Thanksgiving Feast - Annabelle's Class

Annabelle's class had a Thanksgiving feast!! The kids sang a cute turkey song, made decorations, and the parents made a feast. (Scott roasted an a.m.a.z.i.n.g. turkey!) 

The class about ready to perform...

Annabelle & Catherine (who's mom is Anna - I couldn't make that up!))

Annabelle's 5th Birthday Party - Denver Puppet Theater

Annabelle had a fabulous birthday party at the Denver Puppet Theater!!!

The silly, silly, silly birthday girl...

The party guests jumping up & down! 

From left to right: Ian, Caitlin, Hannah, Annabelle, Leah, Madelyn, Kenzy, Alex

After the puppet show, everyone got to make there own puppet! They all loved the project! I was shocked how long each and every one of these kids worked on their puppets! 

Artistic Ian

And Mady was cracking everyone up...she was so excited she got to use scissors!!!

A great time was had by all! Happy Birthday Annabelle! I can't believe you are FIVE. 

Birthday Shopping with Grandma Suzie

Every year Grandma Suzie takes Annabelle to do something special for her birthday. This year that turned out to be an extra special shopping trip (so mommy invited herself along to take some pictures!) My indoor pictures didn't turn out very exciting, but here are the shopping girls!!! 

Mady is already talking about how on her birthday "grandma take only me!" 

Cupcakes for Annabelle's Birthday

Love these shots! 

We celebrated Annabelle's birthday with her class! I failed to bring a candle, so a straw had to be a silly substitute! 

Star of the Week

Annabelle presented her poster to the class this week. I wish parents were invited to come watch the presentation, but the idea is for the students to get comfortable presenting in front of their peers. After the presentation, Annabelle got to pick 3 friends to ask her a question about her presentation. When we were putting together the poster, she specifically selected a picture of her at the Rockies game just so the boys would have something to ask her about, but then she didn't end up picking a boy for a question! HA.

Madelyn's Class trip to the Museum of Nature and Science

Daddy went with Mady's class...they all had fun exploring the planetarium. 

Hula Hoop

I loved these shots so much they deserved their own post! 

This girl knows how to have a good time!!! 

Annabelle's Class Potluck

Annabelle's classroom mom hosted a nothing short of amazing potluck in her beautiful backyard, on what turned out to be a gorgeous fall Sunday. We had wood fired pizza, and a million yummy side dishes provided by all the families...YUMMY. 

Here are a few shots from the afternoon...it is fun to take pictures of all of these kids playing!!

Hugs for their teacher!

Avery's 5th Birthday Party!!

And it begins...our babies are now turning FIVE. 

Avery had a fabulous birthday party at a gymnastics place. Both of the Iten girls thoroughly enjoyed it... first playing with the parachute, then a couple circuits using all the gym equipment. And then Cassie's amazing chocolate cake!! YUM. What's not to enjoy?

Warm up stretches

Love these shots of the birthday boy!

The tongue hanging out is apparently in the Turbow genetics

Madelyn loves to hang, so the rings were right up her alley!

Little Miss Independent

Picture credit on this one goes to Cassie (stolen straight from her blog)

Madelyn can hang for a ridiculously long time!! 

Miss Hannah

Avery was slightly annoyed that I told him to wait to blow out his candle until I got a picture! Cassie's arm was across my shot during all the singing!!!

Happy Birthday to you Avery!! And many, many more!
