We have a big Halloween party every year at our house with friends and family. It is always fun and chaotic with lots of little people running around. This year there were several princess, fairies, one beautiful flower, three lions, one cute zebra, and the sweetest little bee you have ever seen. We started the night with lots of ghoulish treats that gave us lots of energy to go out trick or treating. The older kids really got into trick or treating this year. Payton was on the hunt for suckers. Claire was quite perplexed why people were putting candy in her purse. After they filled up their buckets they headed back to the house for a dance party to help get rid of some of the sugar high. The night slowly came to an end and all that was left were one tired precious flower and one happy purple princess.
Isn't fall the most beautiful time of year? Our family definitely thinks so. One weekend this fall we spent several days with Nana at her house. It was a perfect weekend together. We spent a day in NC at Skytop Apple Orchard. The weather was beautiful and for me it was one of those days that I become overwhelmed with how blessed I am to have such a great family. The girls both enjoyed picking apples and eating them. I think Claire probably ate a few. Every time we turned around she had a new apple she was eating on. After picking apples we ate apple cider donuts and drank apple cider while the girls played in the little play houses. It was a great day. The next day Nana and daddy took Payton to the driving range at the club. I stayed back at the house with Claire, but knew how much fun they had by the smile on Jonathan's face when they got back to the house. Nana said he was a very proud daddy.
The pumpkin festival is always something we look forward to every year. It is always a great day. This year we went twice once with the Goforths and then again the next day with Daddy to enjoy more fun. The girls loved the backyard circus, the train ride, the corn maze, painting pumpkins, running around with friends, and seeing all the pumpkins. Payton loved to run around and try and find all the princess pumpkins. I love to watch Payton, Caroline and Abby play together. It is very entertaining and reminds me of how blessed we are to have such great friends. We love you guys so much!
