Durbin Breakfast with Santa

The girls got to meet Santa...again. This time at the Durbin breakfast. We enjoyed pancakes then the girls got to go from table to table to table to make Christmas crafts.

They made frames to hold their pictures with Santa.

Lola and Mommy Time

Lola and Mommy got to decorate her gingerbread girl to be hung up in her classroom at school. We could use anything but markers, pens, pencils or crayons. We ended up using Pez, coffee filters, whole coffee beans, green sugar, spaghetti, macaroni, poof balls, sequins, red twine, yarn and of course a drink umbrella.

We decided to have fun one morning and roll Lola's hair in curlers before school.
Super Cute!

Family Thanksgiving Hands for Lola's Class

Lola came home from Kindergarten with brown and yellow paper. It was a family project. Each member had to trace, cut-out and decorate their own hand. The we were supposed to connect them all together to hang in Lola's classroom. (I have to admit Brian's is my favorite.)

Sleeping Lola

Lola fell asleep in our bed with her balloon that she got at the surgery center.

Halloween

Brownies for the cookout - Lola has to ice hers with chocolate and Sophie's are of course with vanilla icing.

Faith and her super gross scary face!

Trick or Treating at Maw and Paw's

The girls wanted to go as My Melody and Hello Kitty for Halloween.
(For those of you that don't know My Melody is Hello Kitty's bunny friend.)
I figured these would not be easy costumes to find so I decided to just make them myself. I think they turned out pretty cute. Lola did have a hard time keeping her head up though...those ears just kept wanting to flop forward.

Now on to Aunt Cherry and Uncle Mike's house

Next we went to Maw and Paw's house

Maw and Paw were dressed up as well

Aunt Jenner LOVES Hello Kitty and My Melody so she was super excited to get her picture made with them.
