Homeschooling in NC

Since we moved last week we're finishing out the last few weeks homeschooling. The girls already received letters from their classmates & they've been busy writing back all week!

Beans 16 Months

Beans loves toons and playing with her big sisters and she's full of energy! I'm certain she's my most energetic baby. 

Arya's 1st Birthday

While looking over my blog I realized I never posted Beans first birthday party pictures from December 2015. I can't believe it.  It was a really sweet day and as always my beans was happy. We all love you very much & you're sisters are so very proud of you. You love playing with them and especially love your baby cartoons! Sometimes we have to turn off the TV to get your attention.

Arya

My sweet lovey is nearly 16 months old. Yesterday daddy cut her hair, Indian style, and today she had her ears peirced. She cried for about 5 seconds until they gave her a lollipop and she was totally over it :-) She got the sweetest little diamond studs.  Beans is the happiest baby I've ever.

NYE

We had fun at home in our PJs! We ordered pizza,  played games,  did a new years themed scavenger hunt, Sparklers,  and an early countdown & cupcakes with the girls.

Spring Princess Dance

Last night the girls got all dolled up for a dance with their girl scout troop. I did their hair & makeup (glitter eyeshadow) and dressed them up in darling little dresses. They danced for a solid 2 hours, got manicures, face paintings, and princess tattoos. Such a fun night they had with their friends. 

Easter

We woke up to the girls in our room saying they found Easter baskets downstairs.  After the girls opening their baskets, we had breakfast & got dressed up for church.  We came home & had an egg hunt in the house since it was freezing outside. While Daddy and I hid eggs Beans followed us around picking them up :-) Daddy made tandoori chicken on the grill & I made the rest real quick. After lunch we napped & hung out around the house. Fun day!

Spring Break

We took a short trip to Ocean City, MD to start our break. We played on the beach, went swimming at the resorts pool, and ate at a seafood buffet. The girls were funny at the buffet.  They tried oysters for the first time. Vaishali was into it and ate a bunch of them but Anjali had to be talked into trying them. She didn't like them at all but kept a ton of them for their shells & even had the waitress bag them up for her to take home ;-) Before we headed home we stopped at Assateague Island to see the wild ponies. It appears I was busy having fun & didn't take any photos.

Christmas

It's  NYE so I better get my Christmas post in before the year is over.  Last year christmas was awful, I was in the hospital with a uterine infection after giving birth to beans & so this year I just relaxed & enjoyed the holiday because it was easy to think things could be a lot worse, hey at least your not in the hospital! 
The girls woke us up of course ;-) we had breakfast of milk & apple pastries and then started to open gifts. I played Santa & handed out one at a time.  Jacobs big gift was really fun because he had been begging for a PS4 and we kept telling him he couldn't have it. So he was really sure he wasn't getting it.  It was fun when he opened it.
The girls both got a big unicorn that interacts with them & beans got a drum with lots of other instruments in it.  That was everybody's big gifts & then lots of other little gifts.  I kept out a few gifts to open later in the day.
Daddy made a turkey & stuffing & I made  sweet potato casserole, rolls, baked beans, and deserts we made on Christmas eve. Beans took a late nap after lunch and the girls played with their new toys all day. We went outside to take a walk & play for a bit since it was 70 degrees! And then back inside to unwrap a few more gifts.  It was a wonderful Christmas!

Christmas Eve

We had a lovely Christmas eve. We went to the church candlelight service, come home opened stockings, had dinner, baked deserts for christmas & decorated sugar cookies!
