Cienna - 6 Years, 10 Months... Kaylee - 4 Years, 5 Months!

It's nice that Togo's for dinner gets to happen when it's a school fundraiser.  Then lots of dress-up activities followed with Trunk or Treat Festivities, a Birthday Luau for Alexa's 4th, continuing with Red Ribbon Week, including a very last minute homemade super hero costume from leftover material found in the closet, ending in Halloween on Friday.  Nope, that wasn't the end since the Bakx/Chavez/etc. Rocktoberfest happened Saturday night.  So many late nights, but so much fun with friends, and plenty of dancing, had to happen!  We also fit in our pumpkin carving, but no baked seeds this year.

The girls got an extra early Christmas present from Grammy and Grandpa this year, since gymnastics mats would have been a lot to haul back from Santa Rosa.  They have already gotten plenty of use. We even found an old box of Mommies leotards to play with and posed pictures to copy.

The girls went to a jewelry party put on by Brynn's mom (Cienna's school friend) which may have sparked the idea for Mommy to have a Norwex party (Green line of cleaning products sold by a good friend), but the main reason was to get Dani to come visit from Arizona.  Last minute planning doesn't always work out so easy, but we had fun.

Our lady bugs were mature enough so we set them free to learn to fly.  For Veterans Day, each girl had a different day off from school, so Mommy and Daddy split some time to be home with them both Monday and Tuesday.  We love any extra time that we can get together.  This last weekend included a few more parties starting with Addy and Lexy's 7th Birthday, then that evening the girls went to Steph's to do some homemade Christmas gift making while the boys went to Uncle B's for Whiskey tasting... the girls felt better than the boys the next day : )

During the busy Halloween/Red Ribbon Week, Cienna was also Star of The Week in her class with the Friday finally of being class leader for the day.  FINALLY tooth number 6 came out, we think it was starting to grow back into her mouth.  After finishing in first for the season, Cienna's soccer team won their first play-off game which will conclude this Saturday with possibly winning the championship game.  Mommy got to coach the last practice of the season on Monday.  Girl Scouts has begun, we had our orientation meeting and Cienna got to make her Daisy bracelet.  It's a great group of girls and parents.

Kaylee pretty much just runs the (her) show.  Her fantastic mannerisms and personality makes us laugh with something new each day.  The party festivities let her love of music and dance shine through this month.  She also keeps excelling in body control/gymnastics.  She is growing too fast, she loves doing her worksheets and learning new words.  She always wants to do "homework" and practice writing.  Her writing practice also helps with her artwork and the increased amount of detail she adds to her Elsa and Anna characters.
