Start of December

 The first weekend of December is always a fun one and this was no different!  We had a quiet Friday night and our Saturday plans got rained out so it was quiet relaxing to enjoy quiet time and Christmas movies and start some neighborhood fun!

We finally got around to getting our real tree which is always one of our favorite family days, and included Teddy finally enjoying seeing Santa...

We finished out the weekend with a Polar Express party and the lighting of our local town tree complete with a visit from Santa on the firetruck.

Thanksgiving & Holiday Weekend

Leading up to Thanksgiving, Tatum had a great Thanksgiving party at school, we did some festive reading and things at home and the boys both came to the little market to pickup our turkey and other things for our big meal.

Thanksgiving was low key and in the best way.  We had a nice morning, played outside with friends then took our time getting the food ready, eating a delicious meal, watching the Cowboys, relaxing and welcoming back our elf...

Friday morning we left for the shore to do all the festive things - it got us even more excited for the holiday season and while it was rainy when we got home so we couldn't get our tree, we still had the best time.

Halloween

We had a great time celebrating Halloween and the weekend leading up to it.  Tatum decided that he'd be Mario and Teddy would be Luigi.  We got an early start before getting caught in the rain to finish the night...

We started the morning with a small little toy and balloon for each boy, donuts, crafts and lunch with friends before meeting back up for dinner and trick or treating.

A few days before we went to Pumpkinland to get our pumpkins to carve then had a big family pumpkin carving party that night.

The weekend before we had a fun neighborhood event to dress up, trunk or treat, parade, do crafts, etc.  Tatum went as a power ranger and Teddys went as a god for a few minutes.

Fall Fun

We had a great time leading up to Halloween doing all the fall things.  We went to a local market for pumpkins, mums, cider and apple donuts... 

We got a bunch of wear out of the boys Halloween pajamas and many spooky movie nights together for them before bedtime.

We had a couple cookie making nights, decorating and an afternoon decorating haunted houses which was the boys favorite...
