Our first winter in our new city!

What a wonderful day! We woke up this morning to find a foot of snow outside!! Connor was so excited! Rob took him sledding at a park nearby, then built a snowman in the back yard. Mom and I spent the day making Sunday dinner, then popcorn balls, and hot chocolate mix for Thanksgiving. It was nice to have the family all together for the day! Somehow the snow outside makes everything cozy and warm. I'm enjoying this feeling before it goes away (next week) and I'm ready for summer again!

 Delicious hot chocolate mix! (Which filled up my wok!!)

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!

    Halloween is one of my favorite holidays! I love ghosts, pumpkins, trick or treating and all the craziness that goes with it. This year I decided I'd like my boys to be sweet for once, so I bought Max a little Tootsie Roll costume and made a S'mores costume for Connor! Maybe it's because I'm biased, but I'm pretty certain I had the cutest kids in the neighborhood! We didn't take Connor trick or treating last year, so this was his first real Halloween experience. Friends of ours hosted a party, and we took all the kids t-o-t'ing and through some spooky buildings in search of the all-important candy! Connor had a blast! Now he's slowly enjoying his truck-load of candy (and so am I), while I'm sadly putting away our fun Halloween decorations. I'm already anticipating next year!!
