Beginning of December Things...

Nana came back and visited for a few more days. She even spent her birthday with us :) Avery's annual picture with her Santa--she wanted to hold the bear too :)Me too! Me too!

Time to decorate the tree!

Matt was home for a few days and got to see Avery's Christmas concert at her school. Here we are in the audience. Coop did not want his picture taken--obviously!

We need a new camera, as you can see from this picture. This was the best of the bunch. Avery did great and she had a lot of fun singing and playing the zylophone.

Cooper's Fall Festival--at home he was singing "Hello Mr. Turkey How Are You?", but in front of the audience he was very serious--no singing!Just a few weeks ago--the weather was pretty warm, so we went to feed the ducks.
Nana & Papa were here for Thanksgiving--and so was Matt!

Thanks for the beautiful flowers Mom & Dad!

I love my Publix Pilgrims!

Movie night! Watching Christmas Vacation :)

Happy Halloween!

We have had lots of Halloween celebrations this year! Last weekend at the zoo, then Saturday night at Cooper's school for a fall fest. Avery's friend Isabel came with us. Pouty pirate
Cutie pirate

We went trick or treating at Moosehaven--a retirement community across from the school.

They had all kinds of fun games and crafts when we got back--Cooper was most excited about pumpkin bowling!

Avery had fun making Isabel into a mummy with TP!

Avery's turn to be a mummy

Ewww!! Gross!! Eyeballs, guts, brains, etc.

And last night...trick or treating in our neighborhood with Isabel and her sisters, Sophie & Gabby. I've realized I really like FL Halloweens--beautiful weather and no coats under costumes!

Spooktacular at the Zoo

We (and hundreds of our friends!) went to the Spooktacular at the Zoo Saturday night. Avery wore her pirate costume, but Cooper didn't want to take off his Blue Angels t-shirt :)

Avery found some pirate friends!

Air Show

We picked up Grammy, Grampa and Grandma Palmer at the airport and headed straight to the airshow. We made it just in time to watch the Blue Angels--always amazing!
Cooper put his new shirt on right at the booth where I bought it--and hasn't taken it off since then!

Fat Albert!

So cool!
