Thanksgiving (x 2)

We were able to celebrate Thanksgiving this year with both sides of the family.  The Vinson's did a pre-thanksgiving celebration the weekend before Thanksgiving and we spent Thanksgiving Day in Bremerton with The Beltran's.  I'd have to say, it was one of the most enjoyable Thanksgivings we'd had in years!

Halloween

Izzy started the afternoon with a Halloween Party at school.  They decorated cookies, had snacks, and made crafts.  Then it was home for dinner before trick-or-treating with Cousin Alex!

Pumpkin Carving

We had fun carving pumpkins this year - and Izzy drew the face on her own pumpkin this year!  I can't believe how fast she's growing up!

Pumpkin Patch

We headed to the Pumpkin Patch on my Birthday this year - it was cold, windy, and pouring down rain!  After that day on the farm, I bought Izzy a new Eddie Bauer rain coat like mine to keep her warm & dry!  Since it was a week day, we didn't get the chance to participate in many activities on the farm, but weather aside we had fun as always picking our pumpkins!
