Happy Halloween!!

We had a great time trick-or-treating this year.  Uncle Jamie and Aunt Ericka came down to visit so we got to trick-or-treat with Harrison on his first Halloween, too!   The kids really got into it this year.   Tyler kept saying 'more treats' as we went from door to door.  And he kept his costume on!   I was skeptical that he would after trying to bribe him for days to put it on with no success.  Our Cinderella was quite beautiful, too!

The night before Halloween, the kids' school had a trick-or-treat party, so we got to practice wearing our costumes and got to hang out with some of our buddies. 

 And now...Halloween night

This is one of my favorite pictures...

Having fun with Aunt Ericka and Harrison

Visiting the Pumpkin Patch and Headless Horseman

We enjoyed a fabulous fall day out at the Pumpkin Patch and then later visited Conner Prairie's Headless Horseman.  Alyssa insisted that we pick out the 'perfect pumpkin' at the pumpkin patch. 

   there's a smile!

Tyler having a terrible two moment.  Fortunately, it was short lived. 

 

 

Alyssa turns 4

Not too long ago, our little girl turned 4!   We had a pirate themed birthday party (her request) and had a bunch of her pals from daycare and her cousins over to celebrate.

Symphony on the Prairie

The same day we went to the Purdue game, we also went to Symphony on the Prairie to enjoy a wonderful evening.   The kids had fun dancing to the music and eating a picnic dinner outside.

Go Boilers!

A few shots from the Purdue game that we went to earlier this fall.  The kids had a great time - they loved tailgating, watching the cheerleaders and the band.   Alyssa didn't think that the game was as fun, but Tyler had a good time following the ball and pointing to the players who were holding it.

Yes, Baby Ralph made the trip with us too...
