Thanksgiving

We had a fantastic Thanksgiving. We went over to our friend's house for a true Thanksgiving feast! Magnolia was in her glory because she got to spend the whole evening with her best friend, Sofi. She also met 2 other little boys who were both the same age as Magnolia. It was a night filled with great food, friends and laughter.
When we asked Magnolia what she is thankful for this year she said that she is thankful for all of her friends and family who read her blog and also said that she loves you all very much! ;)

Happy Birthday Daddy!

Happy Brithday to the most amazing husband, father and friend. May the next year bring you as much joy and happiness in your life as what you bring to Magnolia and I everyday. We love you more than you will ever know!

Girls Day Out

Magnolia had a very special day today! She got to go and get a pedicure with her best friends Sofi and Bella. I must say, it was the cutest thing I have ever seen. She climbed right up in the chair and was all business. She sat so still and was so very serious the whole time. It was so cute because she got to pick out her polish... I thought she needed my help so I picked a very pretty pink for her. I guess she is a big girl now because she did not want my help and picked out a purple sparkle one. She loved that purple one so we compromised. She got the pink with purple glitters on top. Her toes are by far the cutest toes around. She loves them as well. She has wanted one sock off the rest of the day and keeps looking down and touching her toes and then says "MMmmmmmm!!!!!!!!" The only thing that could have made the day even better is if the mommies got pedicures too! :)

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.
