October ended and the holidays are HERE!

So these pics are completely out of order, but I will just leave them this time...

Since the last post, Adam finished football season!, and Ella has been busy, busy with a variety of activities including a Halloween parade at her school (seen in the last pic) and the one above is from Trick-or-Treating (with buddies Mia and Desi)! 

We had a wonderful Thanksgiving break!  Filled with lots of food, family and preparations for the upcoming holidays...we got our Christmas tree - and Ella REALLY enjoyed picking it out this year!

 Around the house, we get into the face paint (above) and Ella and I carved our pumpkin.

 We also had a fluke snow storm, which left my flowers wondering what was happening!

 Here, Ella and I tie dyed a shirt!

And of course, Ella loved putting decorations and ornaments on the tree!!

 

 I hope not to be as behind from now on with posting...our computer was a little out of whack with the crazy October snow storm, which actually left us without power!  But all is going great for us...we are super busy getting ready for the Christmas musical at church (where Ella will be playing the part of Mary!), and of course the rest of the holiday season!
