This year Grr Mom had her annual Halloween party the day after Halloween. Dan went as a golfer (very creative) since he we still on cloud nine after his hole in one. I was his caddy. Grr Mom always has fun activities planned for the kids including a pumpkin toss, relay race, and obstacle course. There are great treats, drinks for the adults, and a bon fire. The girls always have a great time playing with their cousins.

 |
| Cousins in jammies! |
 |
| A few times Reagan has come out of the bathroom with a sour look on her face. And now I've figured out why. She enjoys washing her own mouth out with soap, apparently. |
 |
| Mini-poms! |
 |
| I don't know another girl that loves to dance around as much as this one. |
 |
| Guess what song they performed to...Let It Go |
 |
| Loved the extra time at home with this one and her cute little mad face |
 |
| Dress up is always interesting around here. A basket hat, robe tie scarf, leg warmer sleeves, fedora, feather boa |
 |
| Love this picture...teaching her little sis the Girl Scout Promise |
 |
| Wine and paint night with my now former co-workers. |
 |
| Perfect end to my two weeks off work- girls weekend in the Dells before starting at my new office on Monday. |
 |
| This little turkey is ready for Thanksgiving |
 |
| She loves being a baby...and took over Quinn's car seat during a visit from Stephanie, Carter, and sweet baby Quinn. |
 |
| Ready for Turkey Day in a sweater and hat that were once mine |
 |
| Turkeys vs Pilgrims...made more fun by snow this year |
 |
For whatever reason when we tried to get this cousin picture,
Reagan kept pretend brushing her teeth...it was cracking everyone up! |
 |
| Such a special picture- GGR- Great Grandma Ruth. She's Dan's Great Aunt, but the closest thing our kiddos have to a Great Grandma. She calls Rylie her "little friend" and Rylie stood by her side for quite a long time that day. It was so sweet. |
We spent Thanksgiving Day with Dan's family this year- we alternate years. The kids had a great time playing in the snow this year! Thanksgiving night we headed from Oconomowoc to La Crosse to spend the weekend. We don't usually get there until 10:30 or 11, but it makes for a very quiet drive, which I love. I wasn't having to turn around every 10 seconds to give someone a snack, something to drink, a toy that fell, a new toy, a book, etc. It was peaceful and we actually had time to talk to each other.
 |
| The first thing I did the next day was go out and check out my dad's new car. He had one in high school and has wanted another one for quite some time, so through a friend, he purchased this one on ebay and shipped it up from Florida. |
 |
| And since Papa was working, we stopped down at the studio to say hi. Rylie sang Jingle Bells to La Crosse. |
 |
| That afternoon we went to see Disney Live for the 3rd year in a row. Can't pass up the free tickets. But they did change up the show this year and it included Sofia the First which Reagan loves! |
We also did more sledding on Saturday. It was going to get up to 40 degrees that day so we went early and it was perfect sledding weather. The sun was out and it was warming up and we didn't really even need coats.
 |
| Practicing at Gamma and Papa's first |
 |
| The I-don't-want-to-take-my-sled-back-up-the-hill pout |
 |
| She actually made it quite a ways down the hill standing on her sled...maybe a future snowboarder? |
 |
| And what would a trip to the sledding hill be without a stop at the Bluffside after. The hill is right across the street, so this is usually where Papa takes in all the action. |
Another great holiday with both of our families. We're so thankful for our sweet girls, all of our family and for the amount of time we get to spend with each of them!
