A Sneak Peek into the lives of Matt, Amy, Riley, Megan and Ethan
The other night we bundled up and headed to the North Pole via the Polar Express. The ride was wonderful and Grandma and Papa were able to come with us. We had lots of fun and the girls are still talking about it. We got cookies, hot cocoa and even got to see Santa on board. It was a great adventure and a wonderful way to really kick off the Christmas season.
Papa's big birthday was December 3 and we were happy he came over to our crazy house and had dinner with us. The girls just think that he is the best thing in the world...he is very special. We are so lucky that they live so close and we are able to do special things with them all the time. Happy birthday papa!
Uncle Ryan and Aunt Tracy made a quick visit to San Francisco and we met them up there for the day. It was so fun to see them...we miss them so very much. We spent most of the day at parks, ice cream parlors and pushing strollers, but it was so fun to see them both. Matt and I always love going back to the place where we met and it brings back so many memories. Fun times! We can't wait to see Uncle Ryan and Aunt Tracy over Christmas!

A little excited about trick or treating!
Riley's kindergarden class field trip
First time on a big school bus!
Riley had her first big field trip to the pumpkin farm with her class this year...and the first time on a big yellow school bus! I went with them, and watched 4 little guys. It was lots of fun and the kids had a great time. She has a wonderful class and is really liking school.
Halloween night got off to a rocky start with Megan having a 103 temp the entire week prior. She seemed to rally for the big night though. The kids were really excited. Megan went through about 20 different ideas that she wanted to be for Halloween, including a whale and a prince. She ended up being Minnie Mouse (Riley's old costume from 2 years ago). She loved it! Ethan was adorable in his Winnie the Pooh outfit and was such a trooper trick or treating with his sisters. We have a great neighborhood and had lots of fun seeing everyone and getting LOTS of candy. Next year we'll have 3 kids running around the neighborhood...hard to believe!
