The Kitchen

Lola and Grandpa got the girls a play kitchen for Christmas. We set it up early because we knew how much they would enjoy it...and they love it! Thanks Lola and Grandpa. It keeps them busy and out of trouble :)

Addison is testing out the oven mitt.
Gracie loves watermelon, even if it is fake!

Addy is going to be a wonderful chef someday!

Gracie is getting ready to put something in the oven.

Thanksgiving in Seattle

The girls went on their third airplane ride to Seattle for Thanksgiving. (They were angels of course...already pros on the plane). We got to spend the holiday with Lola and Grandpa Sochulak, Auntie Vanessa, Auntie Jill, and little Nico. The girls enjoyed meeting their cousin for the first time, as Gary and I enjoyed meeting our nephew for the first time! The weather was great while we visited...only lightly rained one day and then the day we were leaving! It was very nice hanging out with the family while the girls showed off all of their tricks. It was unfortunately a quick trip and hard to say good-bye. Until next time...

Daddy and Gracie hangin' out.
Addison is ready to tackle the cold weather!

The girls got to go to the Seattle Aquarium and saw lots of neat fish. They make a cute jelly-fish!

Gracie was testing out Nico's pappasan chair. Makes you realize how big they are and how fast they grow up! :(

Our newest nephew and cousin Nico...snug as a bug in a rug!

Lola and Grandpa gave them babies to play with...they are mommys already!

The cutest picture! Addison with her cousin Bella.

Gracie, your sweet smile can make anyone happy.

Addy looking awfully content.

Addison, Gracie and Nico. Nico is tired from those energetic girls!

Sisterly Love!

I caught Gracie showing some love for her sister. I had to share these with you all! You know, having twins can be tough sometimes, but it can sure have its benefits. I look forward to witnessing their special bond throughout their life...

Apple Hill

A Fall favorite if you live in our area is Apple Hill. It's all about the apple ranches where you can find delicious apple cider, apple pie, caramel apples, the list goes on and on. The girls had a great time visiting all the orchards, especially since they were with their Auntie Lisa and her friend Christine from Georgia. We plan on going back every year and making it a fall family tradition!

Here are the girls at our first stop...Abel's Apple Acres.
Gracie really wanted to drive the golf cart taxi. Scary thought seeing them behind the wheel!

Addison is having a ball joking with Auntie Lisa.

Gracie wanted to join the fun too!

Gracie was playing peek-a-boo with Auntie Lisa.

Addison has discovered how to stick her tongue out back and forth like a lizard. Not sure where she learned it, but it is quite funny to watch.
