Update post #2 - Grocery shopping, Casts and Fireman!

Abby's class took a field trip to a local grocery store after raising money to buy food for the food bank here in town.  I volunteered to go with them.  Let's just say that taking 14 five year olds grocery shopping is quite the experience!!!

My group of crazies!

We took a fun little trip to a local gymnastics place that does open gym for the kids on Saturday morning.  Abby and Blake were having so much fun...swinging, jumping, bouncing.  Everyone was so happy...until.  :(

This is the thing Abby fell off of, backwards, and landed on her arm.

Which led to this....

And this...

And then ultimately this....

At least she is smiling!

On Thanksgiving day we volunteered to bring stuff to the Fireman that had to work during the holiday.  Blake and Abby got to meet the fireman and climb in the firetruck.  The kids love it and are still talking about it!  Abby and Matt even made the local news when they showed up and started filming!

And finally, our Christmas isn't complete without matching Christmas Jammies and our Elf (which Abby decided this year her name was Rosy)!!

Update post #1 - Abby turns 5...then breaks her arm and it's the holiday season!

Abby turned 5 (!!) this year and decided she wanted to have a pony party!  I reserved a local park and brought in 2 ponies and we had so much fun.

This is "Willow"

Her fancy cake and pony cake pops

Stick ponies we made for favors

Blake loved the ponies!

This is "Bella"

No party is complete without donut towers!

Piñata time!

The kids had school photos taken - and this is by far the best year yet.  Yes, definitely!!

Abby got to get all dressed up for a birthday Tea Party for her friend Taylor.  She was SO pretty!!!

The holidays have officially begun and we kicked off the season with the local outdoor mall's Christmas tree lighting event.  It was our first time to go and it was really fun!

Blake loved Santa coming in on a fire truck!

The night ended with fireworks!
