Thanksgiving

This was a fun Thanksgiving!

As a kid, there was always a group of runners that went past our house on Thanksgiving. Ours was the kind of family that laughed at how crazy those people were. And now, we have become them! Lisa, Natalie and I did the Turkeython 5k!

Here we are in action!

Probably the worst picture of me ever! Natalie looks awesome though!

 Then I promptly ate way too much and undid any good I did by running. But I did make this cute guy:

And I think it will be a tradition, because it is awesome! I am very proud of my turkey. And very glad Kelsey took a picture of it, because it was annihilated very soon after this was taken!


And since it wouldn't be Thanksgiving unless I said something I am thankful for (thanks for that Dad!) I will say, I am so grateful for all of my family, including my in-laws. I love all of them! And I am also thankful it's the last Thanksgiving without my parents here! They'll be back in March, and I'm so excited!

Halloween

For some reason, every year Katie ends up with more than one Halloween costume. I only buy her one, and plan on the one, but she always picks something else (we already have). So this year she decided to be a witch. She went to a couple things as a witch, but on actual Halloween she decided she wanted to be a cheerleader. We already had the outfit (thanks to Erica!) so whatever. Aimee picked her costume (skunk) months in advance and wore it like 5 times. They are so different! On to the pics!

Katie is making a goofy face in every pic. With cousins Jessica, Kristen and Emily.

Love that face

And the one pic of Katie as a witch, sans hat and broom. She looks like Elvira!

First Day of Kindergarten!

Katie started her fist day of Kindergarten on Sept 9th. Half the class went on the 8th, and half on the 9th to get the basic routine down before throwing 21 kids all together! The parents were invited for the first half hour of class. So I put Katie on the bus for her first ride ever, and then drove to school. She was the only kid on the bus that day! 

Waiting at the end of our street

Sister hug!

Ane was nice enough to get one of me in there!

She looks so tiny on the bus!

silly face!

She loves kindergarten, and I do too!

Annual Beach Trip

Every year I like to take the girls to the coast sometime during the summer. This year we didn't make it out until the week before school, but the weather was awesome and we had so much fun!

Katie drew lots of sand pictures

A very Aimee face

Goodbye beach!

We can't wait to do it again next year!
