Emily's birthday evening at Chuck E Cheese!

The girls had a blast!

Playing with a birthday train set from pop and gram!

We started off Emily's birthday at the new aquarium!

The girls loved looking into all the tanks!

But their favorite activity was touching the rays!!

There were some fun dress up costumes at the end!

Rachel's best fish impersonation :)

Happy 4th birthday Emily!!  We love you :)

Zoo Lights!!  We love going to these every year!On the train!  The girls love this part :)

Grammy's candy cane slippers were a big hit! :)

Not sure why this isn't flipping right side up, but still

had to share the girls' santa pic!! :)

Right before their Christmas concert...our pretty girls!! :)

Rachel's turn :)

The girls were big fans of the Oregon Ducks this year!  They got

matching shirts from grammy and HAD to wear them every Saturday! 

TOUCHDOWN! 

Posing with the Oregon santa hat!

Rachel too! :)

Emily's snowman drawing...she's getting so grown up on us...

They made a bath "train" to carry all their friends!  Too cute!

We got our tree up!  Looking adorable with daddy!

And being cute with mommy too :)

Happy Halloween!!!

Emily getting into the Halloween mode! :P

Rachel's turn :)

Rachel was delighted when she put on her costume and
realized she really looked like one of her fave characters
from Disney's Jake and the Neverland Pirates!

Emily decided she needed to further research her
character to better portray Minnie properly :)

Cute little pirate gal....arrrrr! :)

Sweet Minnie Mouse!! :)

No Grammy, we want to go THIS way!!! :P

About to sift through the loot!

Hugs for daddy!

Mommy's precious girls :)
