Princesses? More like Divas.

It's flu shot season!  Both girls were VERY brave this year about the shots.  I have memories of freaking out and gaining superhuman strength and throwing absolute fits when it was time for shots.  Ridiculous.  Sorry mom.  Proud of our girls!
We love picking Millie up from school!  She's always in a great mood.
Syd is killing it on the balance bike lately.  Such a big girl!
The girls love riding in daddy's race car with the windows down.  We had an amazing run of weather this fall.  It made everything more fun!
Princess brunch with Elsa and Anna for charity!
I signed us up for this princess brunch, but it turned out to be one of those hard outings.  Millie cried the whole way there and everyone was grumpy and not minding well.  I'm not sure what the deal was, but I instantly regretted buying the tickets.  Sometimes these outings are so fun and worth it!  Other times, they make me lose my mind.  Small children can be so ungrateful.  Thankfully, Nana was there to help keep our spirits up!

She wouldn't wear her glasses because she said princesses don't wear glasses.  Made me sad.  We've talked about it since then, but it's been an adjustment.

Jekyll and Hyde:  Syd wouldn't talk to Anna at all.

One of my favorite pics of all time.  Funny how pics can be deceiving. ;)
This was our last morning bike ride of the year.  We had hats and gloves, since it was in the 40s...but man, it was lovely.  Some of my most favorite moments of 2016 were on these morning bike rides.
Still celebrating the wondrous weather, we set out on an afternoon trip to the zoo.
Papa met us there!  Just the four of us: riding trains, talking to the animals, and eating popcorn.  The perfect day!


Goodnight faces <3

Chips place with the besties.  So happy to have the gang back together permanently.  We see them almost every day!
Millie school stuff: this bat fairy butterfly made my day.  Especially when I asked what it was and she rattled off "it's a bat fairy butterfly" immediately.  I laughed.
We have a new president!  Apparently Millie voted...
She said this was for Thanksgiving.  I think it's a teepee.
Isn't this a great?!  Nice work, Mills!
She loves art class at school

Love seeing her drawings.  This lion is the best.
Syd's fall party was fun!  I'm homeroom mom, so I had to plan the party and I made these cute rice krispie treat turkeys that the kiddos loved.  So easy.  I loved stuff like this when I was little, so I try to make the effort.  Worth it when you see the kiddos spot them.

Impressive coloring - almost stayed in the lines!
I went to Austin for a weekend to visit my friend Ashley.  JKK always does fun things with the girls while I'm away...like this bike train that made me bust out laughing when he sent me this pic.  
He's such a good daddy.
The gang.  The daily park time has been lovely.  Sad the cold weather is finally hitting and we'll have to move the party indoors.
She was proud of her Thanksgiving hat.  The crazy hair really works with it.
New red glasses are wicked cool!
Thanksgiving flashback: Bubba and JKK circa 2001
Yesterday, I took the girls for haircuts.  Mills has been dying to cut hers shorter.  It's very cute on her!  Hopefully this will mean less tangles because she's very tender-headed.
Syd got a trim too.  Not much, but of course, she wanted the before and after pics. ;)  Love that they picked princess dresses to wear to get their hair cut.  Very fancy.
