Birthday, Thanksgiving, & Haircuts



I'll just put everything into one post since I'm a bit behind.  Ella turned 3!  She's a fun, energetic, center of attention little girl and I love her for being so outgoing.  We celebrated with grandparents the day after her birthday on Thanksgiving.  She asked everyday if it was her birthday yet and it finally was.
  My parents flew in from Ohio to spend 5 days with us over the holiday, it was so nice to have them here and see our new home.  My grandpa, aunts, & uncles also flew in and stayed in Arvada with my Aunt & Uncle.  They ended up coming over yesterday to check out our house too.  It's nice to finally be in a place where there is family. 
    Then I made the hard decision to cut Owen's long locks.  It was getting in his eyes so we took him to Jack & Jill's children's hair salon.  He was ok for the first 5 minutes, but when the hairstylist had to keep cutting he wasn't having it.  He cried and wanted out of there fast.  Now he looks like a little man, I really miss the curls so I think I'll be letting it grow in until I see them again :)

The big 6

Riley turned 6 this past Friday!  I can't believe it, she's such a big girl and is always very helpful at home.  She entertains Owen and keeps Ella busy for hours.  She loves kindergarten and is starting to read and write really well.  I can't believe the things she says sometimes, she seems so grown up already.  We had a birthday weekend for her, we celebrated at home on her b-day, went out to eat with Grandpa & Grandma Eberhard, and went to an indoor amusement park with her friends.  I'm exhausted, but we still have another birthday girl coming up in a week!
This was from when we got our flu shots, we got to meet the Colorado Rockies mascot
