FALL

Ok, so I haven't been too great about updating this blog. BUT, in my feeble defense, our computer screen is broken and it's very difficult to see the pictures. No longer an excuse, I am BACK and this is one of my new year's resolutions for 2009...

Halloween was a blast this year. Will loved trick or treating and when he was the last 2 year-old out around 9 p.m., I thought it was best that I take him home. His favorite part was ringing the doorbell and he proceeded to do it multiple times. He ended up being a fireman (his raincoat and rain boots) after his monkey costume was not so appealing and a little scary. After seeing last year's Halloween pictures (he was a monkey), he assumed he forever was a monkey. But I think he "gets" it now, that he can pick something new each year! :) His little "sissy" was a precious chick.

Thanksgiving was great this year. We went to Beaver Creek with Michael's family and had a great time. The kids did great and completely exceeded my expectations. We had never flown with them so we were a little wary of how to control them on a flight out West. Once out there, it snowed for 3 straight days. The place looked like a winter wonderland. Will finally "knows" what snow is after learning about it in school. We had a great time sledding, building snowmen, and having snowball fights. Our Thanksgiving dinner was delicious too, thanks to Jorge putting the oven on the "convection" setting. What fun memories! Will is ready to ski so hopefully we will hit the slopes next time!

Here are some pictures from fall festivals, birthday parties, Halloween, Thanksgiving, etc. Enjoy and sorry for keeping you on bated breath for so long... :)
