Halloween and Thanksgiving

 Happy Halloween!  It was a bit cold while trick or treating but they did great.  Ashleigh is cleopatra, Connor is a frog, Andrew is a fire chief, Kamren is an army soldier, and Brynn is a cowgirl.
 Andrew and Connor got to trick or treat at a rest home.  Andrew wanted to make sure he got to pick his candy.  Connor didn't care.  He just wanted the lollipops.
 They all had fun carving the pumpkins.  I loved the roasted pumpkin seeds after they carved the pumpkins.
 Ashleigh was so sweet to take Connor trick or treating at the mall.  She loves being a helper.
 Andrew thought it would be more fun to paint  the pumpkin.
 The day after Thanksgiving, we have our tradition of making gingerbread houses with our neighbors.  It was so much fun!
 Kam enjoys eating the candy the most.
 Andrew didn't even want us to help him.  He did the whole thing by himself!
 Now Brynn is happy about everything.  She is so proud of what she did.
 The trampoline has been duct tapes a million times and it keeps on working. Connor loves getting his energy out by jumping.
 I love these boys.  I love the orange and blue.  The kids can't wait to wrestle with their dad after a long day at church.
 Here they are all ready to carve pumpkins!
 The girsl were so excited to dress their dolls for Sunday.  They even love having their dolls match them!
 Connor is loving his time at the table. He especially loves to make messes and lots of noise.
 We got to go to a Holiday parade with the girls best friends.  What a gorgeous and warm day!
 Happy Thanksgiving!! We loved spending time with our friends, getting Christmas lights up and the boys had fun at the Turkey Bowl.
 The Thanksgiving dinner was so yummy!!!
 Having fun stuffing all of the Christmas letters to send out.
 We decided this year to give all of our neighbors some poinsettas.  We sang Christmas carols to them too.  Ashleigh and Kamren are quite the singers.
We love our tradition with Luke and Ethan.
The first Monday before Thanksgiving we fill the boxes with a Thanksgiving meal for the poor. This year we did 600 of them.
Having fun in the Fall leaves.  This was taken while we were on our Sunday walk.  I can't believe they were all looking at the camera.  We've had a very sunny Fall.
 On  Black Friday we shopped together as a family (yes it was a bit crazy) but we bought this new fire pit.  The kids love it!  Now we're ready for smores, hot dogs, and foil dinners:)
