We are busy getting ready for the kids' birthday parties (seriously next year there will be a joint party!) but we didn't want to forget to document what else is happening in our lives! Like Ashley swinging like a big girl and loving every second of it! If only Mommy could get a non-blurry picture of that big smile!
And it looks like Mommy worked herself out of a job!
Ashley continues to do better at school! She no longer cries when going into her classroom and her reports at the end of the day talk about how great she is with the other kids and how much she enjoys playing dolls with the other girls. She is eating and napping well there so we are happy! We have a feeling that when it comes to nap time they lay on their tummies and their teachers rub their backs. She has started doing that at home with her dollies!
The kids still love having smoothies! Monkey see, monkey do!
Trevor is still very into his magna-tiles building every chance he can. He's great at building containers to house his Imaginext figures.
Poor Ashley got bit by a 'friend' at school (that always cracks us up). Apparently it happened on the playground and Ashley cried out in pain and then started shaking her finger at said 'friend' and just kept repeating 'no no.' She then gathered a lot of her classmates to circle around the 'friend' and they all kept saying no no. We think the girl got the hint!
Ashley is still into shoes and tromps all around the house in Mommy's heels. She is quite the pro at it and has been ever since she started walking. She's also very into choosing her own bow. She could work a bit at matching colors to her outfit ;)
On Friday Trevor's friend Claire came over so her Mommy could take her two siblings to the doctor after bouts with a stomach virus. These two were so cute together and played so nicely together. Most of the time was spent playing Jake. Trevor was Jake and Claire was tinkerbell!
Friday night we tried out a new babysitter and went to a nearby sushi restaurant that Sara had been to twice before for lunch but Brian hadn't been there yet. It was one of those revolving sushi places and we both agreed we would definitely be back!
On Saturday morning Trevor had a birthday party at Pump It Up for one of his classmates Kenadie.
A good time was had by all!
On Saturday night the Yangs came over to celebrate the kids birthdays since they will be out of town when we have their parties. Ashley was all about Bobby!! It was a bonus that he would read to her!
They brought yummy cupcakes to celebrate. We think Ashley is going to really enjoy turning 2! She definitely understands a lot more about birthdays now then last year!
Yum!
Trevor was so excited to peel back the wrapping paper on his gift and see the Lego Advent Calendar. He had been pining over this during our trip to Target together so Auntie Julie knew just what to get!
The kids were so good after dinner, cake and presents that they went and played while the adults played Five Crowns. Of course we'll have to note that Sara won by a landslide but it was Bobby and Julie's first time ever playing so there will be a rematch. After that we played a little blackjack with the cutest dealers around :)
On Sunday we hit the outlets for a little shopping. Brian needed some new shoes and jeans and he found everything he needed, even with his little helpers in tow!
America's largest Christmas tree is in Anthem so we checked it out. Trevor couldn't believe how tall it was and can't wait to see it lit up.
We also can't forget that Toby got his first Frosty Paw treat this weekend. He wasn't so sure what to do at first but then got the hang of it and never came up for air.
Sunday evening Mommy took the kids for a little jaunt to the park with our neighbor Lisa and her daughter Gabriella. It was nice to get out and go to the little park behind their house for a change of venue. Ashley here cracked us up because she was adamant about pulling the empty wagon. Myself is her new favorite word :)
