Decorating the Christmas Tree

For the past several years we have enjoyed a real tree... but this year to save money we pulled down and assembled the artificial one.
We sent Emily up to decorate the top half! Well... some of it anyway! :)

Celebrating My 35th Birthday!

I got myself a ticket to the Coldplay concert for my birthday... luckily I had 5 wonderful friends wanting to see Coldplay as well so I didn't have to go alone! :)
Before the show they treated me for a fabulous dinner at Craft... a restaurant in W Hotel.

This is how crummy our seats were... apparently it's quite difficult to get good seats when you want 6 seats together. :(
Still... Coldplay sounded great and we all had a blast!

End of Fall Soccer Season

Today was Emily's last soccer game of the fall season. All of the grandparents and Aunt Sissy came out to help us cheer her on. Grandma and Grandpa Simon even brought along Madison and Matthew!
Before the game we had a picnic lunch and some play time at the park.
Grandpa was in charge of Matthew for the day... no doubt they will both sleep well tonight... especially Grandpa!
GO PINK LIGHTNING!!!!
Cheerleaders, Madison...
and Megan!
The Team Huddle!

It's all about the TROPHY!!!
Great Team Picture!


Happy Halloween!

We had such a blast this Halloween and the weather could not have been more perfect! The only flaw was that poor Wayne had a broken foot. He was able to do quite a bit of trick-or-treating, but couldn't hold out for as long as the girls wanted... so he went home and we continued a bit longer.
Emily's Bat Girl Pose
Megan's Bumble Bee Pose
We were so excited to start Halloween that we had are costumes on well before night fall. So the girls ran a few races to pass the time. Of course, Bat Girl won over Bumble Bee every time... even with the late start! :)
Candy, candy, candy!!!

After trick-or-treating, we drove over to trick-or-treat at one last house... Granmama and Daddy D's!
Granmama and Bat Girl!
We then went out for a late Tex-Mex dinner! It was such a great night... I wish Halloween was always on a Friday!
