Geneva Christmas Walk

We enjoyed the Geneva Christmas walk on Friday. We were all bundled up (some were a little obsessive with how warm they wanted to be). We walked and saw a parade, the large Christmas tree lighting, ice carvings, and a live nativity. The night was so much fun! Aubrey is at just the right age to take it all in.

She was memorized by the parade.

She had lots to talk about and expain to us anout the various things going on.

5,4,3,2,1...

The live manger scene was at a church across the street from ours. We however knew the owners of the farm animals and Aubrey took advantage of that...

We also spotted some pretty cute reindeer antlers that we HAD to try!

Thanksgiving Feast at Preschool

I just LOVE Aubrey's preschool! For Thanksgiving they had a feast of their own. Each child made a vest and strung a colorful noodle necklace. Miss Donna gave them Indian headbands and they sat together to enjoy a feast. I helped in prepping and serving food for the day. It was ABSOLUTELY ADORABLE! I am so thankful to enjoy these moments!!

Enjoy some pictures from our day!

Getting ready...

Miss Donna and one of her famous hats!

All the kiddos enjoying their meal.

Cousin Sarah's Party

We celebrated Sarah's 2nd Birthday before Thanksgiving. She is getting big TO quickly! Aubrey enjoyed the day with her cousins and of course the cake!!

The calmest my child has ever been while presents are being opened!

Cousin love!

I just had to put this in for all of you who love our crazy kid!!

She is ready for the beach!

We have had several leaf hunts at our house adnd we finally made some pictures to hang up.

The much awaited tricycle pictures for Aunt Bethany.

We tried to take pictures from several angles for you.

HaPpY HaLlOwEeN!!!

Aubrey had another costume this year that TOTALLY fit the essence of who she is!

She was a monkey! We practiced our monkey sounds and tried our costume on several times before the big day! We started with a parade and party at school and then moved on to trick-or-treating. She made us proud with a thank you at every door after receiving the goods!

Aubrey and her friend Katie. They are the best of friends! Miss Donna tells me that Katie has her mom show her a picture of Aubrey each night before bed and she has to tell her good night or sleep does not happen!

The parade! Aubrey was in love with Nemo since he walked in the door. He had a squeeker on the top of his head that Aubrey was a little obsessed with.

The back... just as cute as the front with her banana and tail.

Miss Donna and some of the class.

Our monkey getting ready for sharing her songs.

We had our happy faces and ...

our mad face as well.

We had our annual trick-or-treat at my brother's house.

Norah was a bride, Eli was Optumus Prime, Amelia was Ariel.

Sarah was a cat and Samantha was a turtle.

Aubrey ran to each door with her cousins.

She ran happily back after each time as well.

All of the kids.
