First Snow



We had our first big snow fall on Tuesday. We got about 7 inches out by us. The girls are really enjoying the snow this year. After a battle about getting all bundled up they had a good time. Brooke is getting good at the snow angel thing while Avery kept hitting her with snow balls.

Halloween











I think Halloween is celebrated like the their birthday. The event starts a week prior to the actual day. Brooke was so over taken with her mermaid costume she had to wear it 15 hrs a day( she did take it off the sleep but a few times wore her shoes to bed). Avery on the other hand wanted to be a ghost. They do not make "safe" ghost costumes for a toddler that looked cute. So I took on the task of making it. 2 days and a lot of hot glue and glitter (yes, my ghost has glitter) Avery decided "nope" I want to be a Mermaid..... I told Dave he was going to use the costume because of the work. I'm glad to say she wore it and needed some encouragement.
We went to Aunt Jodie's and Uncle Doug's for Trick or Treating. After that, it became a little block party with pizza and a bonfire. The girls really had a great time.
