Lighting of the Ozarks

We took the kids to the annual lighting of the downtown square and Christmas parade in Fayetteville. Ana Maria is really into Santa Claus and Christmas in general this year, much more than ever before! It is so much fun to see her facil expressions as she looks at everything.
*We were right behind the Duggar family watching the parade!! It was fun to people watch and look at them also :)

We went with Natalia, Andres, Santiago and Natalia's parents

Kathryn was exploring her 1st Christmas!

Emily & Anna Katherine

Our good friend and old neighbor, Emily, came to visit while she was in town for Thanksgiving. It was so much fun to see her and her sweet little girl, Anna Katherine. Ana Maria and her played so well together with our other neighbor Hunter. Tara came over and brought her kids to play with us also. It was a fun morning...we miss you in the nieghborhood Emily!

Another birthday party!

Ana Maria was invited to another fun birthday party for a sweet boy, Elias. Although he was turning much older than Ana Maris is, it was fun to see an older kids birthday party and what we have to look forward to!

Cora's 3rd Birthday

Ana Maria's best friend Cora had her 3rd birthday at Chuck E Cheese and it was so much fun! So much fun that I'm thinking of having Ana Maria's birthday there this year :) They interacted with the kids the whole time, it was organized and the kids had a blast. Here are some fun pictures of our morning there...


My sweet ballerina before we left...of course she slept in the car seat the whole time so we didn't get to show off her cute outfit to anyone!

Cora picked Ana Maria to go inside the ticket blaster with her...it was special but she cried and got out. Maybe next time!

She loves Chucke!!

Thanksgiving Feast at School

Ana Maria's school hosted a Thanksgiving feast for all the parents before Thanksgiving and it was delicious! Her class did not perform but they did make indian hats that her and her friend Delaney loved to wear the whole time. She loves school!

Her sweet placemat that she made

Our family minus Kathryn who was sleeping in the car seat next to us on the floor :)

Girls Night

We had a fun girls night out for Tara's birthday at Wine Cellar. There were about 10 girls there but I only got pictures of 4! Everyone else was talking so much, me too! It was a fun night!!
