Yes, that's Cool Whip

Can you see Emma's true motivation in helping out in the kitchen? You'd help out too if you got a spoonful of Cool Whip.

Princess for a day

Kristen came all the way from New York for a visit and she always likes to treat Princess Emma to something super fun and special! Totally decked out in matching pink shirts and double french braids, we went to the mall where Reese was left all alone in Libby Liu with 3 girls sprinkling glitter into bottles and squealing about how "cute" everything was. He was a sport as he watched Emma make 2 of her very own creations- lip gloss and lotion! Our visit with Kristen was sooo much fun and we can't wait to do it again. :)

A theme here?

Seems like we may have many similar pics to come... you gotta keep your eye on this kid. He may be naughty, but a darn cutie.

Train Ride!

We went with the whole Nottingham gang on a really cool train ride in Knightstown! We all had to bundle up in the "bitter cold" as Josh called it (probably because he is bitter
that it's cold). We stopped to pick pumpkins in a patch, which was quite a challenge since 90% of them were rotten. Emma was up to the challenge and found herself the "perfect" one!

More tight spots

Just a couple more tight spots our Reese has gotten himself into! The top one is what he was doing to entertain himself during Emma's last ballet class. The bottom is his prime hide-n-seek spot while Emma was the seeker. Okay, mommy helped a little.

I graduated!

Miss Johanna says she's ready for the intermediate class, but we think we're gonna give gymnastics a shot!

At the barre

These girls were all over the place (note the 5 totally different positions when they're all supposed to be following Miss Johanna), but I managed to capture Emma in a still moment! We'll pretend she's the one who's actually doing what she's supposed to...

Miss Johanna

Check out these ballerinas... Emma is over to the right in the purple "ballet dress." The first night we got it, she slept in it- ballet shoes, too. Her teacher Miss Johanna let us come in for the
last class and we got to see how much they've learned and it was quite entertaining! :)
