Happy Halloween

Isabel was suppose to be a penguin this year. Granny LaLa made her a cute little costume, but I got this Snow White costume for her as a dress up outfit to play with and she hasn't taken it off since. So......now she is a princess like 99% of the other 3 year old girls. Claudia is the cutest ladybug! Izzy and Claudia hang out with their friends a cowboy, 2 pirates, a pirate princess and a cowgirl. Happy Halloween everyone.

Disneyland

We had a blast on our vacation to Disneyland. The girls bonded immediately and never stopped playing during the entire trip. They also looked adorable in their matching outfits, thanks to Auntie Lisa. Family picture in front of the gates of Disneyland.

Claudia was a hit with her Minni Mouse ears. Hmmmm, maybe this will be a future Halloween costume for her next year???

Claudia and i hang out. She did great on many rides. She may like the rollercoaster in a few more years.

We had great views of the evening parade. The parade was awesome and the girls loved seeing all the princesses.

We finally found the princesses house....aka castle.

These two were like peas in a pod. The loved playing together. It was so funny to listen to their little conversations. They constantly made up games that they played together while we waited in lines.

Cousins at play.

Family picture with Mickey, Izzy was not impressed with Mickey's big ears!

Pa heads out for a ride.

Sophia bonds with Alice in Wonderland.

I first went on this ride with Ma and we could see Izzy crying while watching us. I assume she was crying because I left for to go on the ride. I was SO wrong. This girl was crying because she wanted to go on the ride too. I was amazed that Izzy wanted to go on this ride, but this was just the start of many fast and fun rides.
She really seemed to enjoy most of the rides.

Swimming

Sadly, it is now too cold to use our pool but Isabel continues with her swimming lessons. She is making great progress. Her teachers says once she gains more confidence her skills will really improve. Claudia likes to do a little lite reading in the evenings.

Nana and Grandpa have embarked on a journey across the United States to come and visit us. Each night we put together her puzzle of the U.S. and point out what states Nana and Grandpa are currently in. They are getting closer and closer.

Here is a video of Izzy and her mate, Jacob, in swimming class. They have a great time together in class.
