Her masterpieces.

 Today Riley made her own Christmas cookies!  We made sugar cookies and she iced them and added sprinkles..... LOTS of sprinkles.  These are some seriously crunchy cookies.  She did a great job.  We might have a future baker on our hands!

 Her delicious masterpieces.

Dora's stocking

We put up our stockings last week and Riley only had one question.  Where's Dora's stocking?  She immediately asked Dora if she wanted a stocking to which, of course, she answered yes!  So we got a stocking to decorate for Dora and it turns out, Dora wanted to decorate her own stocking....

Here's the finished product!

That girl is a mess!!

The Ranch

We had a nice and relaxing trip at the Gentry ranch!  It was great to get away and so fun to watch all the kids experience something new!  From the nature hikes, to the cow pastures, and the 4 wheelers, these kids had a blast!  Can't wait to visit again. 

Riley loved the gator!!  This was her favorite.
