Megan's 1st Birthday!

Megan is such a delight. She thoroughly enjoyed her 1st birthday celebration with all of her cousins. She had a candy cane themed party complete with candy cane decorated chocolate cake with peppermint icing. The present opening gave her a good warm up for Christmas, although she much prefers eating paper rather than tearing it. She got a laugh and learn kitchen and a few little toys and some clothes. Megan certainly has her own personality, but we are discovering each day just how joyful she is, and that our family wouldn't be complete without her!

Christmas Celebrations Begin

The girls always get a new ornament each year to signify something significant from the year. This year Megan got the word JOY - since it is her middle name and she has brought us so much joy. Anna got a microphone since she started talking this year and singing as well. Erin got Jessie from Toy Story her latest obsession. I bought the family an ornament this summer on vacation since we are now complete. We all have our own beach chair! We always have fun Thanksgiving weekend opening our ornaments and decorating the tree.

Breakfast with Santa

We have traditionally taken the girls to Breakfast with Santa at the Founder's Inn, but this year, CHKD sponsored a breakfast with Santa as a fundraiser. We thought that sounded like the perfect opportunity for us. It was so nice and will definitely be our new tradition. There was a beautiful breakfast buffet, lots of crafts and activities and free pictures with the big guy! The girls had so much fun and we were thankful to get the opportunity to support such a worthy cause!

Fall Fun

One of our favorite things to do in Fall is drive down the Colonial Parkway in Williamsburg. We love this one beautiful, gigantic tree and stopped to take a few pictures !

Our Newest Family Member....Yes, it's a girl!

Erin had a project for school where we had to work as a family to save a turkey from being Thanksgiving Dinner. We had to disguise the turkey to fit in with our family. Since we have 3 little princesses already, we thought it was only fitting that our turkey be a princess too! It was a very fun project and we are happy to say, our turkey is safe from the roaster!

Megan just keeps growing

On November 5th Megan decided to pull herself up on the couch. Within 5 minutes she was pulling herself up on the stool and then into the carseat. Now she prefers to be standing and holding on to something. I know pretty soon she will be letting go and trying to take steps. She has also thoroughly enjoyed playing in the leaves this year, and really likes the crunchy kind!

Halloween 2010

Ok - so last year when we knew we were going to be having a 3rd girl I said we should all dress up like the pink ladies from Grease and let daddy be Danny Zuko. Well, it didn't happen! Maybe next year. We did have 3 perfectly cute little girls that looked absolutely precious though. Erin was Jessie, her favorite obsession right now. Anna was Little Einstein's Rocket, her obsession for over a year now. Megan was the cow, all my babies have been the cow, and she is obsessed with milk, so it worked for her! We had a great picnic at the park with lots of friends and food and even a pinata and then went trick or treating. Anna seemed to really enjoy the idea of people giving her candy, but only lasted a few houses! Erin of course was all about it and knew what to expect. Megan got to ride along with her buddies also dressed in black and white - a skunk and a kitty. What a fun, sugar filled night!
