MY AFI

 Wondering how long Keni's little popeye cheese face is going to last.  Hopefully her camera smile gets a little sweeter as the years go by.  I had the girls dress up a bit Friday for their Great Grandpa's special day.

 My sweet and heroic Afi getting his Veteran's Day Award for his service to our country.  So proud of him... not just for his service but for what a great man, father, grandfather, great-grandfather, etc... he's always been.

 All the award recipients in the front and the men giving the awards behind them.

Afi is second from the left... got a little distracted here.  ;)

Keni dancing

We have another Harry Connick Jr. fan on our hands!!!  Whenever he sings (any song) she gets to dancing, no matter where she is or what she's doing.  She was having a snack here and thought she better boogie a little too.  She's got a wiggly little left arm... it's her favorite dance move.

Disney Princess show

 Donald, Mickey, Minney and Goofy all helped to tell the Princess stories.

 The 7 Dwarfs... that little Dopey is so darn cute!

 Cinderella and her fairy Godmother.

 The only picture I took of Dani!  I'm such a dope.  She was so cute in her princess dress, tiara and princess purse.  Dani had so much fun.  It was all very magical to her... just as a Disney princess show should be.  She also loved hanging out with just Mommy and Daddy, and getting all the attention to herself.  We should really do some of that more often.  Thanks Grandma and Grandpa for watching Keni! 

 Belle and her Beast... who's not so beastly anymore.

The finale!

Belle's song

I didn't think of getting videos until Beauty and The Beast came on, so there are no videos of Cinderella or Snow White (which is probably good... I get a little video crazy).

Be Our Guest (1)

Be Our Guest (2)

The little boy in front of us kept getting in my camera shot, so I had to break up this song into a couple videos... had to get it though cuz it was so cute!

Gaston

Belle and her Prince

Princesses

Happy Halloween!

 Jessie is ready for school... yee-haw!!!

 We tried a puppy costume, but she just wasn't having it.  So Elmo to the rescue!

 Trick-or-treating at Daddy's office.

 Having a showdown.

 Checking out their goodies.

 On the way to their friend Kyla's house to trick-or-treat in their non-FEMA neighborhood.

Getchu!

Night-night... morning!

Getting settled

 A favorite place to play

 These two girls couldn't be happier about sharing a room... they have so much fun together!

 Kendella's very first ponytail... it lasted 30 seconds.

 Daddy TRYING to set up the cable box.  It took about 3 times longer that usual... can't imagine why.

 Always side by side.

 They missed their swingset so much!  We've been outside playing and going for walks every day.  Stay away cold weather!!

My girl is 5!

 Some of our party guests

 Loving all her loot!  She still takes about 5 minutes to open just one gift... really savors it!

 Keni found her best buddy right away!

 Dani and her gift opening assistant, Hannah.  :)

 Jasten is trying pretty hard to get that baby.  But Keni The Hulk isn't letting go.

 Their first day of freedom... they look exhausted don't they? 

The yucky part of birthdays... having to open all those boxes, cut all those tags, and read all those directions.

Thanks to all who came to Danica's birthday party!  She told me many times how it was the best day ever.  It really was fun, and she loves hanging out with all her friends and family.  I'm still in denial though that I have a 5 year old.

Crazy dancing

More October fun

 The pumpkin masterpieces.

 Oh, the mischievious things that brain is cooking up!

 Is that a ghost behind Dani?

 Loving on her buddy.

 Doing a little downward dog... gotta get that daily yoga in!

 Ready for school... just like big sissy!

Some October fun

 Keni's favorite activity at Ali and Jared's house.

 That good Auntie Ali brought home a couple pumpkins for her and Danica to carve.  It sure was fun for Dani, but of course she wouldn't touch the yucky pumpkin guts.

 Jared and his buddy relaxing while the big girls carved pumpkins.
