Little swimmer

We took Magnolia to an indoor swimming area today. Oh my gosh did she have fun! She was a little shy at first but once she figured out how much fun splashing was, there was no stopping her!

Ladybug sisters on Halloween

Here are some pictures of the cutest ladybugs arounds! Happy Halloween from the Maki sisters!

Grandma time!

Grandma Lori came and spent Halloween with us. We feel very lucky that she made it, she came in on Thursday, right when we were getting 24 inches of snow! Grandma brought Magnolia a Halloween bag filled with books and a really cool ball that Magnolia adores. She also showed Magnolia how to eat a sucker (Magnolia thought that the sucker was chapstick) and gave her a blueberry doughnut... ahh Magnolia is learning why grandparents are so wonderful! :)

Trick-or-treating

We have a little trick or treater pro on our hands. I must say, when we talked about taking Magnolia trick-or-treating I thought we would go to a house or two and that was about it. Boy were we wrong! Miss Magnolia really got into the whole thing and had a blast. She went trick or treating with her friend Tate. They figured out within minutes exactly what to do. They loved going up to the houses, knocking and getting the treats. They were so cute, they didnt care what they got, and didnt even know that they were getting some yummy things to eat. They just knew that it was really fun to knock on a door and someone will come right away and give them something to carry in their bags. Absolutely adorable!

Orange dinner

We celebrated Halloween with our annual Orange dinner. Magnolia was a very lucky girl and had all of her friends come for dinner and fun. All of her friends came in their costumes and there couldnt have been any cuter kids! Tate was a cow, Sofi came as a lepard, Bella was a pumpkin and Will was a monkey.

Let it snow!

Today was the day that Denver got dumped with snow for the first time of the season. So far we have gotten 16 inches and we still have another day for more! David's clinic closed at noon so he headed home for some fun. After Magnolia got up from nap we got her all bundled up and headed outside. It was perfect weather to play in. No wind, fairly warm and lots and lots of snow! It was so much fun and Magnolia had a blast! She was out playing in the snow for almost an hour and a half. We heard many giggles and even a few belly laughs as she threw snowballs that we would make or when David would juggle the snow balls. I would have never guessed that we would have such a little snow bunny!
Just to show how much snow we have... Magnolia is standing in the first picture!

Ready for snow

Yesterday we realized that we were in for a big snow storm today. David went shopping on his lunch break and I went shopping after Magnolia's nap to round up snow pants, boots, a hat, and mittens for Magnolia. All in all we think her winter outfit is the cutest one around... which is fitting seeing as it needed to go on the cutest girl around!
