More Birthday Pictures

This morning, Abbie didn't want to miss any of Lizzie's birthday so I let her check in at 9:30 since I had to be there then for cookie dough delivery. I got a few pictures of them before we left the house.

HAPPY 2ND BIRTHDAY LIZZIE!!!

Today is Lizzie's 2nd birthday! Boy she has grown up and changed so much lately!! She actually talks now...and you can understand most of it! Last Saturday, we had a little family party for Lizzie at Mom and Dad's. All 12 of us were there...that doesn't happen much! This post is pictures from Saturday. Lizzie LOVES Dora and that's what she got! A Dora cake, doll, pjs, slippers, backpack, hoodie, cup, plate, and bowl. She also got a Radio Flyer scooter that she loves! She's still trying to figure out how to make it go...but she's doing really good! We had a great time!

Halloween

For Halloween, Abbie just had to be Tess for Camp Rock. For those of you who don't know who Tess is or what Camp Rock is...it's very similar to High School Musical. Tess is the one nobody likes because she's so popular, pretty, and stuck-up! And Abbie wanted to be her!!! Boy was I proud! NOT!!! Anway, we decided to be the Tess at the end of the movie when she realizes how horrible she had been to everyone and changes her attitude. Anyway, she was really cute I have to say. Fortunately, Lizzie is still young enough for me to choose her outfit. I always wanted Abbie to be a ladybug so Lizzie got to be one this year...and she was ADORABLE!!! They had a great time trick-or-treating around the neighborhood and a few other friends' houses. Then we went to Mr.Todd and Mrs. Linda's house for our annual Halloween night supper. They are always so good to us andhave been ever since we first moved here. There almost like a surrogate aunt and uncle since ours are all far away. I would say surrogate grandparents but they're no where near old enough!!
Anyway, we had a great time. Here are a few pics of the girls!

Carving The Pumpkin

Abbie has been wanting to carve our pumpkins since we got them at the end of September. Finally, on Wednesday before Halloween, Blaine was home early enough to carve them. Abbie had a ball! Lizzie was tired and wouldn't get down so I had to hold her while they carved.

Fall Pictures

Here are several pictures from the past 6 weeks or so. The first are from PaPaw's birthday September 25. I meant to get them on sooner but didn't:) There are also some from when we went to Panama City Beach to meet my friend Jennifer and her kids Blair and Ben. Then we went to eat with Uncle Ben and Aunt Lane who just happened to be at the beach the same time. There are also pic of Abbie, Lizzie, and Abbie's friend MaKayla do "cheerleading" stunts in the front yard.
