Happy New Year!

Birthday and Christmas pictures soon...

Sledding

First big snow of the season meant sledding! It was nice fluffy snow and we all had fun paying on the hill in the neighborhood. Thank goodness for snowpants and warm coats, though!

Cosmic Bowling!

While Will was home visiting Olive got her first taste of bowling! We went down to Tusayan with Amelia and Pam and let the girls try to knock down some pins. Olive didn't do too bad...I only beat her by 8 pins! (Maybe I'm just that bad at bowling....) Anyhoo...Go O!

Happy Halloween!

Olive had a fun day celebrating Halloween with a little party at her school and then a night of trick or treating in the park neighborhoods. The mean kitty is going to sleep well tonight!

Pumpkin Carvin'

Time to carve the pumpkins! Olive and Amelia drew out the design and Pam and I provided the knife skills. I think they came out pretty nice, all in all!

Mean Kitty Unleashed!

Trick or Treat season is here again and tonight was the big Halloween Carnival at the local school. Olive has been wanting to be a "mean kitty" since July and her wish was finally fulfilled. While she might not look super mean (with a fluffy blue bow in her ears) she made sure to tell everyone that she was mean and then showed them her "claws." We had a fun time playing games and even came home with a win from the cake walk.


Pam and I were Pink Ladies...(the outfits were more flattering in person...)

Pumpkin Festival!

Olive and I accompanied our partners in crime, Pam and Amelia, to the Pumpkin Festival down in Chino Valley. We had a fun "fall day" even though it was well into being 80 degrees outside. The girls had their faces painted, went on a hayride, and visited the petting zoo. We ended the day with a cart full of beautiful pumpkins and two tired 3 year olds!
