To celebrate Charlotte's 10th birthday, 

here's a decade of her
 in all her birthday cuteness.

And her cakes.

Love you Charlotte!

Lego Kidsfest

This weekend we went to the Lego Kidsfest in Pittsburgh and had SO MUCH FUN!  If you have a Lego lover at home then this is the place for you - it was wall to wall displays and creator tables and life-size figures.  I took about 100 pictures and these are just the highlights...

Birthday Girl

 We celebrated Sydney's 8th birthday last weekend and I thought I'd share a little collection of Sydney pics through the years...

Sydney Claire was born November 4, 2004 at 2:30am.

Look at those Hubbard ears!  Luckily she grew into them.

Our little bubble gnome.

How about this getup at 2?  Look closely and take it all in, from the bandaid on the forehead to the tutu AND butterfly wings.  And of course we have the trusty elephant who she STILL sleeps with to this day.

Just pure cuteness.

So pretty.

Kindergarten.

Yes, she is surfing in the pool, she's just that good (at 5 years old).

Sweet 6.

Speaking of good, check out her climbing skills at 7.

All the way to the top.

Love this kid!

Autumnal activities

 

We went to the Renaissance Festival and loved all the great shops and food.  

Oh and there might have been a few people dressed in period clothing or something.

 

We had an interesting Halloween this year since Hurricane Sandy cancelled trick-or-treat for us.  

Luckily we had done the trunk-or-treat at the church, though it was still in the gym - I have yet to attend one that is actually held outside with decorated trunks.

And Charlotte won first prize in the costume contest at the local fire hall with her light-up robot.  

Yay for homemade costumes!

Pretty pictures

Here are a few pictures I took of the girls one day when they were being particularly cute... at least until I put the camera away, and then everything went to pot. 

Just kidding, sort of.
