Okay, I know I have been a complete slacker about keeping this thing updated. Let's just say once you let a couple things slide it then becomes a huge mountain of catch up.
Instead of trying to individual catch up posts I am doing one big one and hoping I hit most of the highlights and then I promise to do better. I have actually decided to set aside Sunday afternoons to write the blog and letters. So, we'll see how that goes.
The girls had a huge sleepover for their birthday. They invited friends from the old ward, new ward, and homeschool friends! They invited a total of 15 girls, 14 were able to come! At first we didn't think that all the girls would be allowed to spend the night, which was fine with me. In the end though 13 of the 14 girls spent the night! So, we had a total of 15 girls there, counting Mia and Emma, spending the night for their birthday! Things were crazy!
We had the Wii going in one room, the karaoke machine going in another. Girls sliding down the steps in sleeping bags. Girls drawing, reading, and just having fun. There were girls talking, screaming, shrieking, giggling, and laughing, in just about every corner of the house! Mia and Emma opened presents.We had a pinata in the backyard filled with candy because in case you couldn't tell we weren't hyped up on enough sugar yet!
I finally ended up having to threaten to turn into "mean Marci" if they didn't go to sleep at 4 in the morning! By 4:30 they were all sound asleep!
I made cinnamon rolls for breakfast and then parents started to come and pick up their sugar filled and tired girls! I was beat!
Emma did get her ears pierced and was able to change them to fun earrings on our anniversary. It wasn't planned, it just worked out to be 8 weeks after we got it done. But we did get a Happy Anniversary after a yell of excitement, "Do you know what day it is? Time for fun earrings! Oh, and Happy Anniversary."
So now both my girly-girls have their ears pierced and get to wear the "fun"earrings. They love to change their earrings to match their outfits. They also love to shop for earrings but that's a whole other story!
Austin left us at the end of October and went back home. Isaac flew in for a week after he got off his mission and Austin and Isaac flew home to PA together. Thanks for the visit, we miss you guys!
Halloween 2010 saw the girls looking cute as could be! We attended our first ward activity in our new Rialto 1st ward. Mia was Spidergirl and Emma was Alice. Erik went as Indiana Jones and I went as a Hick, I know big stretch for me. ;)
We had Thanksgiving dinner at Mammy and Grandpa's and to carry on a tradition that the girls wanted to start a few years ago, the girls got to make a fun dessert. This year they made cake balls on a stick and they decorated them to look like turkeys.
While there we also bought chocolate covered bugs to try. Well, Erik, Emma and I tried them. Mia couldn't get pass the fact that they were bugs! They were just chocolate and crunchy!
