Sammy’s Holiday Celebration at School

It was so nice to attend Sam’s holiday celebration in his classroom. He was a bit too nervous to sing in front of all the parents but we were so proud of him for staying with the rest of his classmates through the whole performance!

It was also a great opportunity to see some of the work he’s been doing and found out he was the “Bee of the day”!

His teachers surprised all the kids with a gift too!

Happy Thanksgiving! (2024)

Thanksgiving is such a great holiday. Especially when life gets busy, it’s an excellent excuse to slow down and spend a day together as a family. Mac always likes that! 🙂

What’s the best part? Starting with the Macy’s Parade?

Or the amazing treats, like peanut butter pie, pumpkin decorated brownies, pumpkin bread, and cinnamon rolls? (Cinnamon rolls, not picture; consumed instantly.)

Or the big family dinner?

Hope everyone had a wonderful holiday!

Hockey Fans!

This weekend Gabby had some awesome fans come to support her! Their cheering must’ve been a boost because she scored her first (two) goals!

Since the games are so early, there’s ton of time for breakfast afterwards. 😂

Some bonus footage from warmups.

Happy Halloween (2024)

The pumpkin carving timelapse!

Gabby had a blast cleaning out her pumpkin.

Random Daddy smooches!

Sammy was a bit more delicate this year .. but he did a great job working with Mommy!

He drew his own face on the pumpkin and really liked how it turned out. 🙂

Trick or Treating was a two-neighborhood marathon, thanks to the stronger kid legs and wonderful weather!

Started in Fox Hill, rolling deep, with about five families. One of which were the Shannon’s, keeping the tradition going!

Rendezvoused with the Carolines!

Got stopped by the BPD!

Then picked up Eva!

And then started our jaunt down Fox Hill.

Got some spooky selfies!

And some not so spooky selfies ..

Chels and Gabs were having fun!

So we hopped over to Sparhawk to run the horseshoe with just the big kids.

Apple Picking 2024

Fun annual trip to Mack Farms for some U-pick apples!!

First stop, the farm market for some apple cider doughnuts to enjoy in our favorite spot.

Had to say “hello” to the sheep on the way out. Shaun named this one “chocolate” 🤷🏻‍♀️.

Let the picking begin! Lots of yummy apples this year!

Sam spent most of the time eating the apples ha!

Poor Gabby trying to eat an apple without front teeth.

Corn Maze time!

See ya next year!
