halloween 2010.

We had an awesome Halloween year!! After 3 trips to the disney store and several mindchanges, Reese decided to be Cinderella, but not just Cinderella, she had to be Cinderella Bride...really? We even bought pocahontas as a backup but she was so cute as Cinderella Bride, we stuck with it. We all hung out at our house, the entire family, mom cooked and then we headed to our church's trunk or treat festival. Reese loved it!! Here's some pics...
Love the fall at our house, the pumpkins, mums (which are sadly, dead now...)

The night before they had their skeleton pj's on Gigi bought them and Reese had to do some posing...

Two cuties together, I love this pic of them...

Fat me with Reese & her favorite guy...

Reese & her Gigi...

Hanging out...

After Boo did the bounce house/slide with her...

We came home, I literally fell asleep and mom took her to Isabella's Gigi's to trick or treat with her (her best friend) and Reese had a blast!! She came home and Dallas and I had to pretend to be trick or treaters and ring the doorbell, she then had to look out the window before opening the door and giving us candy. She is a trip!! Next year will be even better!!

tea party at bedtime.

We got home from ballet last night and Reese (in a last ditch effort to prolong her bedtime) set up a tea party for just her & gigi. She was in heaven. (Gigi had to accept a call from Boo during their high tea...) so I snapped a quick pic of this moment. I've been missing way too many of these the past several months...

candyland.

Her new love...candyland. We have all played it (literally) 5 times a day. Papa was the lucky one this time around and thankfully he enjoys it. Reese is so lucky to have the best grandparents that play princess, lemonade stand and candyland til they fall out.

By the way, we have a team!! We are headed to the White Sox! Spring Training in Arizona so Daddy will be far away from us (since we can't go this year with baby mac #2 due in March) but AAA is in Charlotte! Whoo hoo!!

our room.

I've wanted to share this forever and finally shot some pics of our bedroom. Last fall we did a "rekindle" shoot with my friends and two fab photogs and I wanted to find a cool way to display them. I love it and Reese is obsessed! She LOVES to look up & see mommy & daddy "hugging" on the wall. (Although, in the one where I am resting my head on Dallas she asked why I was sleeping and not feeling very good...)

Look at me blogging again!! Oh how I've missed it!!

worker bee.

Since I was leaving for Arizona on Wednesday (I'm here for some photo shoots with some favorite clients!) I made Tuesday my family time/cleaning day (plus Reese had a teacher work day) so it was a fun day together with lots accomplished! Anyhoo, I gave Dallas a honey do list and while I was placing an order I asked him to "sweep" the back deck. His shadow followed him and the next thing I know, I hear the blower. I look out and our 3 year old is being outsourced for home improvement jobs! He was standing inside laughing at her (bc she was laughing hysterically that she could make things fly)...

Unsupervised, these two are TROUBLE.
