Let's Go STARS!!

The Friday after Thanksgiving we were able to go to a hockey game.  We had a blast!

Oh Christmas Tree, Oh Christmas Tree!

When we had Harper in 2010, Matt and I made a BIG decision. At Christmas time, we vowed to only buy real trees.  We love the smell and the "realness" of them.

This year, we decided to go pick it out at The Elgin Christmas Tree Farm.  We had so much fun!! Definitely a yearly family tradition has begun!

Harper wants that one

Mattie had to cut it down! 

Our tree!

The "shaker" shakes off all the yuckies off

They even had a playground

Dia de los Muertos

We went to a celebration/parade at Central Market.  There was music, dancing, and skeletons.  What more can a two-year old ask for??

Brobee came along for to dance

She was really trying to mimic the dancers





This is Halloween!

My sweet Bumblebee had a blast on Halloween! She only went to a few houses before we turned around and went back to Brigid and Eddy's house.

Love that smile!

Cheesing it up!

Harper thought the houses in Tia's neighborhood were too scary

Too scared!

Happily people watching at Tia and Tio's house.

painting pumpkins

Daddy brought some art supplies home to paint pumpkins. 

We made some messy pumpkins, but it was a lot fun!

Our artist, with the same intense facial expressions as daddy!

Do you see the cows in the background?  I really do love living out here!

Sweet Berry Farm

We had a great time this past Saturday at the Pumpkin Patch.  Harper loved the pumpkins, flowers, silly face cut outs, and spending time with Bennet and Ruby Palafox!! Lots of fun was had by all!

She had to take a picture with each cut out picture. Silly girl!

Harper actually liked being in her stroller!  She just needed a friend to hang with.

LOVE Ruby's facial!!

Silly girls!
