Thank you Dona

Every year, without fail, a dear friend sends Christmas goodies for my kids.  The large envelopes, one for each of them, arrive in late November.  Attached are strick instructions:  DO NOT OPEN UNTIL DEC 1.  Thus begins the countdown to the countdown, if you will.

Once opened, their excitement is confirmed.

Each day a treat, today is Dec 1.  Which means, once you find it, you get to open door #1.

Then, the delectable job of consumption:

What a nice treat and special tradition.

Where is the newest member you ask?  Well, she isn’t as familiar with this Dec 1 tradition yet.

After dinner, when it was time to open… this is how we found her:

But I’m sure tomorrow, she will be briefed on this tradition and catch on quick as a wink!

Halloween ‘08

Butterfly, Pokeman Card and a Ladybug

They had such a great time.  And little Ladybug, for her very 1st Halloween, was so brave, had so much fun and was amazed by all the candy (she has quite the sweet tooth like her Mama!).  All was fine until that mist machine a few blocks over hit her square in the face!  She was carried everywhere after that, allowing herself to be put down only to collect candy and then turn and be picked up again.  She’s a trooper though!

She passed out @ bedtime:

 

We rolled her into the house while the other kids did their counting (didn’t you count as a kid too?):

We attended the Fall Festival at our local farm. 

We went on a hayride:

   

We roasted marshmellows:

 

And then there was the famous Pumkin Roll (see the serious faces at the top of the hill):

 

Fun was had by all:

   

And sorry folks, this next one is too precious to make any smaller!
