January fun

Christmas snuck by so quickly and there are too many good photos to choose from so I decided to just skip ahead to January. Here's few fun photos from January.

Aliya's 3rd birthday

Aliya had a great 3rd birthday. We went to the children's museum in Baltimore on he actual birthday and then had a party with some of her friends the next day. I can't believe our baby girl is already 3! She's growing up so fast. She's an amazing little girl and we are so happy to have her in our lives.

Christmas prep

We had a very productive Thanksgiving weekend and put up the Christmas decorations, the tree and had breakfast with Santa. The kiddos told Santa what the'd like for Christmas. Aliya told me she wants a candy cane - I think Santa can handle that. :o) We also tried to make a gingerbread house. It was fun to try and make the house and the kids loved eating the candy. The house didn't quite hold up, but we had fun.

Strawberry Shortcake

Aliya is very into skirts and dresses and that's all she will wear lately. She found this dress that was mine as a little girl and wore it to school the other day. Thanks mom for saving it. It's pretty neat that she's able to wear some things that were mine when I was little.

Fun in the leaves

We went to play at the park one weekend and a great time playing in the leaves. The weather this fall has been amazing. It was in the 60s all Thanksgiving weekend, which was great. I wish this weather would stick around.

Christmas and Birthday Pics

We took the kiddos in for Christmas and birthday (Aliya's 3 year and Brayden's 18 month) pictures and they did great! Here are are a few of the pics.

Halloween

We had a great Halloween. Trick or treating was on Oct. 31. The kiddos had so much fun running up to the houses and getting candy. It was a great night! We had a blast watching them run down the street to the next house with lights on. Aliya was our little pirate - there is supposed to be another pink ribbon on her costume, but that got lost when she wore her costume at her awhile ago... She loved her costume so I had to hide it otherwise she wanted to wear it every day! Brayden was our little spider.

Our little stud!

The kiddos went to Campbell's Halloween party on Saturday and a had a great time. Here's a picture of all the kids in their costumes. Brayden was wandering around and didn't quite make the pic.
