Merry Christmas!

Cute Christmas Picture

I thought this was a cute picture of Nora from Mom to Mom at church.  What a ham!

Trunk or Treat

We love Trunk or Treat at our church each year and this October's festivities were no exception!  Nora debuted her Cinderella costume that my mom made.  She looked precious and had a great time collecting candy and other goodies with JoJo.  Thanks Mom to Mom for another great event!

Pajama Day Party at CWP!

On the Thursday before Halloween, Nora and her friends in Ms. Peggy's class had their Pajama Day Party!  They had lots of fun doing crafts, eating special snacks, reading a story and playing a fun game.  It's always so much fun to be a part of these fun celebrations!

Fall Festival

Just to make sure that we hit every party in the area, Nora and I headed down to the Fall Festival at the cousin's school.  Nora dressed up in a fairy costume and looked precious, especially after she had her face painted.  She was so patient and cute while she was having her face done!  She had lots of fun running around with her cousins, playing games, winning prizes and getting her picture taken.  We finished up the craziness with dinner at The Chick with the Ogle clan.  Lots of fun and lots of laughter!

Texas State Fair

Mark took off the Thursday of Nora's Fall Break to take us to the Texas State Fair.  It was the first time that we took Nora and we all had a great time!  We watched lots of shows, Nora rode rides and played a few games!  We all had so much fun that we've decided that it should be an annual event for the Newman family!

Pumpkin Patch with Mom to Mom

We headed back to the Big Orange Pumpkin Patch with my Mom to Mom group.  We had a great time again, just got a little muddy!  Thanks Lisa for driving us and taking care of Nora that afternoon while I went to the doctor.

First Boy/Girl Items

I couldn't resist buying our first boy/girl twin items for the babies! Plus, my friend, Sara Kelly, purchased this precious little booties.  Our first boy/girl gift!  So sweet, cute and little!  I forget how little bity they are going to be!

First Gymnastics Class

Nora and her bestie, YoYo (Jordan), starting taking gymnastics on Monday nights.  I took a bunch of pictures of them during that first week.  They were so cute and had so much fun.  I can already see big changes in them each week.  It is so much fun to watch them grow and learn!

Great Orange Pumpkin Patch

We picked up Jordan and headed to the Great Orange Pumpkin Patch to meet Team Rissmiller. The weather was beautiful! What a great, fun day to kick off Fall (almost) and pumpkin celebrations!

Fist Baby Gifts for the Twins!

We got our first baby gift for the twins, so I had to post a picture!  How precious are they going to look in their matching gowns?!?  They are super sweet!  Thanks to the Wheelis family and Nana Noni for sharing our special news and excitement!  (Thanks to our cute model as well!)

Mark Heads to Rocky Top!

Mark flew out last Friday to head to Knoxville for the Tennessee-Cincinnati game.  Before he left, he had a fun morning with Miss New.  Had to take a quick picture before he headed out!

He definitely had a great time with my cousins (although they are Cincinnati alums) and watching TN win!  Nora and I kept busy with a Friday afternoon playdate, Saturday morning fun at the park with some friends, swimming and dinner with the cousins, baking cookies, Sunday School and lunch at church.  After Sunday afternoon naps, Daddy made it home and brought a little "Smokey" with him just for our girl.  She is already sleeping with it every night.  We then rounded out our super busy weekend with playtime and dinner with the Wheelis family.  Thank goodness for them feeding us the last few weeks!
