It's Beginning To Look A Lot Like...

Christmas!

Building a Gingerbread House!

It has become a tradition for the girls to build a gingerbread house with their Daddy to kick off the holiday season!  They built this years house on Sunday evening.

The Perfect Night...

We went over to my brother and sister-in-laws house on Saturday night to spend time with the family.  We had Oklahoma Joe's BBQ for dinner and watched Christmas Vacation.  It was the perfect relaxed night!

Thanksgiving

We spent Thanksgiving day at my parents house cooking, drinking mimosas, and eating a yummy turkey dinner!  It was perfect.

Our two turkeys!

 Mom, Michael, and Dad in the kitchen!  Dad was playing DJ while I served mimosas, and Mom and Michael put the finishing touches on dinner!

 Grammie and her girls!

Happy Thanksgiving!

From our family to yours!

The Good Dinosaur

We took the girls to see The Good Dinosaur in the movie theater this afternoon.  Michael took the day off of work, so he was able to join us for the movie!

Thanksgiving "Coneucopia" at Preschool!

Emilie had her Thanksgiving "Coneucopia" at school this morning.  Each student brings a snack to share and we all sit down together and fill ice cream cones with snacks and eat together!  It's a lot of fun!

 Em checking out her necklace and headband she made earlier in the week!

 Cutest little Indian ever!

 We ate raisins, craisins, popcorn, fruit snacks, marshmallows, Cinnamon and Chocolate Rice Chex, and banana chips!

 Em filling up her cone!

My Little Chef!

Emilie helps me cook dinner most nights of the week.  She has taken such an interest in cooking!  It's really cute!  Here she is stirring the sauce for our Chicken Saute with Peppers and Goat Cheese.

By far, my favorite paper that I have found in Ainslie's backpack this year!

Happy 5th Birthday Madi!

The girls got invited to their friend and our neighbor, Madi's 5th birthday party at 360 Gymnastics on Saturday afternoon.

 Olaf and snowflake cookies, Olaf cheese sticks, and white chocolate dipped pretzels.  Too cute!

Field Trip to the K!

Ainslie won a field trip with some of her classmates to take a tour of Kauffman Stadium.  They went on the field trip this morning!

Here is Ainslie with my girlfriend Jess, who was one of the lucky parents that got to go on the field trip with her son today!  I was so happy that she snapped this pic!

 

Here is a picture taken of all of the kiddos in front of the stadium!  Can you find Ainslie?!  Lol!

Royals, 2015 World Series Winners!  What a great time to be a fan of the Royals and to be able to take a tour of the stadium!

Family::Soccer

Jackson plays soccer at Legends Soccer Club, as well as Ainslie and Emilie.  A lot of his games happen at the same time as Ainslie's games.  It's so fun to run into our family at soccer!

Letters to Santa

I gave the girls their invitations to breakfast with Santa at the Spring Hill Recreation Center in December, and they wasted no time writing their letters!  We are hoping to get personalized letters back from Santa the day of the breakfast!  ;)

Daddy's New Toy...

The girls love going for little rides up and down our street on Michael's new motorcycle!
