Kick-Off Party!

Did you think I meant football?  I'm talking about Fall.  One of my favorite times of year.  The cooler temperatures, the warmer food, the decorating, the decreasing amount of yardwork... One big kick off party to the real prize, Christmas season!  I really should be working on my many Christmas projects since I always have a goal of being 100% ready for Christmas by Thanksgiving, (a goal I typically reach by the way) but I have so many cute pictures to show off I just had to blog instead!

We are having a great Fall!  Starting off with ANOTHER weekend in McCall.  This times we took the kiddos and met some cousins and grandparents up there as well.  It was wonderful!

Yes, this is going to be a picture intensive post!  The week after our trip to McCall, we headed down to my mom's house when the girls had a couple days off from school.  As always, we had a great time.  The girls love helping my mom in the kitchen, and we had some seriously yummy food!

We also had a great FHE with our good friends, the Dunns, at the pumpkin patch.  It is tradition to go with them, and it gets more fun every year.  Only hitch this year was Jen and I couldn't get on the hayride in time since we were chasing our babies around.  So there we stood in the dirt watching as our families rode off into the sunset, literally.  Neither of us had any money, so we couldn't even sit down and enjoy some hot cider.  I was just relieved that Todd made it in time since the girls got on there really quick.  There is NO way my anxiety could have handled that!

Yes, Todd and I are now the proud owners of a parent leash.  Ty loved it and it was much easier than trying to maneuver a stroller around the pumpkin patch all night.  Definitely will be using it alot in the future. 

And aren't you just dieing over how cute my girls are dressed?  :)
