Thanksgiving Week

I was on vacation this past week and really enjoyed spending time with B and B! On Tuesday, B and B had their Thanksgiving feast at school. I was very impressed at how well behaved the preschoolers were. B and B's teacher, Mrs. Gloria, came up to me and told me how well B and B were doing in school. She said that they do well with redirection and that they behave better than some of the older kids in their class. She also said that they do a really good job using scissors and that they cut out the feathers for their headdresses all by themselves. After preschool that day, B and B had their 3 year doctor's appointment. Brody weighed 35lbs. (90%) and was 3 ft. 3.5 in. (75%). Brynn weighed 37 lbs. (95%) and was 3 ft. 4 in. (90%). Dr. Gilmer said that they were doing great and that she thought Brody would outgrow his reactive airway disease. She is hoping that this will be the last winter we have to use his nebulizer.

We celebrated Thanksgiving with Mom, Fred, and John at our house this year. Later that afternoon, we celebrated Thanksgiving with the Maddens. B and B had a lot of fun getting to see everyone! We only did a little Black Friday shopping this year. B and B are still not very good shoppers and it was so cold out. Last night, we took B and B to Christmas in the Park. They really enjoyed seeing all the lights. We had a great week, but it just went by too fast!

Tea Party

Brynn received a tea set for her birthday from G-ma, so we have been having tea parties. B and B have a lot of fun dressing up in my stuff, especially Brynn! Here's a picture from our party the other night.

Family Pictures

Last month, we had our family/B and B's 3 year pictures taken. We were really excited to have our pictures taken outside. It was the first time we had been inside of Unity Village and we thought it was really beautiful! Here's some of our favorites:

Halloween 2011

We had a great Halloween! The weather was perfect. Brody dressed up as Spiderman and Brynn dressed up as Cinderella this year. We took B and B to their Fall Festival at their preschool. They had boothes set up all around the gym with different activities for them to participate in. There was a bean bag toss, mini golf, sugar cookie decorating, cake walk, nerf gun shooting, etc. They received candy for every activity they tried. Then we came home and took B and B trick-or-treating around our neighborhood. While we were out, we came across a trunk-or-treat in the parking lot of a local church. I was really impressed at how decorated some of those trunks were. Brynn and I decided to come home to hand out candy while Daddy and Brody went trick-or-treating some more. Brynn and I sat on our front step waiting for trick-or-treaters and she would get so excited everytime someone would come! Brody enjoyed handing out candy when he got back too. They were very generous to everyone who came to our house:) B and B wore their costumes all night and even wanted to wear them to bed! It was so fun to see them so excited!
