Catching Up

I can't believe it has been a whole month since I've posted. There are so many pictures and stories to share.....

Trick or Treat in our neighborhood was extra fun because we went with our good friends The Meredith's. Here are the kids before we left to collect candy. Kaia was a beautiful bride, and Hayden and Liam were candy loving ghosts!




It has been a LONG time since I've dressed up for Halloween. I just couldn't resist joining the feline theme as the Mommy Cat.



The St. Michael Christmas Fair is usually held the same day we celebrate Liliana's birthday, but this year we got to go and see Santa. Lili and Joe were not shy at all. Eve was a bit reserved, and Faith wouldn't go near him! Here's the best picture I could get. Faith is gripping Daddy for dear life!



Everyone played the Lolly Pop game, and all three little ones chose Elmo prizes. Not Lili. My big girl scored a lolly pop nearly as big as her head.


Liliana turned 6 years old this past month. She is still quite shy in big groups, so we had a very small family party with a beautiful pink Barbie cake that my Mom made.



The big hit of that party was her new bike!



With Lili being in a new school we decided it was very important to have a "kid party" and invite all her classmates. We chose Rumble Tumble in Portsmouth. It was awesome. Climbing, sliding, bouncing, swinging, pizza and cake. It doesn't get much better for a six year old.


We had 18 kids! Here they are getting the run down from the coordinator. Can you see who is on the trampoline behind them?



Here is the party room.



Lili and her best friend, Kaia.




Joe and Eve joined in with the big kids! (Faith kept playing!)



Loose teeth have become a frequent topic. Lili has lost two so far.



We've had fun with Meredith....






and her brother, Alex!


We played in the leaves....


and had a nice visit from Uncle Linden and Aunt Laura.


Yesterday we had our last "Jump 'n Gym" class of the year.




And of course, we've had lots of silliness....



....and Jim and I have more gray hairs than we did in October.


So that's what we've been doing? How about you?
