Another year, another visit with Santa

Is it just me, or does Lainey look like she's ready to fight the photographer because he's preventing her from telling Santa what she wants for Christmas.

Lainey's 5th Birthday

Here's Lainey on her actual birthday opening presents from us

I think she liked her gifts!
Make a wish...

Lainey had a Birthday Party the Saturday following her birthday at Family Fun & Fitness. Here she is with some of her friends:

A beautiful Barbie cake:

Here are the girls having fun jumping high in the sky:

Fun at the zoo

Here are some pics of Alaina with her best buds Nick & Amelia. We had a great time at the zoo back in October

Too cute!

I smell a skunk...

Here's a picture of the skunks at Alyssa's Veteran's Day Program:

And here's a picture of Pepaw that was shown at the program:

Happy Halloween!

The pumpkins... each one came up with their own design

Trick or Treating with friends

Birthday Party

Alyssa got to go to an awesome birthday party for her friend Jesi. They got to ride horses and she had a great time!

Brushing the horse

Painting horse shoes

Time to ride!

Alyssa even talked me into taking a ride!

Field Trips

Both girls went on class field trips this fall. First up was Lainey. I got to go with her to a field trip to an apple orchard

Alyssa went on a field trip to Southeastway Park and it was all about bugs. She really wanted Ryan to go since she thought he would like bugs more (how right she was!). Luckily, he was able to get off work and had a great time on his first field trip!

Florida

I went to Florida without the hubby & girls to celebrate my Aunt Kay's wedding reception. No, wait, it was to celebrate Kuebler Christmas. No, well, I went to Florida and got to see all my aunts & uncles & cousins. Here are some pics with the sis

The Kuebler Siblings

Erik & Debi win the dress-up game!

I don't think Erik was in any hurry to take off his winning outfit!

I missed my family, but I at least got to bond with my cousins' babies.

Fall Sports

This Fall, Alyssa has been playing softball, and Lainey has been playing soccer. They are both doing very well, and I'm having tons of fun watching their games (I'm trying to be more quiet so that I don't get a reputation as the crazy screaming lady).
