Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving morning started with a family walk at the park.

 

 

 

We went out to Mamaw and Papaw's house for Thanksgiving.  The weather was beautiful and we were able to have a ton of fun outside in the leaves.

On Friday, we took the girls to the circus! 

And over the weekend, the girls were helpful with our leaves at home.

Halloween

My parents were in town with us for Halloween this year.  My dad picked up take-n-bake pizzas from Papa Murphy's.  The pumpkin pizza special! 

 

 

 Drew and I took the girls trick or treating while my parents passed out candy at our house.

 Keelin and Emmy were both pirates for Halloween.  Keelin was Izzy and Emmy was Captain Hook.

"rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr"

 The girls enjoyed dumping out their candy to see what they got!

 

 

Girls Scouts Halloween

 They made Frankenstein pudding cups.

 

Fun In Wisconsin

 

Other than running... we had some fun in Wisconsin.

The hotel in Door County had a ball pit that the girls loved. 
It also had a fun swimming area that the girls swam in each day.  (no pictures)

Emmy befriended my cousins, Elmo.  He was in my aunt's truck and she had some fun with him!

On the way home, we stopped in downtown Chicago to go to the American Girl store.  Keelin picked out the Doll of the Year, McKenna.  She is getting her for her birthday and Christmas from her great aunts and great grandma.

Fall 50 Finish Line!

Here we are waiting for Drew at the finish line!

The girls were SO EXCITED to run across the finish line with their daddy.  It was the highlight of Drew's race and very emotional for him.

 Check out that gold BLING!

and his race time.

The group together after the finish!  Everyone finished within a half hour of each other and everyone was walking and healthy.  It was time for some beer and pizza.

good food and good company
