Thanksgiving

We celebrated with our friends, the Mordocks, from the other side of the state. Good food, perfect weather, and PLENTY of football all made for a great day.

It's especially nice since they make some killer mashed potatoes.

Addie and Jake became fast friends.

Megan and Audrey were friends . . .

most of the time.

On Friday they had time for a quick (and frigid) trip to the beach before they left.

We love our Thanksgiving tradition - can't wait until next year!

Are you kidding me?

Addie, "Mom, why is there a fountain on Olivia's head?"

Halloween

Addie - Scary witch

Olivia - Sweet ladybug
Megan? Not in a picture taking (or costume wearing) mood that night.

Our trick-or-treating friends

In case you're wondering . . .
Yes, Olivia is wearing sandals because it was probably 85 degrees that day.
Yes, her pants do clash terribly with her costume . . . but she's the third child.
Yes, Megan is wearing a church dress - a hand-me-down from Nicole, to be exact. Her princess costume was "too scratchy". Whatever makes her happy.

Pumpkin Carving

After school scavenger hunts

produced this.

They were pretty pleased with themselves.
