Random fun photos!

This time of year is always so busy for us(but it's our absolute favorite so we wouldn't change a thing).  Mama is the queen of decorating and of course I go all out with decorating the house and the kids enjoy it more and more each year.  Phia got her dance competition costume for "Rockin' Robin" and it's beyond beyond adorable.  She has to wear special tap shoes(Sansha's) and all the dance mama's are getting together to spray paint them glitter red to match their costumes and of course we've already spent time rhinestoning...I can't figure out if I love that part of it's the bane of my existence.  Such a special time of year.  Next on the agenda is planning Presto's 5th birthday party...still cannot believe our sweet boy is going to be 5.  So very bittler sweet...mostly sweet but so hard to see them getting big and (somewhat) independent.  He definitely doesn't look like a toddler anymore.  His legs have gotten so long and he's lost all his baby fat.  He also is very bashful about mommy kissing him in front of his friends...it's starting already sigh...

Thanksgiving 2014

Turkey Day this year was all about family and relaxation.  We stayed local and went to Nana's and stuffed our faces.  She had tons of crafts for the kiddos and made an awesome turkey out of fruit and of course topped it with whipped cream so the kids went nuts.  On our way home from Nana and Nonno's we made our first trip to see our favorite Christmas lights in town.  This house is the kids favorite as they have every single Disney character outside and they have "eye spy" games for the kids to play along with.  This year of course, they included all the Frozen characters:)

Preston's last baseball game of the season!

One of our most favorite things to do these past few months was to watch Preston play baseball.  It's helped so much with his confidence and concentration.  He got to be umpire a few times which he loved but he most loved being up to bat of course.  At first he couldn't even stand still in the outfield and by the end he was "baseball ready" nearly all the time.  He has an amazing swing which doesn't surprise us since he's super coordinated and athletic already.  Such a fun season and he's already talking about Spring ball...can't wait!! He's our little baseball stud:):)

Preston got his yellow belt!

Today was a very big day for Preston! He received his yellow belt and a trophy at taekwondo.  He was so very proud and so are we! He knew his form perfectly and was beaming when they handed him the trophy:)
