December Picture Post and Christmas 2017

December was full of fun and magical moments! We watched Caroline perform in the Concert of Carols and the twins perform in Christmas Chapel. We travelled to Nashville to celebrate Christmas with Grandpa and Grandma.

We visited Santa at the Commonwealth Club

All dressed up to meet the Big Guy!

Mommy and Daddy ran into him again a few nights later!

We were so proud of Caroline for her participation in the Concert of Carols.

We also loved watching Julia and Margaret in the Kindergarten Christmas Chapel.

We spotted Santa's sleigh at CCV!

One of Julia's favorite Christmas gifts!

Quite a stash of gifts!

In Nashville for Christmas!

Santa brought roller blades for all 3 girls.

American Girl dolls were a big hit with the twins.

November Picture Post and Thanksgiving 2017

We didn't take many pictures in November, but we still had fun! The twins celebrated the 50th day of school and we travelled to Big Canoe for Thanksgiving. Mommy also celebrated a winning tennis season with her CCV tennis team!

Over the river and through the woods, to Marmee's house we go!

We took our Christmas card pictures at Big Canoe.

October Picture Post and Halloween 2017

October was full of tricks and treats! We celebrated Collegiate's Homecoming, had a visit from Cougie, and enjoyed lots of Halloween related festivities.

Caroline and Mommy's October NYC Trip

We welcomed Baby Elaine into the family in September. Caroline and Mommy took a special trip together to New York City to meet our new cousin.

One of our first stops in NYC was Dylan's Candy Bar.

Caroline was excited to visit a real art gallery.

Of course, our favorite part was meeting Baby Elaine.

We got to eat out with Uncle Michael and Aunt Yoojin.

We also visited a couple other great restaurants with Marmee and Grampy!

At the American Girl Doll Store and Salon!

We visited Ellis Island to see the Statue of Liberty.

Caroline at the Raging Bull on Wall Street. It was packed!

We had a great time together.

The twins stayed home with Daddy. We brought them pjs for their American Girl dolls.

September Picture Post

September was a busy month! We visited Cape Charles (not a hit) and celebrated OktoberFest and Charlotte's 1st birthday. We also held a bake sale for the Houston SPCA after Hurricane Harvey hit Texas.

We did not have great weather during our trip to Cape Charles...nor did the girls have good behavior.

Despite the smiles, we ended up leaving early.

Charlotte turned 1 year old in September. We celebrated with doggie biscuit donuts.

Isabel was unsure about the treat...

...and so was Frances.
