One Year- 33 Weeks

This little lady has had a busy week. She is working on that last tooth and has been a bit fussy, but we've tried to keep her distracted with lots of activities. Lilly went to the Sherwood youth performance of Aladdin (she made it through about half the play), Disney on Ice, the SMJ Dance Studio Open House and she carved pumpkins. Lillian is also all finished nursing and now we are just enjoying having some time to snuggle and read books at night before brushing teeth (which she still would rather do without). :) She has been a bit ornery to her friends and sister at school this week, but we are all hoping once her tooth is in she will be back to her normal happy self. Lilly still loves to sing and dance and she is especially enjoying drawing pictures and coloring after school each day. 

Pumpkin Carving

The girls carved pumpkins tonight! Audrey LOVED it and Lillian HATED it. :) 

Lilly didn't like getting her hands dirty so she just cleaned all my chairs and the outside of her pumpkin instead. 

Helping clean while Mommy carved her pumpkin

She loved her pumpkin once it was "all clean"

Audrey wanted a "happy mommy" pumpkin

SMJ Open House

Audrey's dance school had an open house today to celebrate the opening of the new studio. The girls had a blast dancing, playing games, getting face paints and making art projects. I hardly got any pictures of Audrey because she was running around the whole time. :) Lillian had a great time too and especially loved being with the big girls. 

Getting her face painted too!

Disney on Ice

The girls and I had a great time at Disney on Ice today! We went with Grandma Liz, Grandma Anne and several of the cousins and aunts. The girls loved the show! Audrey said her favorite character was Jessie and I'm pretty sure Lilly's favorite part was the $12 snow cone. :)

 Cousin Fun!!

Three Years- 11 Months

Her last bear picture as a three year old. How can she be growing up so fast? Miss Audrey is growing up to be such a fun, caring, little girl. She started AWANA Cubbies this past week at church and so far she is loving it! She already memorized all her entrance verses and earned her vest and new book last night! Audrey is also loving her new dance class with Ms. Sarah at SMJ Performing Arts. She can't wait to get a "real costume" and dance on a "real stage." :) Audrey still has an incredible memory and is constantly recalling facts that we have only shared with her once or twice. She knows at least 3/4 of her letters now, can spell her first and last names, and is getting really good and writing letters and coloring. Audrey loves watching movies and cartoons. Her current favorites are Paw Patrol, Peppa Pig, Sophia the First and Strawberry Shortcake. She also loves to swim and is begging us to sign her up for swim lessons again. Audrey has been a super good girl at school this year and has been such a big helper to Teacher Carol. We could not be more proud of our princess!

One Year- 32 Weeks

Lillian is talking like crazy. Teacher Carol and I were just talking today about how Lilly is using complete sentences for almost everything she says. Some of her new words this week are Walker, reach, pets, Regan and wash. She is still going potty on the "Elmo Potty" with the big kids at school and she especially enjoyed learning about bats (which she continues to call owls) at school last week. Lillian loves to draw and color. She also loves taking baths and helping mommy wash the dishes. 

Harvest Party

The Hannigan family got together for a Harvest Party this past weekend. The weather was beautiful and the girls had a great time carving pumpkins and playing games outside.
