Gingerbread Houses

This years gingerbread houses turned out great! I think 6 is the perfect age to create a darling little house. These toothless little school friends took their sweet time making their houses as perfect as possible! Josh man did a pretty good job himself, making sure to sample some tasty treats... And some not so tasty icing! Sweet Ava tested the licorice for us... Making sure it was delicious!

Sweet dreams

This is what happens when a very tired grandpa 

lays down next to a very tired Rylee. 

Two of my most favorite people catchin a few ZZZZ's:)

Better late...

Halloween has come and gone... 

But I have pictures to prove we had a blast! 

Ry started off the month being Wonder Woman, 

and ended being the cutest little kitty cat ever!

Thankful

We copied Sarah and created our very own 'thankful' tree. Each day we have fun adding to it, coming up with creative things we're thankful for! I'm pretty thankful for my sweet talented little girl:)

Teeth

This lil monkey keeps missing more and more teeth! Last week she lost 2! Perfect timing... All I want for Christmas is my two front teeth:) She sure is keeping the tooth fairy busy.

Sisters are the best

So true.

Piano

 

Rylee started piano lessons today! She's wanted to start the past couple of years and today was her day;) She did a great job at lessons and wanted to come straight home to practice. I know those days will soon end so I have to capture a photo while she still has a smile on her face.

 Rylee also learned how to call my cell phone from the house phone today. I had a girls dinner scheduled tonight so Rylee had the option to:

1: come with me and listen to us ladies chat all evening

or 

2: Sit on the couch in her pjs and watch a movie. 

(with Grandpa and Granny's supervision of course)

Obviously she chose a movie!

So, before I left we practiced dialing my number just in case she felt it necessary to give me a jingle. Just as I suspected, Rylee found a reason to call. Our conversation went a little like this...

Rylee- "Hi mom!'

Mom- "Hey Ry whats up?"

Rylee- "Just wondering when you're gonna be home."

Mom- "I'm leaving the restaurant in 10 minutes so I'll be home in 20."

Rylee- "Ok.... (long pause) Hey mom... where did you go out for dinner?"  

Mom- "Brio at fashion place mall."

Rylee- "OOH I love that place. Mom, do you think you could grab me 6 mints on your way out the door? I LOVE THEIR MINTS!"

Funny little lady
