Halloween

Cute Savvy, and Aunt Robby, invited us to a Halloween party the day before and had lots of treats, games and even prizes for us!!! This girl has a future as a party planner:)

Maddy really just wanted to do her own thing, so she played the piano

Right before we went out into the freezing and soggy weather

Miss Maddy, trying to escape!

For our annual Halloween party, we went as tourists.....thanks Dan for the fanny pack:)

I bet your wondering who that sexy hunk with the yellow visor is.....yep, he's all mine.....

We started doing this party the year we all moved out of our town homes and I am so grateful we still get together and do it!!!

We officially made it through the hectic, expensive, fabulous and memorable October!!! As much fun as we had I am glad it's over and am looking forward to the holidays!!! It's been a little bit of a struggle not to put up my Christmas tree yet.........Matt would never let me, but maybe one of these days he will come home to a house ready for Christmas! I LOVE Christmas and have always wanted to get it going as soon as Halloween is over. I remember so many years that Kim and I would wake everyone up at 5 am.......we had to wait for our tired parents and (cranky) and tired brothers:) I love the whole day and everything leading up to it. The shopping, the baking, the service projects, the parties and especially the time spent with family!!! I am so excited for the girls to get bigger and better understand what a magical time of year it is and the significance that it holds, and not only the presents, but the day that we celebrate our Saviours birth!!!

Ok, so now I REALLY want to put my decorations up.......
