Christmas Lights

Mike and Tim put the lights up on the house. It takes Tim's gigantic ladder to get to the second story. It is quite an ordeal, but they look really pretty. Arya helped Mike organize the lights on the driveway before the Hughes family came over to help hang them up.

Hair Bows

Arya likes to wear ribbons in her hair. This is a fact that makes me very happy, since I love to do her hair. Now that she actually has enough hair to put up in pony tails and clips. She usually tells me when she wants bows and if she wants one or two.

My mom and my sister and I were out at a craft boutique last weekend and someone was selling homemade hair bows. I thought Arya would love them. They were very cute, but not $10-$15 cute. For that I could make my own. I went home looked online and found out how to make hair bows. They are pretty east to make and Arya loves them!

Turkey Art Project

Just about everyday Sophia and Arya ask if we can do a project. I usually am up for something. Painting isn't an everyday project though. We do lots with stickers and gluing and coloring, but painting becomes a BIG project. Most days we do our projects after naps in the afternoon so Mackenzie is here and can participate. She likes to make things too. Mackenzie helped by tracing all the feathers to paint. Then we set up to paint.


Their turkeys turned out very cute!!!

Movie Time

Today, Arya and her daddy went to the movies. They went to Madagascar 2. We watched the first one last night, Arya likes this movie. We told her she would be going to the movies with her daddy in the morning. She has a great memory, as soon as she woke up she wanted her socks and shoes on so she could go to the movies. The movie didn't start for more than 2 hours after she woke up. She asked every few minutes if it was time to go. She got her candy ready as well as her movie cup and carried them around until they left.

She sat really well through the movie. Mike said he liked this one better than the first one. As they were walking down the stairs Arya said, "That was a GREAT movie!" Then as they were leaving they walked by a group of people waiting in line for the next show. Arya made them laugh by singing, "I like to move it, move it."

Arya and her daddy have such a fun time going to the movies.

My little pill bug!

Arya sometimes is just plain silly. Her tunnel was half open, so Arya decided to crawl inside it. She hid there for quite a while. Then she decided it would be more fun to stand up. She looked hilarious. She looked like a giant pill bug walking around. Mike and I had a good laugh, she played in her little tunnel for over 20 minutes.
