The Big 2

C and V had a wonderful time at their 2nd birthday party last weekend.  Thanks to everyone who made it out to celebrate with us!

Fall Fests

A couple weeks back we hit the St Charles Scarecrow Festival with Grandpa Paul.

We went to the River Trail Nature Center's Fall Festival.  The Girls brought their strollers along and  enjoyed a walk in the Woods.  C & V saw two owls, a hawk a bald eagle, lots of turtles and plenty of snakes.

After a little apprehension, the Girls ended up enjoying a hayride through the Forest Preserve.

We enjoyed lunch while the Bluegrass Band played in the background and  the  Musket Demonstrations boomed loud enough to scare pretty much every little kid at the Fest.

Here the Girls pose for a photo with their friends (Left to Right): Eden, Caroline, Emmett, Connor and Victoria.

The Beautiful Shop

On their 2nd birthday, C and V asked that their mom stop giving them bad haircuts!  So off to the beautiful shop we went...

Mom and Dad were shocked at how smoothly the experience went.  Caroline was the first up and she was a happy clam in the taxi watching a Dora DVD.

It was a read deal haircut...with clips and all!

Victoria soon followed and was very excited to get the choo choo.

Studying the technique

Neither C nor V were big fans of the hair dryers, but they managed through

Voila!  Victoria's first pigtails!
