Long Overdue Post Part 1

It's been a REALLY long time since I've posted so there is quite a bit to catch up on.
 
Halloween: Katie was Princess Belle and Amelia was a little lady bug.  They both LOVED the holiday.  Katie still talks about Halloween almost daily and how she was Belle and went trick or treating.



We went on the with Matt's sister Sarah and her two girls. 
 


Katie turned 3 and got to take cupcakes to her class to share.
 

 
Amelia learned to crawl!

 
Katie had her birthday party.  We had an ice cream sundae bar.  Her cousins, aunts and uncles, and grandparents all came to celebrate with her.

 
Amelia turned 8 months

 
Thanksgiving: We were able to spend thanksgiving at my parent's house.  The very last Hoorah  before they moved.


Amelia learned how to climb up the stairs.
 


We put up our christmas tree.  We finally bought a new one this year after using a tiny one for the last 6 years that we got for $20 right after we got married.
 
We saw the lights at thanksgiving point.  We drove through and saw lots of fun things.  We then walked over to the live reindeer, saw Santa Claus, and ate some yummy ice cream.


It was really cold!
 
 
The girls all dressed up in their Christmas dresses.


 
The Reynolds Christmas party was held at my brother's Jeff's house this year since my parent's had sold their home.  We at great food, reenacted the navity, sang songs, and opened presents.



 
the Hawkins' family party was held on Christmas eve as is tradition.  They saw a movie to start the day.  Katie and Matt were able to see Frozen for the first time.  I stayed home with Amelia while she took a nap.  Little did I know that movie would be shown over and over and over on a daily basis in my house just a few months later.

 
Amelia's aunts all loved her and made her laugh and play.
 
Cousins!  Katie loves her cousin Jordan!


 
Christmas morning!

 
We started out with presents from each other.  I love the sister relationship.

 
Amelia loved her new phone toy.


 
That's it until Part 2!
