Happy Thanksgiving!

We went to the Owsiaks for our third annual Thanksgiving weekend and had a blast, as usual!  We kicked off the day (literally) by playing some outdoor football with Daddy and Rachel's boyfriend, Chris.

 MnM's - the perfect way to end a Thanksgiving meal :-)

 I got to help Uncle Doug put up their Christmas tree - I've been looking forward to doing it again for the past 2 years!

 S'mores - sans graham crackers - before dinner.  An Uncle Doug specialty!

Fall

We did a lot of fun things this fall - two of my favorites were making our own scarecrow at a Harvest Festival and cleaning up the leaves in front of our house with Daddy, Koen, and our neighbor Jerardo.

Happy Halloween!

I designed our pumpkin face for Dad to carve - it's our best one yet!

 We went to our friends' house to trick-or-treat with the same crew 5 years running now.  It was a blast!

 All the kindergarten classes sang some songs together at our Halloween assembly.  To finish it off, we performed the "Thriller" dance along with the 1st grade.  We've been practicing it in music class with Mr. Feliciano since the beginning of the school year!

 After the assembly we paraded through the school halls.

 A couple weekends ago we went to a pumpkin patch/Halloween festival at a park with our friends Sam & Clara.  They had bouncy houses, face painting, and a petting zoo!

More pictures discovered!

We found a whole bunch of great pictures that Daddy took on his phone - some go back as far as mid-summer!  So take a look back and enjoy more fun from the past 6 months :-)
