Halloween Fun!

We have been SUPER busy doing Halloween stuff. We went to ABQ to see my parents, and sister, and had a blast. We went to the pumkin patch, carved pumpkins, and went trick-or-treating (which Emily was not fond of until she found out that you got candy!). No pictures of that trip...too much fun, sorry:( We were all suppose to be "Super Why," characters this Halloween, but Sofia changed her mind and REALLY wanted to be a witch, so her and Emily were witches, and baby shortcake was a pumpkin:)
We went to a carnival at our church, and had a blast! Again Emily didn't want to wear her costume....well the tights part until she realized she got TANDY (candy) out of it, and then she was fine. I also took the girls to yes..Disney to see it for Halloween (yes we had already seen it for Halloween 3 times this year, but hadn't worn our costumes yet). Emily got to see her new favorite the Queen from Snow white, and was SOOOOOOOOOO excited to see her, and talked about it for the rest of the day...she's so strange! When we left she was blowing her kisses, both strange because Emily doesn't really blow kisses and, really at the Queen who wanted Snow white dead! Sofia also got to see Minnie in her witch costume, which was the highlight of her day. Mine was coming home and eating all of their candy from the night before:)


Sofia helped me decorate this year. This is her posing with the Halloween village. She didn't like that the headless horseman was headless so she put a skeleton on his shoulders, she's hilarious!

Sisters

I LOVE my girls!!!!!!! Here are a couple of cute pics and a video.

Rapunzel Tea

We went to the local bookstore for a Rapunzel tea party. Sofia looked fabulous in her dress that Mimi made her. Even Emily got dressed up for the occasion. It was super cute, and lots of fun!

New Camera!

Chad and I bought a new fancy camera for our birthdays, and Christmas this year. We love it. We have only had it for a week and a half and we downloaded pictures today, and there were 411!!!!!!!! We have been having a great time learning all about it. I will not subject you to all of those pictures, however here are a few:


Emily LOVES posing for the new camera. She always smiles and says, "Cheese!"


Sofia loves to be silly for the new camera, I wonder where she gets that?


She also loves action shots, which you will see a lot of.

Sofia built an obstacle course to run through while I took pictures...this is just one of like 35:)

AGAIN!

So I consigned the girls clothes last spring and it was actually really hard to do (as most of you know I am SOOO sentimental), and A LOT of work. I also got rid of some of my baby equipment, and gave away my maternity clothes. Well as you may have guessed, I completely jinxed Chad and I. Yes that is right we are expecting baby #3 in March!

Sofia is sooooo excited about being a big sister again. She has named the baby Orange Blossom Strawberry Shortcake Lemon Meragne Smith, but for short we will be calling it shortcake:) She will also tell you that the baby is coming on St. Patrick's day, that is it's due date!

We are all so excited about our unexpected surprise baby shortcake!

Exercise Momma

We had officially ran out of things to do while the girls were sick. They were starting to go stir crazy. So I popped in one of my postnatal exercise videos to do with their babies. They LOVED it! Here is Emily with her baby, Sofia didn't want to be photographed, but still loved it.

For Great Granny

Sofia got this really cute outfit from her Great Granny for her birthday that is perfect for school. She looked so cute I couldn't help but take a billion pictures of her that morning! I decided to only post a few though:)
That you Granny, she looked precious!

Emily is of course happy to wear a pj top and a diaper to take sissy to school:)
