Christmas Pictures!!!

We got the kids' Christmas pictures done yesterday. They came out great! Robert wasn't very comfortable but this was the first time he didn't get upset and cry, and he did his best to cooperate.

Way overdue update!

I know it's been far too long since I've updated everyone. There hasn't really been anything really interesting happening lately. We've just been busy with the day-to-day minutia.

The children are great, as usual. Alessa is getting more and more personality every day and Robert is becoming quite the little boy. The baby in him is almost all gone now. It makes me happy and sad at the same time to see it. He loved trick-or-treating. He was so funny about it. He wanted to eat every single piece of candy as soon as he got it. It didn't matter that he was already sucking on a lollipop. He would hand it to Mark and ask for the next piece. He's so silly.

Since I am so far behind, here are some pictures from Halloween:

Thanksgiving was pretty quiet, but it was nice. We had a friend of mine over with her husband and children. There was lots of good food and it was a good time.

Here are some more recent pictures:
I am so excited about my new blog layout for the season. I think it's my best one yet! I know it's silly, but I keep coming back just to look at it because I love it so much.

Boo at the Zoo

This year we will be getting a lot of use out of the kids' costumes! We have a trick or treat playdate on Wednesday, are going trick or treating at the mall on Friday, and a costume first birthday party on Saturday. We will be dressing up on Friday and Saturday as well. We also have an adult Halloween party on Saturday night.

Yesterday we went to the Zoo with my moms group for their annual Boo at the Zoo event. It was a gorgeous day, in the 70s, and we had a great time! Robert loved climbing on anything he could and trick or treating. Alessa charmed everyone at the zoo and loved every second of it!
