Christmas Decorations

We also put up our Christmas decorations over the weekend. The girls love, love, love to turn on the Christmas lights. They already can't wait for Santa to come!

THANKSGIVING DAY!!!

We had such an amazing Thanksgiving Day with awesome food and family. We spent the day at my parent's new home. It was so much fun. We were so lucky to have Joe's brother Brett come and spend the Holiday with us. Our girls would just devour Brett from the moment he got up in the morning till it was time for bed. Brett, you are such a good sport and loving Uncle! We tried taking a family picture over the weekend for our Christmas cards, but I think we will have to try again. Ashley wasn't in the smiling spirit at the time.

Madison scored 4 soccer goals again!!!

Madison had her last soccer game today. Four must be her lucky number for soccer goals because thats what she scored last week too. After her soccer game we went to the park and had her soccer party. You should have seen Madison's face when her coach handed out the trophies. It was the first time Madison has ever gotten a trophy.

I'm Whitney!!!

Sheri if you are reading this you need to take this quiz too and let me know what girl you are from "The Hills".

I am Vanilla!!!

Feeling Sick

Ashley and I both woke up feeling sick with a head cold. I think Ashley has it the worst. She just lied on the couch all morning. Which actually was nice since I feel icky too!

Growing up too fast!!!!!

Usually my kids get up in the morning around 7:30 a.m. and want to eat breakfast right away. This past week I've noticed them getting up, using the bathroom and going back into their rooms to climb in bed and play. This morning 7:30 a.m. came around and I didn't hear anything from the girls' room. I got up to find Madison at the kitchen table already eating a bowl of cereal and drawing. Luckily everything she needed to get her bowl of cereal was at an easy reach. I went to find Ashley and she was laying in bed. I asked her if she was ready to get up and she says, "I was waiting for you to come get me!" Ashley usually gets up whenever Madison does since they share a room.
I thought it was too cute how they acted so grown up this morning and didn't need the help of their parents.

FOUR SOCCER GOALS TODAY!!!

Madison loves to play soccer. She had an amazing game today and scored four goals. Her season ends next week and she is really bummed.

HAPPY HALLOWEEN FROM THE ROYAL HOLBROOK FAMILY!!!

We had a total blast tonight Trick or Treating! The girls, of course chose to be princesses. As you can see from the picture, Ashley is Tinkerbell, and Madison is Princess Aurora from Sleeping Beauty. Joe and I completed the Royal Family as the King and Queen.

Soccer, Soccer, Soccer!!!!

Madison loves to play soccer! She has also made some amazing friends from her team. Each week Madison looks forward to practice and to the game. One week she scored five goals in one game. Now, she gets bummed out if she doesn't score a lot of goals. We keep reminding her that you don't have to score goals every time.

Disneyland Trip!

We had a total blast at Disneyland. We try to go as much as possible to take advantage of having an annual pass. Madison and Ashley love to visit all the Disney Princesses and get their autograph. It is too cute!!

I have finally started a blog!!!

Can you all believe it? I have actually started a blog. I love to read everyone else's blog so I finally stared my own. Since I don't love to scrapbook, I needed a way to journal my girls' activities so family and friends could keep in touch with whats going on in our world.
Madison will be turning 5 on December 15th and Ashley will be turning 3 on January 27th. I can't believe how old my baby girls are getting. And of course Joe turned the BIG 30 in July and I turn the big 30 December 17th.
We are doing great here in Santa Barbara. The girls stay very busy with preschool, soccer, ballet, playgroups, and just lots of fun activities.
I love being a mom and I still work one day a week doing hygiene. Just recently my husband opened up another dental office with my brothers. My sister-n-law Jen and I help run the business from home. Lately, that has kept me REALLY BUSY.
Like I said, Joe is doing well and keeps busy with both dental practices. We love it here in Santa Barbara and hope that if any of you are here in town or at Disneyland you look us up.
