Thanksgiving and Christmas 2019

December 2019

Adrienne and Cecilia had their first Thanksgiving project. For daycare, they had to make a turkey showing things they are thankful for. They may have had a little help from mom😉



Decorating the tree






Adrienne and I went and saw the Thanksgiving parade in Lansing. We were able to stay warm in Aunt Emily's office.




Cecilia was not thrilled about meeting Santa this year.


But she enjoyed snuggling Mom and Dad


Adrienne enjoys playing school. She knows to start the day with The Pledge of Allegiance


Adrienne saw her first movie. It was Frozen 2.

Adrienne wanted Calico Critters this year from Santa.



These girls can never get enough dancing!




Christmas Eve


Christmas morning. These dolls were probably her favorite present this year.

We had an amazing Christmas! It was so fun watching Adrienne as she now understands the excitement of Christmas. I can't wait until they both have a love for Christmas!









Fall 2019

Fall flew by! Here are some highlights and moments to remember.

Cecilia is a pro at walking. She also loves to pretend to talk on the telephone.

Fun up north


We have continued to go to the museum occasionally since we bought a membership. Cecilia still says "What's that?" all the time.






These girls have become OBSESSED with dancing. It is a daily event in our home.

Adrienne was practicing some new dance moves and wanted me to leave the room.


I found out the new dance moves were just shaking her behind ðŸ˜‚



Adrienne spells her name with the help of "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star"

We found a tomato worm in our tomato bush. Adrienne named him "Wormy" and we released him down at the park.

Our only campfire of the year. Cecilia was already in bed.


Cecilia loves to climb on chairs. She always looks at us with a mischievous grin when she is on top of a chair.

Adrienne has gotten pretty into painting.


Riding her bike





Adrienne has a "Silly Pumpkin Face" that she likes to make.



Adrienne and I went trick or treating the weekend before Halloween at all of the downtown stores. I am glad we did because on actual Halloween we had a mix of rain and snow! We ended up spending that night trick or treating at the mall, which we will NEVER do again. I think everyone in the Okemos area had the same idea that night!




At the mall on Halloween

They had a party at daycare too

Cecilia was not a fan of her ladybug costume

She preferred helping Daddy with his costume :) This was as we got ready for a Halloween birthday party for Kevin.




Adrienne likes that the song "Adrienne" by The Calling says her name 😊



Bedtime stories with Adrienne. She is getting pretty creative with these! 
Every fall needs a day in the leaves!




Happy Fall!
