Halloween 2011

Emma dressed up as a "Sweet Little Fairy" for her 1st Halloween. Emma spent the majority of the evening sleeping but she was nice and alert when we carved pumpkins earlier that day. Ellie was a "Pink Princess" of course this was her idea!!! She really got into trick or treating this year. She ejoyed handing candy out to the kids and aksing for candy :)

Thomas Family BBQ @ The Farm

We attended our Annual Family BBQ at the farm. It was a windy but beautiful Fall day!! Emma enjoyed her time inside with Daddy watching the GA vs FLA game. Big Sissy had a big time outside riding a Princess scooter, running around with Cuzzie, playing with the Big girls, and using her charm on family members she hadn't seen in a while.Uncle Brandon helping E.K. on the scooter.

Costume Parade & Craft

Ellie had a Costume Parade at school. Emma and I went to cheer our "Little Princess" on.
From left to right - Princess Bella, Ballerina Autumn, Pink Princess Ellie, and Cowboy Saxton.



Not sure what Emma thought about all this during her nap time. She was serious the whole time but didn't make a peep. She did squeeze out a smile when Ellie's little boyfriend Tyler was talking to her : )
Ellie sat frozen with her praying hands still up well after the blessing was done. I think she was a little overwhelmed by all the treats scattered around for her to eat!!



Sitting next to Ellie is Bryson the Boxer and Parker the Zookeeper. Across from her is Tara the Kittycat and Tyler the Cheetah.





At home making a "Ghostly Ghost". Ellie loves to go through the pantry and pull out things that she needs! On this particular day she drug out Styrofoam cups. Instead of having a "put that back battle", I came up with a clever idea to make ghosts out of them!! I felt a little of my teacher craftiness coming back!!





Proud of her Ghost Family! Mommy Ghost, Daddy Ghost, Ellie Ghost, and Emma Lou Lou Ghost

Pumpkin Patch

We went to Scottsdale Farms to get our pumpkin this year. They had a cute little pumpkin patch, face painting, and a hayride. Our friends Ward, Jenn, and Caraline came with us. Ellie did not want her face painted nor did she want to go on the hayride. She did love ALL the pumpkins though!











Watching the hayride with Daddy.



It looked fun to me! Maybe next year.......



A "quick" photo w/ Mommy close by!

Goodbye pumpkins!

Storytime & Pumpkin Decorating

We went to Scottsdale Farms for storytime & pumpkin decorating. Scottsdale Farms is a Nursery by our house that also has a cafe and sells cute home decor!! I was excited when I found out they host special events for kids around the holidays. Ellie went dressed in her cow costume that Grandaddy & Liz got her. She was "mootiful"! Ellie enjoyed herself & Emma caught some "zzzzs" which made for a successful outing!








Finished product!

Ellie was a great listener during Storytime!








The "Bean" decided to wake up once we got home!
