Manicures

Lexi asked Daddy if she could paint his nails. Daddy said no because it was for girls. Lexi was sad, so I decided to do a family activity of tracing our hands and then painting our "nails" on the paper! We had a blast!

Then Daddy painted all Lexi's nails for real!

The First Snow

Lexi was SO thrilled it snowed the other week that of course we had to bundle up and head outside!

Upset I took a picture instead of letting her go outside RIGHT then.

Rosie was very curious....

Very tentative to step in it for the first time!

Come on Lexi!

Rosie 

After she stepped in it, it was the best ever!!! 

Mommy & Lexi

We built a snowman!!!!

Rosy cheeks!

THAT WAS SO FUN!

Just LEAF the sweeping to us!

In the previous post, I mentioned we had to sweep all the leaves this fall since none of own a rake. It worked pretty well!

On a side note, Terrell loves playing (I mean beating up) Corban and Zander. It's so funny to watch!

Fall Friends

This post is late, but the pictures (the last 2 especially) were way too cute.

Corban and Zander are Lexi's bestest buds. They live right next door, and she prays for them every night. She calls them her Princes.

sweeping the leaves because we don't have a rake.

Corban kept burying himself, and you literally could NOT see him because he'd go all the way under!

RARRR! Popping out of the leaves.

Corban, Zander, & Lexi Forever

This melts my heart.
