Gahanna Holiday Lights Parade

We braved the cold tonight to watch the Gahanna lights parade. The girls we so excited to see the marching bands! I am pretty sure Natalie said "march" (what marching bands do) 1000 times:)

Before the parade started Natalie went up to everyone around us to say "hi"! She is so outgoing!!!

Thanksgiving

We celebrated Thanksgiving again this year at Nick and Mandy's. It worked out so perfect... We got there early and got all the kids down for a nap before everyone else showed up. Then we were able to eat our feast kid free! Once they all got up they had great fun getting to spend time together! It is so fun to watch these kids grow up together! Next year Natalie and Colby will be able to join in the big kid fun! #lotstobethankfulfor

1st snow of the season :)

Samantha was so excited about the snow today. We told her last night that it was supposed to snow today. When I went in to wake her up this morning she was already up, she said she woke up early to see the snow. I promised her this morning that we could go out and play in the snow tonight. So after dinner we bundled up and headed out.





Daddy and the girls made a snowman. Complete with Oreo's for eyes!




Samantha shoveled a path in the snow so her sister wouldn't have to walk in the snow. They are so sweet together!

Thanksgiving Feast @ Stoneybrook

Jeff and Mawmaw were able to go see Samantha this year at her Thanksgiving feast. She was so excited they came to see her all dressed up as an Indian!

Rocking a side pony!

Trick or Treat

We borrowed clothes from Nick and Mandy to dress Natalie up as her daddy and Samantha chose Merida from Brave. (I bought them both bumblebee costumes to wear, o-we'll)


Before trick or treat we had a neighborhood chili dinner! Great looking group of kids!


Nick and Mandy brought the boys over to go with us trick or treating!


I stayed home to pass out candy!

Chase's 4th Birthday Party

Samantha's first swimming lesson.

Stoneybrook Halloween Parade

At school this week Samantha got to dress up and participate in a Halloween parade! Thanks Aunt Mandy for taking pictures and letting Jeff and I live the experiences right along with our kids even though we can't always be there in person.

Disney Jr. Live (Sophia and Jake)

Mandy and I took the big kids to see Disney Junior Live. It was absolutely awesome to see the kids totally amazed seeing their favorite tv characters come to life. Samantha sang at the top of her little lungs the entire show. We all had a blast and will go again when they come back to town!

Boo @ the Zoo

Jim and Lib rounded up all the kids and grand kids and took us to the zoo. It was pretty cold but we bundled up and had a blast!

Pigeon Roost

For the past few years we have taken the kids to Circle S farm form some fall fun. This year we decided to go to Pigeon Roost instead and it was a huge hit. There were a ton of activities for the kids to explore. I personally missed the wagon ride out into the pumpkin patch but the kids didn't seem to miss it at all.
