Thanksgiving

I didn't get a lot of pictures from Thanksgiving, but we had an awesome time at Bobby and Carrie's beach house! It was relaxing, and fun that we tried buying a prepared meal this year! 

My favorite was getting up and running on Thanksgiving morning, then going to mass, followed by a stop at Starbucks:).  

Uncle Matt took some family pics:). 

Cousin table! 

Halloween week. . .

There are so many sweet moments that surround Halloween! The excitement of getting candy, thinking of costumes, etc.. And my favorite is the time spent out with the kids trick-or-treating! It's so sweet to see them so excited, and so fun to see other people out! Such a fun energy.  The part I do not like is the massive amount of candy they accumulate!! Way too much this year! But we did a fun exchange that they gave me the majority of their candy in exchange for going to Fultanos! 

Leo was trying to catch up! And he was super good at saying "Thank you" when he realized he would get candy! 

October

I always forget how much I love Octobers until it's October:). And this October did not disappoint!! It was probably the most beautiful fall I've had since living up here! The majority of the days were 70 and sunny!

CORN MAZE!! 

Grandma Reen and Papa Bill's

Grace especially loved her pumpkin!

BERNET FARMS with GRANDMA

The Leos:).  Pat had fun taking big Leo to the Waverly to golf.  

Off to school before I took my parents to the airport.

First weeks of school

I didn't get the more traditional first day of school pics, but wanted to at least have some pictures of the kids during their first weeks of school! 

Preschool! 

4th Grade!

1st Grade! 

Grace-3rd Grade      Leo-at home with Mom
The only time I can get Grace to do a real smile these days is when she's with her siblings:).  

And I had to include all three of these pics!

My siblings went off to school, and now I'm walking!! 

So sweet to see them biking each morning! 

Maureen's 80th Birthday celebration! Tapas at our house before the main dinner at Bobby and Carrie's.

Sister Saturday-fort time

Will wanted to join them! 

Then decided to make his own fort:).

Pat took Kate and Grace to the HS football games on a couple Friday nights, and Will stayed home.  It was sweet how Will and Annie hung out when the others were gone:).  

 

Funny picture of Annie:), but the sunset and view from our house was so pretty!!
