Christmas Picture Time!

Mom had great plans of going to a cool old park for Christmas pictures this year, but the day we went to go got SO windy, that we could barely get out of the car! So she went with plan “B” and set up her little studio for us to play around with! We had fun again, picking our poses, and she had fun playing with her new equipment!

Look who started looking like a teenager overnight!

We love that Emily is still our fun-loving, goofy girl!

And Ben will always be our cute and huggable little bro

When it doesn’t snow in the South, we have to the bring our own!

Stay tuned for more, and enjoy your Christmas season!

Still our Santa Baby…

I may be getting bigger every year, but Mommy says I’ll always be her Santa baby…

Election night…

It’s election night here, and while we will accept whatever the outcome of this crazy election will be, we are all waiting until the day when our favorite candidate can run for president!

Go Cubs Go!

Our house has been nothing but baseball for a couple weeks here, as the Cubs made it into the World Series! Mommy doesn’t usually watch much, and when she does, she doesn’t get overly excited, but man, did she embrace her Chicago roots and cheer them on this year! The Cubs came back from a 3-1 deficit to play a historic and unbelievable game 7 of the World Series against the Cleveland Indians…

Maybe her passion for the Cubs goes back to high school when she got to throw out the first pitch at a Major League game in Wrigley Field…

 

Daddy was away on business, and Mommy didn’t want to watch alone, so she watched and paced, bit her nails and stress ate, cheered and celebrated with our neighbors who turned out to be die hard Cubbies fans! After going an extra inning and coming back strong after a rain delay at MIDNIGHT, the Cubs finally won their first championship in 108 years, and it turns out they waited to do it on Daddy’s 40th birthday! Mommy celebrated with the right people… they had a champagne toast and everything! She sure wished Daddy was there too, but she Facetimed him at the end, so he could see the win too!

Mommy was pretty excited to have found a little Chicago spirit right on our block all the way in North Carolina!

Today, one of Mommy's friends here, found this awesome deal at a bakery down here, so we headed out to claim our cupcakes for $1.08 and had a party after school!

 

Ben and Mommy even treated themselves to new Cubs hats today to celebrate!

“Go Cubs Go! Go Cubs Go! Hey Chicago, what do you day? The Cubs won the World Series today!!!!!”

Happy Halloween!

This year, I decided to be the Flash, and my sisters went as creepy zombie cheerleaders! Halloween in our new neighborhood was unlike anything we’d ever seen before… There were HUNDREDS of kids, and everyone sat outside with their candy so we didn’t even have to waste time ringing the doorbells! There were even special trick-or-treat stops for the grown-ups to get special drinks to keep the night going! We had a blast! We started with some green screen fun and dinner with our friends…

Mor-Mor stayed home to give all the kids candy, but she made them work for it!

There were so many fun decorations!

 

I got tired after a couple of blocks, so Daddy took me home, but those girls kept on going!

 

What an awesome night! We hope your Halloween was half as fun as ours!
