American Girl and Obstacle course

We are definitely keeping busy over vacation.  We went to AG again for a late lunch.  That place is just too much, but the girls LOVE it.  Catherine brought her own money and bought a skiing outfit and back pack for her doll.  We also spent a day at Jordan's furniture.  They have this obstacle course/zip line for the kids and lots of space for running around.  The kids had a blast.

Great Wolf Lodge!

We went Great Wolf Lodge for the night.  The girls had fun swimming and playing in the arcade!  Not sure if we would go back.  The girls are so spoiled having the pool at the weymouth club and when we go skiing, they were just happy hanging with Kate and Emma!

Charlotte & Ruby

Love these girls!

Happy 6th year!

Dear Catherine Gracie,

Could you get any more sassier and smart!   You continue to make us laugh with your crazy, funny, dramatic personality.  At times you are so grown up beyond your age and other times you want to be a baby and want us to hold you.  I secretly love those times, when I get to hold you like that.   The things you are doing these days....reading chapter books like a pro, you have your teacher write down how many minutes a night you need to read, just like Charlotte.   When I try and have you read to me,  you say let's just read in our brains tonight, ok mommy.  The nights you do read to me, I just love to listen to you.  It amazes me how 2 months ago you were just doing sight words and all of a sudden you are full on reading chapter books.  Just like big sis.  You have your core group of friends still, Kate, Emma, Gabby, Maeve, Kelly, Neve, Ava and Juliette.  You still love your arts and crafts.  You are really, really good at Irish step.  You love gymnastics.  You have completely retired from soccer.
You can't wait to ski this year.  Not sure if its because you love to ski or because you get lots of candy!!

You have also taken up sewing!  You love it!  Your teacher is a contestant on Project Runway Junior!

The things you come out with sometimes we don't know where you get them from.  You still plan on marrying Tommy, although you two are on a "break" right now.  "Don't worry mommy we will get back together."   You drew a picture of Tommy and you at the park with your baby.
We are definitely in trouble with your sass.  You still don't understand the word no.  You think you can do whatever you want, when you want to.   You follow your own rules. You are still obsessed with watching shows.  You can barely make it through the school week with no tv!

You are such a shining star Gracie Bear, we love you so much.   Looking forward to seeing what happens in your 6th year.  Be happy always!

I love you a bushel and a peck!!
xo Mommy

Nutcracker!!

We went to see the Nutcracker on Sunday with the whole crew.  We started out at Max Brenner for brunch.  I think the girls enjoyed that more than the Nutcracker.  They wanted to know why there was no talking!   It was such a fun day!!!

Bestie sleepover!

Still going strong 6 years later.   Love them together!

Halloween fun!
