It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas....

Growing up, I have fond memories of decorating the tree with my family while sipping on Egg Nog. I want Nicholas and Abbie to have memories like that, too. So, we all decorated the tree together this year. It was fun to tell them stories about each ornament as we placed it on the tree. Our ornaments range from hand made gifts, to store bought, to hand made by me when I was a child. Nicholas really enjoyed the ones with his name or picture the most! Abbie just liked holding the ornaments and taking them OFF the tree. I guess there is always next year....

Having Some Fun...

Abbie loves to dress up and be 'pretty', while Nicholas loves to be silly! It is never boring around here.

Roar! Stomp! Can you hear a T-rex coming?

Well, in our house we hear the sounds of a dinosaur every day. So, of course we had to have one for Halloween, too.

OOOH Went the Wind...and Out Went the Lights

and the five little pumkins rolled out of sight! Or maybe it was just one little pumpkin. But, I must say she did almost roll when her pumpkin full of candy was so full she could barely hold it. She would not let go it though.

Cheese! or Boo!

A trip to Target for family pictures...Nicholas had fun scaring the photographer by saying "Boo!" He laughed every time and we got some great pictures of him. Abbie was a little crabby...which is why she is often called Crabby Abbie. She did have some cute ones though!

Are those mittens or socks?

Abbie was having fun wearing socks for the first time this year...It was a little cooler up in Prescott!

Nicholas Fishing in Prescott

We visited Nana Pam and Uncle Larry last weekend with my parents. Nicholas enjoyed fishing with his Papa immensely!
