Francisco's Birthday

We were happy to host a small birthday party for our nephew Francisco.  It was all smiles, and he was so excited!

Pheris Thanksgiving

We hosted the Pheris side of the family to have an early Thanksgiving together at our house.  Lots of great food was eaten, and lots of laughs were had.  It is great to be able to get everyone together under one roof every once in a while!

Emma's Field Trip

Emma's class went on a field trip to Old MacDonald's Farm in Humble, and I was happy to chaperone.  Emma was paired up with a friend, and they led the way to whatever they felt like doing.  It was a beautiful day and she had a great time!

Girls First Aggie Football Game

We made an impromptu trip to College Station on 11/14 to see the Aggies play Western Carolina.  Emma had been to a Maroon and White game when she was a baby, but this was the first true Aggie football game for both of them.  They had gotten practice on behaving at games going to watch their cousin Julius play this season for his high school, and they behaved very well!  Emma stayed attentive the whole time, while Abby fell asleep on Momma around the end of the third quarter.  It was a great trip to Aggieland!

Sweet Girls

Emma drew a family picture and wanted a real photo taken with her sister!

Happy Rainy Halloween

The girls were looking forward to trick or treating door to door like they have every year of their lives.  Unfortunately, for the first time their fun was thwarted by severe thunderstorms.  Luckily for us, Aunt Pat and Uncle Gary let us know their church was having an indoor Halloween festival.  The church provided cotton candy, popcorn, drinks, and LOTS of booths where the kids could play games and trick or treat.  They had an inflatable obstacle course and face painting too!  While it wasn't what they envisioned their Halloween to be, they ended up having a lot of fun and filled their bags!

Halloween Parade

Emma and Abby both dressed up and went to school on Friday to participate in the Character Parade.  They got to walk to the other campus past all of the parents and family members.  They felt super special and loved being the center of attention.

Pumpkin Carving

Poppa and Uncle Eric came over to help Dada carve pumpkins.  Emma wanted Snow White, and Abby wanted My Little Pony.  We think they turned out great!

Dance Halloween Party

 

The girls attend ballet and tap classes at Baytown Dance Company.  They dressed up for class this week so they could have a Halloween party with their friends, and the shared some spooky goodie bags with them.  As you can see, they had fun!

Fall Crafts

Emma's Kindergarten teacher Mrs. Murray has classes for kids every few months.  Sometimes she does cooking classes, sometimes music classes, and, like today, she sometimes does craft classes.  We did not quite know what to expect when they went this morning, but we were very happy with the results!  Both girls made each of the types of crafts shown, which we will be able to use throughout the holiday season this year and for many years after.  They were excited to show off the things they made and were so proud!
