Pictures of the kids

So, this year I decided to try and take our own pictures for our Christmas card and was pretty impressed with how they turned out. Remind you, they are not professional, but maybe if I practice LOTS I can one day get a really nice Nikon camera.

Here are the kids. As you will see we could NOT get a good picture of Mr. E. He would not look at me and did everything he possibly could to avoid me, he was so funny. Hollie, on the other hand, was my little model and I took FULL advantage of it. She was so cute!

Halloween Day

We had a great surprise show up on Halloween day and that was PAPA!! We love papa and were so excited to have him drive out for one of his 24 hour trips to be with us on Halloween.

We played outside, carved our pumpkin and had a fun evening trick or treating. Here are a few pictures from our Halloween Day.
Ethan enjoyed helping me carve the pumpkin :)
Hollie and her papa!
This may look bad, but I promise it's not. Ethan doesn't like to just be pushed in the swing he likes it to be a rollercoaster. He loves to be pushed high. Here Ryan is laying on the ground under him and when Ethan went up Ryan took his picture. Ethan was laughing so hard and kept saying more, more. Funny Kid.
Well, so much for buying the Gabriella costume. Hollie decided that she wanted to be Belle instead. She was a beautiful Belle, who did have a little attitude. What is a princess without attitude? Ethan was a lion, but wouldn't keep the costume on, so I didn't bother taking his picture since I already had one.
Hollie loved having her Papa here. She wanted to trick or treat with just him and he was the only one allowed to go up to the door with her. It was cute watching them walk down the street and enjoy their time together...she is definetly papa's girl!
