A very girlie affair

Last Friday Molly had a very fun and girlie morning! It all began at Hannah's house for some VERY fun dress-up, which Molly took very seriously. She would try on each dress and then sing the coordinating theme song that went with that princess. She was very serious about these songs. Then, some fun with princess stickers where she enjoyed telling Hannah about each Princess- where they lived, what song they sang, who their Prince was, etc. But the main event occurred at American Girl Place- which Hannah and Molly both love. Her doll, Samantha, got her hair done at the doll salon and the girl had lunch They got a huge kick out of choosing her hairstyle and which ribbons she should have. The lunch was perfect for the girls- mac and cheese, chicken fingers and pink lemonade with a pink shake! The restaurant got a little crowded and hectic and it got a little late (sleepy kids!) but they had a blast! Molly REALLY hoped that Santa brings her the Molly doll....!

Enjoying the very yummy, very pink shakes!

Yum!

Dancing with Samantha

I had to put this in because I thought it was too funny. Emily and I really wanted Molly and Hannah to stand by the red wall for one last picture. Well, they did everything BUT stand still by the red wall. But sweet little Alice Anne toddled over and stood right where we asked.

So cute!

Daddy Party!

Tonight was Dad's Night at Molly's school. She has been SOOO excited about this for weeks! All of the decorations in the hallways have made her so ready for the "Daddy Party"! When she woke up form her nap (YES! She fell asleep today!) she was raring to go. The theme was Football Players and Cheerleaders, and Molly was happy to get to wear her KU ensemble! I volunteered at the event and it was a riot! It was very chaotic to say the least! I think the Dads had a difficult time keeping the kids in line- ha! The SMU cheerleaders were there, there were Button Photos, tattoos, food, games and fun raffle prizes. Molly was most excited to see her friends from her class, meet the Cheerleaders and drink some juice!! On the way home Molly said "Daddy was the best Daddy at the Daddy Party"! How sweet and I couldn't agree more!

Molly all decked out and ready to party!

I love this shot because she is catching some air and looks like a real cheerleader!

In front of the banner. She looks SO grown up in this one! :(

Halloween Extravaganza!

We had the BEST weekend! We kicked the festivities off Friday night at Mimi and Poppy's house. They had a Halloween "Dress Rehearsal" for us and some family friends with young children. The kids showed off their costumes, did some trick-or-treating and friends and had a spaghetti feast. So fun! On Halloween, Lisa and Brendan hosted the most fun party and then we all went trick or treating together. It was an absolute blast. The kids got such a kick out of seeing each other in costume and I can't really explain how elaborately the homes were decorated in Lisa's neighborhood- it was spectacular! Molly and her friends wanted to be big kids and walk up to the homes by themselves, but kind of got stuck- they just stood there and said "trick-or-treat" over and over again! HA! So- we had to assist them! A hilarious story- Molly was tuckered out and ready to go, but she saw one last elaborate house she had to visit. It had an enormous organ that spewed fire! Well- the organ started chiming like a clock and Molly said "Oh- it's "bidnight" (midnight!), Fairy Godmother said I have to go home now" and she was done! She even dropped her glass slipper for Prince Charming (kyle) to scoop up! We made one last stop at another Halloween party so she could show off her dress to Uncle KeeKee and friends and then Molly was done! After we put her down with a sitter, Kyle and I went to the Ghostland Observatory concert with a group of friends. Kyle had to talk me into it, as I had not been "out" on Halloween in FOREVER, but I'm glad he did- it was soooooo much fun! I haven't been out past 1:00am in years:)

We couldn't believe they all sat and posed for so long!

One of the awesome homes!

Molly LOVED Mr. Panda (Jack) She just wanted to dance with him!

Molly was the life of the party! She and Dani were getting down!

Kyle and I before we left for the show- I was an Indian (obviously!) and Kyle and some of his friends were Mormons! Ha! Certainly not "PC", but hilarious!
