Gearing up for Christmas

The girls are very into our Christmas decorations this year. Daddy is very into how quickly our tree sets up.
Our special s'more ornaments are our favorites.
The girls also planted our Christmas amaryllis.
Finally, also in the spirit of the holiday season, we did our civic duty and voted for our friend Tim for village trustee. Go Tim!!!

Boyfriend

 Who is this mystery man?

Not sure, but Haley appears to have enjoyed spending gymnastics class with him.

 Back home: airplane time.

 And then Cosley Zoo.

 Finally, Miss Tahnee proclaimed Stephie ready for her recital!  Just a few more days to go!

Creativity

 First, Haley took Violet for a walk.

Bummer.  That didn't last long.

 "Come take a ride in our boat!"

 Sisterly hugs in front of the tree.

 Finally, Haley put together all of these potato heads.  Some of them are a little bit creative as to the placement of their body parts.

Happy birthday Mommy!

Hmmm... not sure that's how you're supposed to use the Aqua Doodle.  

And not exactly the healthiest snack.

 That's ok, Haley was actually in a great mood today.

 And guess what?  Today is Mommy's 34th birthday.  The girls got all dressed up for dinner.

 Wow, look at that fancy cake!

 We neglected to get an actual picture of Mommy today.  That's ok, there's always 35.

Random photo recap

 Our garage construction is really shaping up!

Violet thinks it looks pretty great too.

 The girls got to see Jayda last week.

 Bobo brought new Christmas window clings today.

 Stephie got to go on an outing alone with Bobo today.

 Finally, Silent Night is really coming along!

This, of course, makes practicing a bit more challenging.
