Halloween 2012

 We started off our day with our church playgroup.  We all got together as a large group to decorate pumpkins and eat goodies.  Our group has exploded over the past few years--now with over 30 kids--and more on the way!!!  We are super blessed for these friends!

 After a good long nap, the kids got geared up for our neighborhood hot dog gathering. 

 Once again, we are blessed with amazing neighborhood friends!

 And now for trick or treating!!!

 It was so. much. fun!!!

 While walking around the  neighborhood I asked Grayson if he was ready to go home and he said, "(sigh), I'm tired just thinking about it!" 

 The kids We all were worn out and happy to be home by the end of the night!!

Reformation Celebration!

 We had so much fun this year at our church's Reformation Celebration.  The kids were both at great ages to actually participate and enjoy it.  They were dressed as things God created--so we had a flower and a spider!

 Caroline had fun wrestling with Crimson after dinner.  They made a great match for each other.  Being the second child in both families, they are rough and tough!!

 And Grayson was smitten with this princess--chasing her around. At this point, I think they were both tired.

What a fun night with our church family!

Enjoying FALL

 The weather has been absolutely PERFECT.  And we have been SOAKING it up!
