SNOW!

A few days ago, we spent days and days staring out the window waiting for the snow that was in the forecast. Chris and I were so excited to see the babies reactions to this unusual November treat! Finally on Tuesday night, it came!! Even though it was only a light dusting, it was enough to close the town and get us all in the Christmas spirit :) Poor Emma had a terrible cough, so she didn't get to go outside but Owen and Daddy had a great time for her! They spent forever outside using Owen's little sled, building a snowman and even had a snowball fight. Afterwards they came inside and had some yummy hot cocoa (Owen's new favorite treat) and we all took a nice nap. We hope there is more snow to come this year!

They kept peeking out the windows...waiting and waiting!

Owen's new sled... he loved it!



Sissy, trying it out too.

Such a big boy.

Carving Pumpkins

Creating traditions has been one of the most fun things to do as a Momma! So I couldn't wait for us all to gather around the table and sip some sparkling cider and carve our pumpkins. We didn't use any of those fancy carving kits... just our imaginations and a couple steak knifes :) Owen and Chris knew right away that they wanted SCARY pumpkins and Em and I wanted CUTE ones. Owen was thrilled that each person in the family had their very own punk to call their own. They both had such a great time giggling, chomping on candy and playing in the "guts". It's so exciting to think that next year they will be even more enthusiastic. It's days like these being a parent is soo rewarding. We couldn't love them more!

"Eeeww"

I think Chris had more fun than the babies :)

Taa Daa! Our finished projects.
