Hailey had her pre-school christmas program last night. She's been singing Christmas songs constantly for the last couple of weeks, but she didn't do much singing in the program. I think she was enthralled by all the big kids who were singing with her. Even though she didn't sing much she looked cute and did a lot of the actions. Santa came and Hailey and Aida were both brave enough to sit on his lap.

Christmas Dresses
















I just got the girls Christmas pictures back. There were some great ones. Here are a few of my favorites. Thanks to Emily's friend Leah she did a fantastic job.

Last Beautiful Day of Sunshine











We have had such beautiful weather...it did snow today, but last week we had so much fun outside here are a few pictures of the girls playing outside. Aida LOVED the swing! They also enjoyed playing in the playhouse.

Christmas Before Thanksgiving
















Yesterday officially started the Christmas Decorating Season for me. I did my first tree or rather first 5 trees. When I got there Nicole had all the new ornaments she bought at the end of the season spread out in her guest room, it was really more like a store. It reminded me of decorating at Taipan because I had so much to choose from. It

was a lot of fun and believe it or not she still has one more tree to decorate, it's one I usually do, but I think her wallet was feeling it after 8 hours so she's going to attempt it herself. Thanks to Aunt Kathy for watching the girls, they had so much fun. Hailey adores Carissa and was thrilled to take a nap in her bed and to play with her when she woke up.

My Polka Dot Girls




The girls looked so cute in their polkadots that I thought I'd take a picture. It was right before preschoo

l and Hailey was not feeling like a photo shoot, but Aida sure was happy.

We had Cline family pictures the other day, it was crazy trying to get everyone to pay attention, but somehow enough of them turned out.

Jogging in the cold

It's starting to get cold outside and just when I was getting back into jogging.(I haven't really jogged since the 15k in July) I couldn't stand to give it up just because it's getting cold, but I also couldn't stand for the girls to freeze just because I needed to exercise. So....I decided to make a cover for my jogger. It was actually pretty easy Hailey helped me make it. Hailey & Aida love it. They stay warm and cozy and I get my exercising in. Thought I'd share a picture of how silly they look.

I've finally decided to join the blogging world. This is my first attempt, hopefully I'll get faster.

We've been working on costumes for what seems like forever and Halloween is finally almost here. Hailey has been begging to wear her Belle costume to pre-school and she'll finally be able to on Thursday.
Aida looks thrilled to be a flower....She does like to pull the hat down over her eyes.

Aida and I just went for a jog in the SNOW. I can't believe it actually snowed. I bundled Aida up in Hailey's cozy snowsuit and she quite enjoyed the jog. It looks like we may actually have snow on the grass soon.
