Anna's Artwork

More artwork from preschool







Anna's Thanksgiving Preschool Crafts

On the same day that Ashley went to her Thanksgiving Party, Anna came home from preschool with these. She was pretty stoked as well. I love how she wrote Anna Stilley in the first turkey (the feathers cover up Anna) but you can see Stilley clearly. She told me she asked her teachers for help in spelling Stilley. (I don't think she likes going by Anna St on all her work! too funny!)




Ashley's stick drawings

Here is Ashley's self portrait with her name written. She was pretty proud of having drawn legs and toes! She had already mastered the smiley face :)




Here is Ashley's drawing of Mia (Kate's Puppy Dog). (see the green waggily tail mommy?)


Thanksgiving Party

Last Thursday I had signed up Ashley for a Thanksgiving Party at Blue Valley Rec. Grammy came and took her to the party and they had a blast! She came home with a ton of projects (where she wrote her name on all of them) and had a Thanksgiving cookie at the activity. The lady in charge was so impressed with her feather turkey that she took a picture of it. Ashley had so much fun sharing her creations with us when she got home and loved the time with Grammy.

Can't wait for the Christmas one coming up soon :)

Much Love,

Sophia the First Watch Party

Last night Kate, Aunt Anne, Grama, Papa and the Stilley girls (Daddy stayed at home to do some work) had an incredible Sophia the First watch party.  We went to Nama and Papa's house for dinner and then the fun movie where Ariel appeared in the show!  We brought some party drinks (sparkling apple cider) and we had a toast to the fun night!

It was a great movie and a wonderful night. Next week we have another watch party lined up...Dock McStuffin's Christmas movie at Grama and Papa's!  We can't wait!
 
Love,
Anna and Ashley

 CHEERS!


Fall Family Photos

I can't believe I forgot to post these....

A couple of weeks ago we went out as a family to Corporate woods to take some family pictures by ourselves with the handy dandy timer. I was not up for the stress of "official" family pictures and thought we'd try this for a change. I think they turned out pretty nice. It helped that halfway through using the timer a man stopped and took my camera and snapped away.

 This is my favorite one taken with the timer. For the life of us we couldn't get Abby to look at the camera because she was watching me run back from the camera and then she'd just look and smile at me. This one caught us all laughing at her and telling her to look at the camera; not mommy!


 One of me and my 2 big girls!
 Yup, Abby thought it was so funny watching me run back and forth!!!

Finally the person who volunteered to take our picture got her looking somewhat at the camera- I think here she was loving the trees!


I was satisfied enough with that one so the big girls  got their special drink to share and we went on a nature walk to collect leaves for crafts! Super fun day!


Much Love,
Jenny

I just LOVE tummy time! I am now pushing up on my arms to where my belly button is no longer on the floor. I am getting so strong! I even did the "worm" the other day :)

Love,
Abby
