Happy Thanksgiving

Happy Thanksgiving to all!! The Williams family had a great Thanksgiving feast at Aunt Jessica and Uncle Chad's house. I tried desperately to get a nice family photo like last year's:

They were good sports, but Charlie had had enough by the time we took this picture.

The kids really enjoyed their dinner. My cornbread pudding was a hit.

Next we went to Grandpa's house for some dessert. The kids loved playing on his computer, and Charlie loved running around in circles. (He did not, however, like the apple pie that Grandpa fed him. He tried to slide it under the door!)

Before bed, Taylor said she was thankful for girl time with mommy and thankful that Grandma was not in heaven so she could see her a lot.

Thanksgiving continued

Taylor had a Thanksgiving feast at preschool today. Her class was the Native Americans.

Cousin Grace was there, too. She was a pilgrim.

Taylor's Indian name is Bright Moon.

Happy Thanksgiving

The kids had a Thanksgiving Feast with the MOMS club yesterday.

Taylor worked really hard on her Indian headband.

Both kids have made friends with children in the group. It's adorable.

Am I a lucky mom or what?

This picture was one out of about 25 attempts, but I got it!

Happy Halloween

The kids had a great time trick-or-treating.

They rode in style using their wagon. Grandpa Mark went with us.

The first time Charlie had to get out of the wagon and knock, he tried to walk in their house!

One more house to go...

Of course his favorite part of the evening was eating candy when we got home.

Fall Festivities

The kids have had a great Halloween season! Taylor and Grace went to Ursuline's Halloween Party with their mommies. Here's them dancing.

Taylor tried to stick the hat on the witch, but she had a height disadvantage.

The kids painted pumpkins at our church last Sunday. Charlie actually did pretty well!

Taylor even went to a farm for a field trip at school. (This is her class minus two kids)

Her cousin, Grace's, class was there on the same day.

I got to tag along, too.

I also came to her school on "Crazy Hat Day" to help out. This is them going on a bear hunt.

Then she practiced riding her new bike. She's gotten really good at it!

(She decided it was easier with a tutu on)

Happy Birthday!

The kids had a wonderful birthday. They loved blowing the noisemakers and playing with the balloons.

We had a Dora and Deigo theme for the party.

Taylor loved her Dora cake (a little too much; she licked it after blowing out the candles!)

Both kids got cute dress up clothes.

The whole family enjoyed the wonderful day!

Fall Fun

We went to a farm and pumpkin patch last weekend. The kids loved feeding the animals carrots.

Although, they eventually found it hard to part with their carrots!

Charlie even took his along on the hay ride to the pumpkin patch.

Then on Monday, I took the kids to another smaller farm just for fun.

How we love the fall...

The Learning Tree Farm

The kids went to The Learning Tree Farm in Dayton this morning. It was a little chilly and rainy, but they didn't seem to mind!

Charlie was mesmorized by an airplane.

The kids got to pet lots of animals, and they were not afraid at all.

This sheep's name was Freakles and she loved being petted.

At the end the kids got to pick out their own pumpkins.

Charlie was such a big boy making that walk back from the pumpkins.

Overall, it was a very fun outing.
