We went with our friends to Brookside Gardens for the first time. They have a light and train show. The really cool part of the experience is that you walk to see the lights instead of driving. The girls had a great time and loved all the lights and trains!
The girls had a great Christmas despite the fact that all three were at urgent care Christmas Eve with ear infections. They had so much fun opening gifts Christmas morning but they were so different. Brooke had her presents open in about five minutes, Brynn loved each gift she opened and wanted to talk about each one, Lexi opened her gifts slowly removed all paper and tape from her area and then put her gifts in a perfect pile that she watched over! Hannah just loved everything and was so super excited all day!
Miss Liz came for a visit before Christmas and the girls had so much fun! They made ornaments for the Christmas tree and rice krispie snowmen. Thanks Miss Liz!
The girls have loved all of the holiday activities that we have been attending. We went to a story time with Santa in our neighborhood. All the kids came in their pj's and the girls all got their picture taken with Santa. This was a huge accomplishment for Brynn!
Brynn's favorite part of the night was her blue candy-cane.
Hannah and I went to see Frosty with her brownie troop.
Santa came through our neighborhood on a firetruck last weekend. All four girls were very excited to see Santa on the truck. It was so cold it was hard to wait outside. When we finally heard the siren and opened our front door Santa was driving away. Then the tears started because they were so excited and had been waiting patiently all afternoon. Thanks to Michelle and Chad who let us invade their house and wait for Santa since he had not made it there yet!
I have not been keeping up with the blog, life as been so busy! The girls all four are doing great in school and love going each day! We have been trying to get ready for Christmas. My mom and I took the girls for a photo session for a Christmas card picture. It was interesting and so hard to get a good picture of all four of them together. The good news is that I got one with all four of them in the photo and they are all four looking at the camera. I don't know if I would call it great but its checked off the list. They all loved decorating the Christmas tree and the house.
We also had a visit from Ms. Rachel who has been away at grad school. The girls love when she visits because it means many games of hide and seek!
Happy Halloween alittle late...which is the story of my life! The girls loved dressing up for Halloween this year. We went to a fall festival in our neighborhood, enjoyed snow a few days before Halloween (crazy), and went trick or treating.
Friday we were thrilled to attend the wedding of Liz and Mark. The girls have been so excited for this day since Miss Liz asked them to be in the wedding. They could not wait to see Miss Liz look like a princess. She was the most beautiful bride and was smiling the entire day!
As I waited for the wedding to begin, I thought about when I met Liz how scary things were for our family; liz was a nurse in the NICU when the triplets were born. All three girls were fighting for their lives. Liz was such a blessing to us and has become part of our family. Fast forward three and a half years and my girls are all four happy and healthy and sharing this wonderful day with Miss Liz and Mark. We were so happy that we could share this day with them and that the girls could be a part of it!
Congrats Liz and Mark! Wishing you a lifetime of happiness!
Getting ready..
Not loving outside pictures because it was getting cold.
Thursday night we went to Miss Liz and Mark's wedding rehearsal. The girls were so excited to be flower girls and Hannah was thrilled to be a junior bridesmaid. We had a great time meeting Liz and Mark's families and celebrating with them!
Brooke, Lexi and Brynn finished soccer this weekend and they each rerceived a medal. They were very excited to get an award! Hannah also had soccer on Sunday at the same time as the girls. Tom had a great idea to get a picture of all four in their soccer uniforms. I also thought this was a great idea. The girls had a different plan..they had no interest in doing this. Hannah refused to keep her soccer socks on for the photo, Brynn was starving and wanted chips, Lexi & Brooke were just not interested!
