Powder Day!

Well not really, just about an inch but enough to have fun in.

This is awesome.

You bet it is

Fun
First tracks.
What are you up to
Oh yeah let's eat some snow.

Let me help you with your hat Hannah. Mabel is so caring for Hannah.

Mabel catching some k's and of course eating the snow.

Hannah showing off her sledding technique.....I like the forward lean....Go faster Mom!

I love the holidays. Here is my attempt at being creative...this is way better then how my fudge making went.

Pageant

December is here and moving right along. We have been busy and can't wait for the rest of December. We went to a great Christmas parade last weekend in the middle of Plymouth, if forgot my camera so I didn't get the pictures of Mabel waving and saying "Hi Santa" as he went by way up in a fire truck, but let me tell you it was the best. Tonight down at school Mabel was in her first Christmas pageant. She did great....I talked about it alot the last two days so she was all set for it. I think she was the only little kid on the stage without her parents. She was happy as a clam to be up there with her friends from school. She stood up there for a good 15 minutes while we sang and talked all about Christmas. There was a fun pizza party after too. Ok on to some pictures.

My two sidekicks. I don't know what I would do without them.

Getting ready to go to school for dinner
There is Mabel holding her friends Claire's hand and pushing her way to the front.
Our little angel. As you can tell the costume was way way to big but she wanted to be what her friends were.
Hannah and I hanging out after lunch when Mabel was napping. She was very animated and all smiles :)

This is how big Hannah thinks she is! She is getting very good with a sippy cup too.

Saturday morning fun at the Casey's

This movie was easy to title....Hannah on the move...I love it and so does she. She is growing fast...watch out Mabel.

I saw a friends baby tonight that is 3 and a half months...it reminded me of Hannah not long ago...time flies so I am taking it all in :) It's a wonderful time of the year...my favorite.

Thanksgiving in Vermont

We had a great time and enjoyed family time and good food.

The Casey Clan...the girls in there new Holderness Sweatshirts.

Hannah watching Mabel on the slide at the Landgrove Town Hall. Thanksgiving Day walk.
Mabel enjoying German Giants with Dad. She ate some much.
Snack time with Gran.
Picture with Baby and Patches the dolls.
Eggs anyone?

Sunny days!

We had a beautiful stretch of weather last week and through the weekend. I was sure to get out with the girls as much as possible.

I love polka dots!

Hannah is crawling BACKWARDS and is able to go from Tummy to sitting and vise versa...she was not happy about backing herself into this situation though.
Hannah can also pull up!
Wanting in on some of the slide action.
The sun sets right around 4:15 which is just after I get Mabel up from her nap. What a view she has from her room.
Little miss Mabel!
Wanting in on some of the bike action too.
Our view through the trees now that the leaves are down.
Our place in NH.
I love this bird feeder...I think at one point today when I looked out there was 15 birds all around. It is in the perfect place too, right outside the big sliding glass doors from where the dining table is. The girls and I just eat and watch the birds and yell at the squirrels.
Check out the mustard on her plate....she loves mustard, just like her Mom and Dad!
Loaded up in the Chariot...so fun with both of them sitting next to each other. Hannah is out of the infant sling...what a big girl.
Say Cheese!
Getting ready for a big slide. She like to go face first on her stomach too.
Snack time.

The beginning of November

Ready for a walk....gotta bundle up it's getting cold and it's November.

Check out the bow in her hair....Cute!
Yeah I have jeans on. There the best and are hand me downs from my sister and cousin Kate.
Made my day...we got chickadees at out bird feeder.
Snack time with Dad.
Digging for the goodies in her Halloween bag. I think Pat ate the lollipop and I had the peanut butter cup....she'll forgive us later for sneaking those from her :)
"Trick or Treaters Stop Here"... and we did!
Swinging baby at the park.
Smile

The sweet park we go to in town.

Happy Halloween from the Cow and Penguin :)

On Friday night Holderness School had a photographer taking pictures of all the students in their costumes so we were able to get in on the action...FUN.

This is Caroline...she is a freshman day student at Holderness and she is so great with kids...Mabel adores her and they play a lot when we go to dinner. Thanks Caroline. Dad dressed up as Rex Quan Do!
