Elf Magic Party

Last week, The Blue Willow (the best store around!!), hosted an Elf Magic Party. Mr. and Mrs. Santa Claus were there, as were elves Jingle and Jangle, a balloon artist, and lots of other fun activities. I had fun getting the kids dressed in their holiday outfits and attempting some Santa pics. Pictures were taken of us with Santa, but I haven't downloaded them off their site yet. I'll try and remember to post some later (ha!). The girls wrote a letter to Santa asking him to bring Jenna (our elf from last year) back and a friend so they each will have one. Guess I'll be heading back to The Blue Willow to find Jenna's sister!

Ethan was not a fan of Jangle, or Jingle, whichever one this is.

he did give out some high-fives. silly boy!

My beautiful girls watching the Elf Magic DVD.

Princesses Wishes

Gia and I took the girls to Disney on Ice: Princess Wishes. Allison dressed like Tinkerbell or as she says, "the star of the show," and Emily was Sleeping Beauty. Just as any good grandmother would do, Gia spoiled them rotten. Check out Tink's new shoes!! It was hard to get some great photos because they were skating so fast and my little camera wasn't able to capture them. I had such a fun girls-only afternoon!!

Halloween 2010

Here are our pics from Halloween. I had a Minnie Mouse, Little Bo Peep (turned Ariel) and an Oatmeal Bear. We all had a blast. Our good friends, the Millers, came over and had dinner and went trick-or-treating with us. The kids were great, minus Allison's complete melt down prior to leaving the house. We really enjoyed going around our new neighborhood and got lots of candy.

how cute is my little bear??!

A scene from our neighborhood. If you weren't careful, you'd get run over by a golf cart ;-)

true happiness!

and this is how we crossed the streets

So sorry.....

Dear friends and family,

I'm so sorry there are not any Halloween updates and pictures in general. My computer is dead and I don't know how to retrieve pictures or put new ones up. I'm having to use Mark's IPad and I'm not very good at it. I promise to posts some pics soon. Lots going on around the Kiel household - as usual! Keep coming back!!

Love, Jenn
