Thanksgiving

We had a nice Thanksgiving at home this year, watching the parade, football, and doing crafts with the girls.  They made a list of things they were thankful for and came up with quite a lot (at the top of Jules' list was Dora).  We made a big, traditional Thanksgiving meal and ended up with so many leftovers that I doubt we will ever do it again!

Our Little Gymnast

Lily is still taking gymnastics and just received a medal for completing another session.  She has a lot of fun with it and has improved a lot since she started a year ago.  The hardest part for us is keeping Juliet out of the gym during lessons!

Trick or Treating

After being cooped up in the house during the storm, the girls were very excited to be able to get out and trick or treat on Halloween.  Lily dressed as Supergirl in her cape and Juliet was Rapunzel, complete with a long blond wig!  They had fun glow necklaces and we all went out trick or treating together.  They were rather greedy about it and Juliet said she needed lots and lots and lots of candy.  They especially liked seeing  people's dogs dressed up in costume.  It was quite an adventure for them!

Celebrating Fall

We celebrated fall this year by going to a festival with hayrides and games for the kids.  They even got their hair sprayed orange!  We have had very mild weather this fall.  It was only after Hurricane Sandy that we really started to get cooler, more seasonable weather.  We fared very well during the storm and didn't even lose power this time.
