SHELBY'S FIRST THANKSGIVING

Shelby survived her first Thanksgiving.  She started the day with her sister's favorite parade, The Macys (and  Anabelles) Day Parade.  Anabelle said that next year will have to be the Macy, Anabelle and Shelby Parade.

It was an unusually warm day so the big girls headed to the park for some fun before all the cooking started. Very strange to see everyone outside walking and playing without coats and hats on Thanksgiving.

Thanksgiving was at Shelby's house. GG, Grandpa Bob, Alice and Alejandro all joined us for some turkey and fun for the rest of the day. It was perfect.

SHELBY ROSE WATSON

The Watson's are proud to announce Shelby Rose Watson joined the family at 12:04am on November 9th.  The was 8 lbs 0 oz and 20 inches (the exact same as her oldest sister).  She has been happy and healthy during her first week. Mom has done amazing also.

Here are a couple pictures and videos are being updated on the left side of the page.

Macy turned 2!

Wow, time truly does fly!  I can't believe Macy is 2 years old!  She had her 2-year doctor check-up and is doing great.  She's 27 lbs (56%) and 34 in (57%).  Perfect.

Mother's Day and Macy's 1st haircut

We had such a nice Mother's Day! 

I am so lucky to have these 2 super-sweet, loving, fun and silly girls in my life!

In other news, Macy got her 1st haircut!  She did such a great job sitting still (honestly, I was a bit nervous)!

Mom's artistic photography, I call it "Macy with Macy reflection in mirror."  It's too cute though, right?

Here's the finished product!  She looks thrilled, doesn't she!

Actually she was pretty excited about the whole process.  She kept saying, "My turn?!"  She usually has to just watch her big sister get to do all the fun things.  But, the hair looks adorable and she's ready for her big 2nd Birthday party this weekend!

Mom's Day at Anabelle's Preschool

This past week I got to go to school with Anabelle for a fun-filled Mom's Day!  The kids had worked so hard on making so many special treats for us and then even sang some songs for us, one of which made me cry ... You are my Sunshine!










Anabelle and her best friend, Jenna

I was so proud of my little girl.  She sang all the songs and was absolutely the cutest kid up there!

Then we went outside and released some butterflies that they've raised since they were caterpillars.  When her teacher said they came out of a cocoon, Anabelle immediately corrected her and said it was actually a chrysalis!  That's my girl. :)

It's been awhile

Sorry it's been so long since we've updated!  Things have been good.  Here's a quick recap of the month of 

April - 

Easter Family Photo

 

We went for an overnight stay at Mohican Lodge ... they had a pool which was a total highlight for the girls.

 New Game: Daddy Potato Head

Anabelle started soccer practice!  (Of course in a princess shirt.  It was either that or a pretty dress.)

 

Macy is one silly girl!  She'll be 2 in 2 weeks, but she thinks she 6!
