Nov 2015 - March 2016

I've been teaching Spanish to my girls and a couple neighbor kids. Craft day is our favorite! (Nov. 2015)

Enough purses??

I hosted Thanksgiving for both of our families in 2015. I think there were 32 people. Good thing we have a big house!

Practicing important life skills

Can you tell Aubry has Harry Potter loving big sisters?! (Dec. 2015)

Someone got into mom's mascara!

Christmas at our house with my family

Playing with one of her Christmas presents...a screen-free sensory activity box. This has turned out to a favorite! (Jan. 2016)

Playing with make-up just like her big sisters

Even grocery shopping with her best friend (and cousin) is awesome! (Feb. 2016)

First haircut. Don't let her expression fool you. She wasn't scared or sad. Just totally zoned out on the movie that was playing for her

Thank goodness for Dollar Store props!

These two can be crazy together! (March 2016)

Last school year, I would watch Lily one morning a week while her mom would volunteer at the school. We had a tea party almost every time. (I learned quickly that a towel on the table was AWESOME for quick clean-up after 😆)

UK trip in June 2015

In the summer of 2015 (geez I'm terrible at keeping this blog up to date!), the girls and I and my sister and her son all went to England & Scotland. We traveled around the country for 2 weeks trying to see as much as we could. It was amazing! We all had such a fabulous time. Even though Aubry was young, she will see a picture of a castle in a book and say "We went there!" I don't know how much she actually remembers but I still think that's pretty cool!

On our way to London, England!!

Checking out the sights on the London Eye

Buckingham Palace. Sadly, we just didn't have time for tea with the Queen :)

The Tower of London

Stonehenge. This was a childhood dream of mine, to see this incredible site. And it was every bit as impressive in person.

Exhausted after long flights and busy days

Every time we would pass a busker on the street, Aubry would start dancing to their music. She LOVES music!

We toured the royal ship HMS Brittania. Aubry loved the little stuffed corgi dog they had on board to represent the Queen's beloved pets.

Pretty excited about her GIANT lollipop!

Inverness, Scotland

We all got pretty good at riding the public transportation

Dressed up in 18th century Scottish clothes at Culloden visitor center

The ruins of Urqhart Castle

Hanging out on the train
