It's the Holiday Season....

I don't recall the last time I've been so excited about the holidays!  It's been awhile. 

October was a beautiful month and we had lots of fun getting ready for fall.  We took the twins to Huber's to pick pumpkins:

(Don't tell - we called Scott "Rudolph" the entire day because he went down the slide face first and got a rug burn on his nose!)

We took as many walks as possible in the wagon since the weather was warm for most of the month.  And of course, we can't forget trick or treating on Halloween:
George was a cow and Scott was a lion.  The costumes were very fitting for their personalities!  We only went to a few houses, but they loved riding in the wagon and shaking the boxes of Jr Mints they got from our neighbors.
 
Now it's November and Thanksgiving is less than 3 weeks away.   I normally don't like it that the stores practically forget Thanksgiving and skip right to Christmas decorations.  But this year - I get it.  I'm so excited to get a tree up and the house decorated, and to start buying gifts for family and friends.  (I actually have already bought some gifts, waaayyy back in the summer - that's so unlike me!) The twins are going to be so much fun - they are walking and talking and into everything, and put a smile on my face every single day (even though George did give me blunt force trauma with a Tow Mater truck today!).  These last two month of the year are going to be fantastic!
