Aubrey's 4th BiRtHdAy!

Aubrey's birthday was extreme to say the least! 
We had 4 days of celebrating and Aubrey was more than TIRED by the end! 
I just hope she realizes every year will NOT be like this one!

Friday: Gift opening before school so she could be told of her party surprises...


 We hosted a movie night at our house. kids came in pajamas and brought their sleeping bags.
Evan projected the movie Brave on our dining room wall and we moved things into the garage and created a concession stand in our living room! 
 We lost 2 during the night, but these girls were still there for the end!
 We played freeze dance, played an intense game of Elefun, and had cupcakes!

 Saturday: Family and close friends came to celebrate!



 Sunday: HaPpY BiRtHdAy!
The only picture I captured of the birthday girl on her actual birthday!
We went to Grahams and shared a fondue lunch!
Monday: School Party!
Evan and I were able to read to Aubrey's class and provide a special snack 
complete with My Little Ponies!

The Girls!

Our evenings are sometimes spent with Daddy and Aubrey playing a video game together... 
not sure about that yet!
 Emersyn's laugh and smile are simply infectious! 
She is so incredibly filled with joy! She is an incredible blessing and amazing addition to this family!





 And her sister! 
AUBREY we love you!

 Some much needed girl time...
 and our girls taking some moments to themselves! 
HA HA HA I just love the things we sneak up on in this house!!

School Party and Performance Galore!

We went to Aubrey's Christmas party at school.
We enjoyed spending some time with her and her school friends. 
 Making reindeer food...
 serving up some treats...
 making our project....

and the performances begin... school

 church...
and bible school...



 Aubrey sang her heart out at each! These are the days I hope to remember forever! 
It was so much fun to see her up there with friends. I loved seeing her sing, seeing her goofiness, and watching her direct each person. :D

I just adore this little girl and ALL she brings to this family!

Setting Up For Christmas!

Emersyn explored every bit of "The Christmas" we added to our home!
 So did her sister!
My goofs!



 Aubrey helping out with the inside lights...
 and dad on the outside. Sixty degrees in November! 
The perfect time to wrap the house in lights!


Gingerbread Fun!

We decorated Gingerbread men instead of the good old house. 
Aubrey enjoyed putting her touches on them and REALLY seemed to enjoy eating the goodies along the way. We all did the decorating and she did most of the eating.... 
SORRY Em, you were asleep for this one!
