It's Snowing!

We had our first snow fall today.

And it's still coming down out there.

Bowen will have to go back out and shovel the porch again.

Alaina's Happy Birthday

 Did you realize my little Alaina is now 12?  We celebrated with her a couple of ways this year.  Frozen yogurt with Grandma and Grandpa, some homemade caramel apples later, and yummy chocolate earthquake cake and 12 candles the next day.  Delicious.

Here she is with some of her loot.  Happy Birthday Alaina!  

We love you.

Hayride, Pumpkin Craving and Costume Catch-up

 Playing catch-up with some October pictures!  

 We had a local youth group over to our house for a hayride a couple days before Halloween.

It was chilly that night and we followed it up with a roaring fire in our newly finished fire pit.  And hot dogs.  And s'mores, of course.

We had fun carving pumpkins at the last minute.  The girls worked a long time on their detailed carvings.

We had many activities on Halloween night - a barn party,

some trick-or-treating,

 and some visiting of family.

 Fun times!
