Let it SNOW!

A week ago, we got a decent dusting of the white stuff and my kids could not have been more excited. It was brief and all melted the next day but for a while, it was really coming down with big fluffy snowflakes. Betty was skeptical and we stayed bundled in the garage, but Ella & Henry were out on the drive way playing! I know the winter is LONG, but with the holidays approaching and the excitement that it brings to a 3 and 5 year old... I say, let it snow, let it snow, let it snow! Look at this JOY!

Trick or Treat

The kids had a ball trick or treating this year. Between a Halloween playdate and trick or treating in our old neighborhood...Ella seemed so grown-up with her good manners at the door (and the chaos of running in between places) and then Henry ran the entire way with his arms out in front of him and his bag open and ready to receive candy at any moment. Betty was the cutest little owl just hanging out the whole time watching the madness. So cute.

Happy Birthday Henry

Our boy turned 3 just before Halloween and had the birthday of his dreams with an evening at Chuck E. Cheese and a dinosaur cake (that's all he said he wanted!) It was a really fun night that kicked off the weekend of craziness including a Halloween playdate and trick or treating. At his party, Henry had one bite of pizza and two helping of icing off the cake. He was in Heaven! Needless to say, he's ready for another birthday and talks about his next birthday every other day... still. I guess that means that he had a fantastic birthday!
