Rothleuter Christmas Tree


Today we made our annual trip to Home Depot to pick out our Christmas Tree. Gracie wanted to get the "biggest christmas tree ever" this year...so of course, Josie did too :) And we did not disappoint them as we came home with an 11ft tree!!! And it was not only TALL but very WIDE too so it was a little bit challenging walking the 2 blocks home from Home Depot with it!!! But we made it home & we are just hoping that we have enough lights for it :) Regardless, the girls love it & they picked out a little tree for their room too...hmm...we'll have to think about that one :)

Happy Thanksgiving

The girls brought their cousin Zoey a "fancy apron" too :) And the little chefs assisted Aunt Katina & Nana Marci in the kitchen with all the fancy Thanksgiving fixings. Watch out Martha Stewart!!!

Fancy Thanksgiving


In preparation for celebrating a "Fancy Thanksgiving" in Pittsburgh, the girls & I tried on our fancy aprons :) According to Gracie a "Fancy Thanksgiving" includes dressing up in fancy clothes & shoes while eating banana bread, pumpkin pie, chocolate chip cookies & macaroni & cheese. And maybe just a little bit of turkey too :) I think "Fancy Nancy" would be very impressed with us. What a fun & fancy Thanksgiving for us this year!!!

Fall Fashionista's



It barely made 40 degrees in Chicago today...brr!!! But the coldest day of the year was all about fashion :) Finally the girls were able to wear their winter coats & new hats too. They had so much fun that Gracie wants to get another hat to go with her coat...a girls needs options!!! And they both wanted lots of pictures in their new hats too.

Olivia


Today's book in ballet was one of our favorite books...Olivia!!! Josie dressed up in Olivia's signature color RED. She wore an adorable red dress with a curly pink piggy tail & piggy ears too. It was a very good day at ballet :) And she danced good too!!!

Enjoying The Fall Leaves!!!








Today we enjoyed a fun-filled family day at North Pond playing in the leaves. The girls had a good time running, jumping & of course throwing leaves at each other :) Then we found a HUGE pile of leaves which made running in them a little more difficult but laying in them much more fun. Fall is such a fun time of year!!!
