Countdown to Christmas Calendar

Well, the month of December starts tomorrow and I've decided to get on board with this holiday traditon since it's a great way to have fun and connect with the family, especially the little ones.  Each day we'll open a envelope which will present something fun, cute, or thoughtful to do and I think the kids will enjoy it.  I hope to post pictures of what each day brings or each week, at least.

And More Cheese

This is what I missed

Fall.

"Cheese!"

Saying, "cheese" for the camera.

And FINALLY, Halloween!

Our Group

Of course I had technical difficulties with my cameras, yes both of them, for this special event, so I'll have to get the family group shot from Aunt Abbi at some point. Nevertheless, we had a great time with our group and all of their creative, fun, and unique costumes! It was pretty darn cold and I think we realized we weren't in Kansas, I mean, Florida, anymore. Hee hee. Yeah, it was so cold, that we had to cut it a bit shorter than we would have in Florida. There we were always much too hot, even sweating, in our costumes and here, not so much. That was okay though. We had a significantly lesser amount of candy and that, I think, is a good thing.

Our Chicken

Since Tate is no longer willing to assimilate or even be in the vicinity of the rest of us, she opted for a chicken costume. Don't ask, because I don't know, but what I do know is that she made one cute AND funny chick. In the midst of me trying to coordinate the rest of the family for Trick-or-Treating, Tate left to be with her group before I could snap any pictures. I had to get them in after a fun-filled night and here they are!

Halloween Parade at School

This was ADORABLE! Apparently the school does a little parade every year so the kids show off their cute costumes. I didn't get too many shots of Immy, but I caught Hadley at the right time, as you can see.
