Halloween 2011

This year we packed in the Halloween activities.  We baked and decorated sugar cookies,

Kelly and Karly baked a pumpkin cake.

Everyone carved a pumpkin

Thomas helped Noelle with her “guts”  and Grandpa helped Thomas carve his.

Karly gave up and decided to go read an upside down book.

Ollie and Salem got haircuts….

and the girls went Trick or Treating.  Thomas was with his Dad so I don’t have a picture of him in his costume.

Noelle and Karly were excited to have baby Brooklyn come and join them Trick or Treating.

 

Happy Halloween!!!!

Another Year… Another Trip to Apple Hill

Kelly and I love our annual trip to Apple Hill with the kids.  We have gone without fail for the past 10 years and always look forward it.  This year Kelly did some research before we left and we hit a few new orchards and we skipped a few of the ones that we always go to that are always packed.  As usual we had a fantastic time and the kids were great. 

The kids always enjoy a horse ride.

Karly and I took some pictures while the kids went on the horse ride.

Awh…. Thomas is Karly’s very favorite person.

Sweeet….

We enjoyed our annual picnic.

The kids got their faces painted for the very first time!

And then we got a fabulous treat…….

Fun at Countyside Farm

I was lucky enough to be able to go on Noelle’s preschool fieldtrip to Country Side Farms.  Last year Kelly went with her and Noelle was impressed one bit by the trip.  She stayed by Kelly’s side the entire time and didn’t want to participate in the activities.  This year she has really come out of her shell and although she is still very shy, she has loved going to preschool, has made lots of friends and is participating in the activities.  I was so proud of her!

She even answered a raised her hand to answer a question! YAY Noelle.  What a difference a year makes.  I’m such a proud Auntie.
