November catch up

What a busy time of year! Time for travel. Time for family. Time for football. And time for snow!

Kanaan is getting to be such a big boy!

With a fireplace comes firewood! And lots of it.

Happy Thanksgiving! We had the Boothman side of the family over and loved every crazy minute of it. Here our table is set, a fire in the fireplace & the parade on TV....soon to be followed by the Detroit Lions game :)

Our first heavy snowfall!

Yay for snow!

We also visited Paw Paw & Mimi in KY. Here the kids are on top of a horse in the Hilton Hotel (I think).

Kurly Keira :) I hope her hair stays like this!

Mohawk Man Kanaan

Love you all! May this time of year we all remember the real reason for the season and not get caught up in the hustle and bustle. Jesus Christ was born and his destiny set before him to save the world.....although if you ask Keira she'll say it's Santa's birthday! Guess we need to work on that !

Cruisin'

This past weekend we visited Grandma & Grandpa up in MI and we had a GREAT & exhausting time. Trick-or-treating with cousin Annika & Ainsley, visiting GGrandma & GGrandpa Good, and my favorite: watching the two oldest girls create some fun memories. Cruisin' in there motorized cars. The pix tell the story...

I just wonder what they talked about...but it looked like they had a BALL!! Thanks for the memories Annika! We love you and miss you already!

Apple Picking, Halloween Fun

Growing so big every year. Still amazes me how much they look alike!

Let's carve some punkins!

Pocahontas & Superman

Trick-or-treating in MI/OH with Boothman Family

Riding in style

Pumpkin Patch

Last week we traveled to Campbell's Pumpkin Patch. It was a beautiful fall day, a little windy, but we had a fun time.

Corn Maze - Which way Keira? That way?

Kanaan says go "up."

We spent a good 20 min. in the maze, which can be a long time for little ones. Kanaan however didn't want to leave. Hence the lip pout.

We ended up taking a detour out of the maze. Thanks for the help sissy!

Peek-a-boo tree!

Maybe we can climb this one

They also had some goats. My kids PET a goat!! Never would Keira have done this on her own or first, but brave little brother broke the ice.

Kanaan was SO fascinated with this goat. He just didn't want to leave. Here he is waiving 'bye-bye'

We were going to attempt a hayride/wagon ride but there were several school groups who received priority.

Deliberate 'eye's closed' picture! On my part at least :D

Wagon ride, eating apples and picking up pumpkins

Pumpkin bounce house

Apple eating

Yum :)

Overall a fun and tiring couple hours. We were all ready for some lunch and a nap after this. But fall has arrived!! Happy Fall!

More Birthday pix

I wanted to include some more fun pix of the birthday event....

We decorated the front of the house too, but I really want to show off our NEW windows! We just did the windows in the front this year. I LOVE them!

Birthday girl in all her birthday girl glamour :)

Fun with princess mats

Dress up fun!

Keira close up!

The microphone was a big hit

Cute shirt from Aunt Chell

Princess Rings!

Princess Recorder!

Princess silliness :)

Gotta love that little girl! She had so much fun and still talks about 'the party she had with all her friends.' I'm thinking next year we may do more of a destination birthday to like Chuck-E-Cheese or I hear Charming Charlie's puts on a good show too. But for now we will savor our little four year old princess diva.
