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...

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.

Fall Fun

We officially LOVE the fall!! The weather has been great and Aubrey seems to be more than enjoying herself! Daddy and Aubrey have spent a lot of time outside. The new favorite activity is anything leaves...
We painted and carved pumpkins last week. This proved to be a winner as well. Except for when Aubrey was yelling to not hurt her pumpkin!
We had a favorite of Aubrey's over one night for cookie making. We learned very quickly why Emily was a favorite, Aubrey did whatever and Emily could not for the life of her say no. :D
We have also been trying to do new not so ordinary things... like fireworks in October.
