Halloween and Thanksgiving

So I am about three months behind in posts. Needless to say it has been a busy Fall and Holiday season. Maybe this year I can be more timely in our posts...we'll see. We had a wonderful surprise visit from Uncle Zack in October and he joined us at the Pumpkin patch. The kids had a great time, and I think Uncle Zack did too. 

Sam the jelly fish. Currently his favorite animal

Uncle Zack getting in some Isla snuggle time. He was a natural!

Zack's sidekick, Tinkerbell AKA Tink. Sam was obsessed with her.
They were best buddies and she was a very tolerating pup. 

Vincent, Violet, Sam and Isla at the pumpkin patch

Saddest Isla ever. Not loving the pumpkins. 

But tolerating it, kind of.

Sam on the other hand was in heaven. Corn mazes, giant jumpies and
animals to feed, what little kid wouldn't be!

Jump, jump, jump!!

Awww, Uncle Zack.

Sam is a magnet to tractors

Halloween night, so excited!!

Isla too!

It's a chicken! Isla was a huge hit and there were feathers all down the street.

And Mr. Jelly fish

Mmmm, Milk Duds. If only we had let her eat them, but the box is tasty.

Sam crunched down 3 Dum-dum suckers before I realized what was happening. 

Her Chicken costume turned out so cute that I had to try my hand at making her a parrot for our dear friend, Presliegh's 3rd birthday party of Princess's and Pirates. Sam was the Pirate and Isla was his parrot. 

Thanksgiving! Turkey trotting it up, it was a beautiful morning.

Thanksgiving was a pretty quiet holiday. We had a nice evening dinner after we took a post-turkey trot nap. And on Friday we joined, Debbie, Lance, Ian and Eric and their family and friends for more yummy turkey and fixings. That weekend we put up our tree and got the housed decorated and was busy getting into the holiday spirit. 

Quinn, Isla, Verna and of course Odelia had to join us.

Isla decided she was done with the stroller and need to get some walking in.

Pre-trot craziness. So many people and a very active baby,
not wanting to sit in a stroller quiet yet.
