Fall top 10

We have been so busy having fun that I have not had much time to blog about any of it so here I go. The following is a list of my top 10 things we have done this fall and have loved every second of it!

We went to our local balloon festival. This is one of our most favorite things to do as a family. We meet a bunch of friends bring food to snack on and then sit back and enjoy the beautiful balloons. I love that we have FINALLY lived somewhere long enough that we have traditions that the kids look forward to each year. We celebrated Morgan's birthday. She wanted a Halloween themed party so we all dressed up and decorated and made slime and all sorts of fun things. She had a blast and has worn her beautiful church dress she asked for to church every week since then!We visited our local cider mill. This day was filled with corn mazes, bouncy houses,hay rides, yummy food, and great friends. Not to mention the smell of fresh cider being made. YUMMY!!!!Charlie has started a Sunday tradition where he makes crepes for breakfast. They are so good and they make us look forward to each Sunday morning.

Fall is such a beautiful time of the year here we always try to snap a few pictures out in the leaves. We got a few good ones but they will most likely end up being our Christmas card so you will just have to wait until that comes.

We went to our ward trunk-r-treat. We worked on our trunk for awhile and we won an award for one of the best trunks. We used lots of dry ice and made bubbly blood and monster drool. The picture did not turn out that great but we had fun working on it with the kids.

Some of our good friends hosted and adult only Halloween party and it was a BLAST. Charlie and I went as Deb and Pedro if you could not tell from the picture. I was a bit sad that we only got one picture because the shoes finished off both of our outfits and you can't see them in the shot we got. Charlie had on black moon boots and I found a pair of silver LA Gear shoes. We were quite the couple. It was so fun to get away for a night with amazing friends and just be goofy. I hope it becomes a tradition!

Miss Morgan lost her 1st tooth. It had been loose for awhile and she finally got up the courage to let me yank it out. She was so excited for the tooth fairy to come and visit.Carving pumpkins is always a treat in our house. We let the kids draw out designs and then we get busy carving. Halloween was a favorite holiday growing up in my house an I have for sure passed it on in my own family.

Last but not least was the big night. We bundled up and headed out to a few houses to collect some loot. Sam was a frog, Ethan a BMX bike rider, Abby was Dorothy, and Morgan was a witch. My favorite part of the night was seeing little Sam toddle around holding his pumpkin bucket with a green glow stick around his neck. He was in his glory just wandering the streets and having people give him candy. It is one of those moments that make mothering worth it and a memory I am sure to keep forever!

Wow, it has been a great month or two. I love this time of year and my goal is to enjoy as many of these days while I can before dreaded January hits!
