Traditional fondue dinner

Daddy & Cooper being silly!

Our first day in CT brought us a blizzard--we were very grateful to all be there safe and sound. Even Matt made it up from NYC ahead of the storm--thanks to Dad!
We had a great time (even without our bag which was delayed 4 days!) On to the next adventure...

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!
