Thanksgiving and a little Christmas!!!

We had much to be thankful for this year & spending time with family is at the top of that list! My parents cooked a wonderful lunch and fun was had by all!!!

My parents are not going to be here for Christmas so we had a little celebration yesterday as well.....

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas

Well, I don't know about you, but for our family Christmas begins right after Halloween. Christmas music is played in the car, movies are watched & our trees are up!! Now, we love Thanksgiving and are blessed each year to be able to be with family, but we also enjoy Christmas!! The kids just get so excited, you can't help but join in their excitement!!

Halloween has come & gone!

Well, Happy Belated Halloween! First, we painted pumpkins & baked cookies last Saturday & the kids loved it! Lilee is obsessed with rainbows so you will see a theme & Samuel...well he just likes paint!

Halloween came and it was a horrible day!! Storms, rain, winds up to 40mph....so, our friends (Lilee's BFF) and us decided that we would go to the mall....well us and about 3,000 other people, lets just say...after 6 MINIATURE tootsie rolls & 6 stores in what seemed to be an hour we decided that we would just go to Emma's grandparents house and trick or treat them....it ended up not raining for about 20 minutes so we let the kids go to a few houses and then it started raining again......BUT Lilee said it best "Mom, you took a bad day and made it great" So, I got the good mom of the year award yesterday!!!!

Pumpkin Patch

What a gorgeous time of year! I just love it! Today was so beautiful & we had time to go to the pumpkin patch, but first I took their picture with our burning bush...they are really starting to turn & they are my favorite in the fall!!!

The kids had a blast at the pumpkin patch & it doesn't cost us a penny...well the pumpkins do...but the playing & hay mazes are all free!!!
