The Cousins Come to Visit!

Before Thanksgiving my sister's amazing kids came to visit for a week and we had so much fun with them!

We did a ton of playing,


shopped for Christmas and birthday presents,


watched movies,


went to Knott's Berry Farm,





And just had a great time being together.







We can't wait for the next visit!!

Halloween!

With Halloween being so long ago, I wasn't even going to post these pictures but I really want this to be a scrapbook for my girls. We did some fun things this fall and I want for there to be some memories for them so here goes...

We had a halloween party with friends:


A relay race: roll the pumpkin, balance the pumpkin, dig through the brains and wrap the mummy







The hair I've always wanted...


Of course, a toilet paper fight after wards :)



Pin the stem on the pumpkin,


Bobbing for apples,





Roll-a-pumpkin


Then in October we also had Brian's birthday:



36 years old!!


Avi decided one day to make Halloween Soup. She wrote down her recipe, we went shopping at the farmers market and she made the whole thing. It was actually really good!!


The chef chopping onions :)








The taster


We carved pumpkins,





Made halloween french toast,




And of course went trick-or-treating! This was Nixon's first time!





We also did the Harvest Festival.
