Birthday party fun!

In February, we went to Dominic's 3rd birthday party at Catch Air in Sandy Springs. It was such an awesome and nice place. I went by myself with both kids since daddy had to work...that was really tough. I am used to going places by myself with them, but not places like this. This was a new experience for me. Since the kids are at two very different stages in their playing ability, it was tough for me to be at two places at once. Madison being more independent, did very well playing on her own (as much as I would let her) while I stayed with Ashley, since she had just really started walking more. I would say that they both had a great time playing and neither wanted to leave when it was time to go. They were both so tired when we got home, that I had a nice break during nap time! Here are a few pictures from the party that I was able to get...

OK, so these are all of Ashley..like I said, I was with her most of the time since she needed more attention!

Holiday Season!

We had a wonderful holiday season this year! We are in our new house and are loving it! The girls have their own playroom, which is awesome because all the toys are not in the living room!

 Our Christmas tree!

 I just LOVE these two little girls so much. We have been so blessed with out two littles!!



Pink Pig!

This year, we took the girls to see the Pink Pig at Macys. Madison was TERRFIED of Priscilla the Pig, so no pictures of them.

 Ashley loved the ride and watching everything...hopefully next year will be better for both of them. But excited to start such a fun tradition with my girls!

 Ashley with her NaiNai...

Madison and cousin Rylie playing outside the ride after we went on the ride.

Thanksgiving!

 This is our little turkey! She fit right in there...and she loved being in there too!

 Madison LOVED helping me prepare the turkey the night before...kinda gross, but fun at the same time!

 Ashley loved her first Thanksgiving...she ate EVERYTHING that was put in front of her, including sweet potato casserole and green beans!

Sweet cousins! Madison just LOVES her cousin Rylie!

Random fun pictures!!

First Haircut!

 Madison did AWESOME for her first haircut! And it is adorable...I love it! She was so excited because she got to go with her cousin Rylie, or RyRy as she calls her. She was able to sit in two cars because she had to get some more cut off so that I could have some for her scrapbook.

This are the sweet cousins playing after the haircut! They had a great time that day. They played all day, as after the haircut, I had a surprise, or at least tried, baby shower for my sister. The girls literally played all afternoon...no nap for Madison as they were having way too much fun to stop!

November...

So...we did not have much going on last month. But here are a few pictures that I was able to get of the girls!

Halloween 2012

 Madison had a blast helping me "carve" the pumpkin! She cleaned out the entire pumpkin for me, and she LOVED it. She loves getting dirty, what a little tomboy...just like her mommy!

 I don't have the best pictures from trick or treating since it was just me this year, since daddy had to work :( but here are the best that I had!

 

 

One really funny story from that night...we went next door to our awesome neighbors house for dinner before we went out. We took over some cookies since they were kind enough to have me and my two kids over for dinner! They even had chicken nuggets for Madison to eat!! At about 615 we left to do our trick or treating. My plan was to only do about 10-15 houses in our neighborhood since it was a little chilly. Well...Madison had something else in mind. After the second house, she told me she had gotten enough candy and was done for the night! What 2 year old says they are done after 2 houses?!?! Only mine I would guess! After we were done, we went back over to our neighbors house to had out candy. Then she got cold and wanted to go home.

All in all, it was a great night for the Russo kids!!

A look back at summer...

 

So I decided to do a post about summer since we are slowly entering fall; which I love! I have selected some of my favorite pictures from our adventures...enjoy!
