Christmas Tree 2012

Early Christmas presents...

Alaina and Corinne were getting too big for the toddler bed and crib so it was time to make the big girl bed transition. They are going to share a room for the first time since a failed attempt about a year ago. Fingers crossed that the girls will love their new beds and go right to sleep tonight ;-)

Go, Dog, Go

Olivia reading to Corinne tonight... It made my heart happy ❤

Trick or Treat

 

 

 

The girls went as a Corpse Bride, Little Mermaid, and Ladybug.  It was Alaina and Corinne's first real experience with trick or treating and they loved going up to collect the candy.  Everyone is the neighborhood is so nice, it really makes for a fabulous Trick or treat around the 'hood. 

My Grandma

     
         While I'm posting about people I love who have gone on I thought it fitting to include my Grandma.  She passed in July of this year and we miss her everyday.  She was the one and only Grandma I ever had and was the epitome of a loving grandmother.   Vacations with her and my Grandpa are some of my best memories.  Camping, hiking, or just hanging out listening to everyone talk meant so much to me.   I love that she loved my little ones too.  Olivia adored her and they would go put on make up and perfume together.  Very special for a little girl to share those experiences with her great grandmother.   Hugs from us Grandma!

And a cute little Gwen photo as a bonus!

All those baby teeth I've cared for with such love are starting to fall out. She's super proud though :-)
