Happy Girl

Grandma and Grandpa came to town. Grandma took this girl birthday shopping:
The tent and bath time Ariel were part of the birthday purchases. She has had so much fun with both toys. So has Cole, when he can get away with it.



Tessa has been talking about her birthday for at least six months now. She has solidified what she wants, so it's been taken care of for a couple weeks. Then an Oriental Trading Company catalog showed up in the mail. Suddenly she added reindeer antlers and slinkies to the list. I told her that those may not show up on her birthday (or a set of two dozen of them), so when she saw antlers in the dollar section of Target, Grandma came to the rescue on this dream.
But here is a picture of Cole wearing them:
Uncle Jon came too! We were so happy to have him here. Cole loved hanging out with him.
One evening we ran to slurp down some BBQ at Dickies, took a walk around a park lake, and then we made it to the opening night of Tangled. We loved it. I laughed pretty hard at the Snuggly Duckling section of the movie. It's so fun to hear little kids laughing and enjoying a movie along with the adults.
At the park:
This was the day before Thanksgiving. It got to about 80 degrees. What in the world?!? The next day a cold front came in and put things back to normal. That would explain the short sleeves and shorts at the end of November.

I just can't get over how cute your kids are! How fun to have family come and visit. We have had a dry spell here as far as visitors go. We're hoping for some guests after Christmas.

Looks like an awesome time. Adessa has that same Ariel. I think her hair has become mildewy mush from being perpetually wet. Tangled! So jealous, doesn't open here until Jan. 28th. 80 degree's? Seriously, we could not be living in 2 more different places!

Such great pics! I was so excited to see that Grandma McBride got Tessa a princess hut! When I saw that in an advertisement I so wished I could get it for her, cause I knew she would love it. Grandma McBride rocks! Cole is so stinkin' cute, love that boy and my beautiful Tessa. Glad you all had such a great Thanksgiving visit with family.
