Holiday snap

I'm thankful for the friends and family in our lives. I'm thankful for a beautiful girl that stood in line to see Santa and asked for socks. She is so wonderful and bright and smart and can be irritating and prideful and stubborn like her momma. She's my super hero loving, horse whispering, play dough playing, unit block building, imaginative and awesome kid.

Her mind is full of questions and big ideas. She loves books and snakes and dragons and lions and I love that she is so curious and is always seeking to learn more.

Aurora has grown so much in the past months. She wears size 12 shoes, and size 6 in clothes. She has strong opinions about her clothes. She wants to be awesome instead if cute.

My big hearted baby girl is growing too fast.

This, sweet friends, is what it's all about.

This morning Aurora decided to wear something a little more fancy. She picked out a dress that I told her was not really a dress for school and for playground play, so we compromised and chose this dress instead. This ensemble is complete with purple snake necklace and purple sneakers.

Howl O Ween

Halloween was great. I asked Aurora to close her eyes so I could paint the lion eyes. And as she sat so nicely getting her face painted, the sweet girl fell fast asleep. It's a tough life to be 5 you know!!

We trick or treated with some of our friends, then came home to pick our favorite candies before the great pumpkin came to leave a present.

The great pumpkin brought Aurora a beta fish, that she has named "rainbow toucan."
