Getting Ready for Christmas 2010

Well the season is underway and I couldn’t be happier. I have actually been in the Christmas spirit since before Thanksgiving. A true first for me! I’m not quite sure how this happened, but I’m glad it did. Last year I don’t think I got into the spirit until the week of Christmas (maybe even a few days before Christmas. How sad is that?). It’s so much nicer to start earlier because then I can truly enjoy my girl’s enthusiasm.   We have bought and decorated our tree (with very little rearranging of the ornaments by me), and it looks Beautiful! The girls did an excellent job this year, Way to go Girls ♥. We have put up our outside lights (actually Clark did that for meJ) and lawn decorations. I have bought all of the girl’s presents, including all of the stocking stuffers. If you can’t already tell… I am sooooo excited this year!

HALLOWEEN 2010

Bret and I took the girls and our nephew, TJ, out Trick-or-Treating Saturday. We all had such a great time. Emma dressed up as Pippi Longstocking, TJ was a Navy Seal and Izzy went as a Dalmation . Bret really wanted her to wear her Dorothy costume but she had already worn it to Pumpkin Hollow the week-end before and to her school party on Friday. In the, end she won and all was good J.

Soccer 2010

So, soccer and Halloween are over for another year. It seems like this time of year always goes by too fast!

The girls had so much fun during soccer this year (even though there were days they just didn't want to go), and it was so nice to watch them each get their medals at the end of the season. Izzy has even told me that she wants to play again next year and that makes me happy :) I wasn't really sure how much she would like it, but it's nice to know that they both enjoy it so much.

Columbus Day

Today was such a gorgeous day out. I made a spur of the moment decision and took the girls to Coppal House Farm in Lee, NH. What a great corn maze they have there. The girls had such a great time. They were so amazed by the fact the maze is different every year. We are doing this maze again Friday night with Girl Scouts and they just can't wait. Friday nights trip through the maze is going to be by Flashlight... It should be interesting! I'm not sure how I will feel, let alone the girls. Something about being in a corn maze at night when it's pitch dark... We'll see. We'll have Bret there with, us so he can hold all of our hands when we all get a little scared :)

Isabella caught  a glimpse of the horses and she was just so happy.

My Beautiful Baby is just so grown up.

Both of my girls posing together for the camera :) How sweet!

Isabella is just so taken by the horses and the farm.

Starting the Corn Maze!

Coming to our first resting place in the maze.

Stuck in the Beak of the Owl

Stuck in the Eye...

We made it to the Head...

Uh Oh, we're lost :(

We are the Queens of the Maze!

The beautiful horses...

 The girls were very interested in this very OLD cemetary at the farm.

 I thought this was a real person when I first walked by the car :)

And last but not least... the beautiful display of pumpkins and mums outside the barn.
