Meg with Mary Poppins.
Hannah with her namesake (Mary Poppins).
Meg and Grandma on Dumbo. One of our two favorite rides at Magic Kingdom.
Hannah and Daddy on the Dumbo ride.
This is the splash park at Sea World. We went back to SW many times during the week. Turns out that when you buy a ticket to SW you can use that same ticket for the next 14 days. They had a ton of cute shows, many rides for our children and we were able to just stay on rides because it was so empty!
Our first of many rides on the carousel. I mean many, many rides!
My new skinny mom playing in the pool with Han and Meg.
Enjoying the Kiddie pool at the resort in FL. They could have spent all day every day there!
While Grandma Linda and Grandpa Bob were here for Thanksgiving, they brought with them a tradition that Charlie used to do as a kid with his mom. It's basically a sugar cookie that you paint with egg while and food coloring. They didn't taste the best but there sure were pretty and fun to decorate!
Meg LOVED decorating the tree this year. She loves to do special activities. She was very careful and wanted to know the story behind each one that she carefully placed on the tree.
Kate on the other hand enjoyed decorating the tree but didn't prove to be so careful. We lost four ornaments this year to her decorating....there's always next year.
Here is my beautiful Hannah decorating the tree. Oh so careful and intentional about where she places her treasures.
This is Kate and this is Lucy. They have a "love/hate" relationship. Kate loves Lucy and Lucy hates Kate. Clearly here Kate is antagonizing Lu. If I showed you the whole series of pics that I took you would see that soon Kate gets bit.
The girls were in their very first concert. It was a Thanksgiving program with their preschool. They did great and here is a family pic we captured afterwards. Did I mention it was nap time?
An abnormally warm day in November blessed us with an opportunity to take some family pics. Thanks to our friend Beth, who captured these and the pics on our Christmas card!
We had an awesome time trick or treating this year. It was freezing and windy but we still had a blast. Kate is an elephant, Hannah a monkey, and Meg a cowgirl on a horse.
I was gone on Kate's birthday at a ladies retreat for church. So this year she got to celebrate twice. This pic is a few days after her birthday.

Carving pumpkins with daddy on the deck. Everyone got into it this year. I didn't even ask them to pose for this pic. Isn't it precious?
Kate blowing out the candles of a cupcake that the girls made with Grandma Peggy on her actual birthday!

Remember that fall is my favorite time of year. I think my excitement is contagious. The girls loved it too this year. We raked up the neighbors leaves (note: not because we are great people but because ours hadn't fallen yet and we wanted some to jump in).
