Halloween 2011

Halloween is such a fun time for me. I love this Holiday because it kicks off all the fun festivities that bring the year to a close.  Although it almost seems like it is just the beginning of the year for me, maybe because school has just started.  Anyway we took Olivia out trick-or-treating with our/her friend's the Rideouts. I was surprised at how long she lasted, we went to about 15 homes and then she was done. I had to keep telling Liv to only take one treat, she would keep taking treats from the bowl until the people would tell her that was enough. Olivia loved being a little witch and Maddie was the cutest little midnight fairy!

Earlier in the week the girls went to their grandma Stewart's house to make fun Halloween treats and crafts. They LOVED it.

October 2011 Halloween Maze

In October we took the girls to the maze at wheeler farm. I loved every minute of it and I think the girls did too. There is something so special to me about the fall. I think because it is a time to cozy up with the ones you love. It makes me think more about home, family, and traditions. I hope this will be the start of a fun family tradition for our little family.
