Family Photos

(4 posts this morning....this must be a record!!)

Not sure if I posted these yet.  Our sweet friend Jessica Ross took some pictures of us several weeks back.  So happy with them!  I think you will see why!  I look at these and think, "who are these big kids?"

Gingerbread Fun

***multiple postings this morning***

Aunt Bev came to visit last weekend.  The kids had a ball spending some quality time with her while Tommy and I got to sneak away to celebrate our 7 year anniversary and his birthday.  What a nice time for all!  One of the highlights was the decorating of gingerbread houses.  They did this last year and Jack has been asking when he would get to do it again.  Bev was one step ahead and even got two houses this year.  Caroline was pretty thrilled she would get to fully participate this year.

Santa!

Well, I would love to say that we ALL love Santa around here.  I will let the picture tell the story.

Love this.  Especially that Tommy had to be in the picture too!

November

So it is pretty obvious that I have been a slacker blogger.  Life has kept us pretty busy!  I'm just going to highlight in pictures.  Too much to really try to detail!

I love this sweet smile.  She is such a sweet hearted (but sassy) little girl.

Yes, Tommy was launching them into the leaves.  They loved it!

Halloween Highlights

What a fun Halloween.  The kids really enjoyed it this year.  We started off the evening with dinner with close friends who just happen to live across the street!  Then we headed out to start trick or treating. Both kids were a bit reluctant at first, but Caroline seemed to pick up on it faster.  She would take the candy she was handed and then help herself to more in the bowl.  It is ridiculous how much candy they accumulated in such a short amount of time!  Anyways, here are some photos!

Ready, set go!

Smiling with Mommy

We love the McFarlands!

so cute together

"so heavy mommy!"

She asked to have her picture taken with this.  She kept telling me "not scary, happy!"

worn out!  People would tell her how pretty she was and she would respond "I getting tired"

Checking out his loot

Last picture with the pumpkins

Pumpkin Patch

We recently visited the pumpkin patch.  How fun.  Caroline is much more into things this year and has about a million things to tell you about it.  The kids are at such fun ages.  Sometimes I would like to keep them these ages forever.  And then, they start fighting and screaming and tattling on each other....

Anyways, here are some highlights of the visit.

petting a bunny

Caroline is so brave.  She jumped right in for feeding the sheep.

Caroline wanted her picture with "llama llama"

Jack wouldn't touch the donkey, but Caroline would have probably gotten in there with it if she could.

Ready for the hayride.

In search of the perfect pumpkin.

Love this picture.  Tommy trying to scare the kids...haha

Caroline found hers.

Jack wanted a green one.

Here's what I get when I ask Tommy to take some pictures.

Caroline sulking.  So sassy!
