Part 2...

And so it begins...Still October!

Happy Halloween!!!

And then it was November...

If you have been to our house then you know that the annual tradition around our way is to rake leaves...lots of them, for weeks on end!  But on a happy note, the leaves provide an excellent background for some really cute kids :)

Caleb liked to bury himself!

Our Annual Thanksgiving trip to the beach...

The weather this year was AMAZING!  The kids were able to play on the beach everyday and they had so much fun flying kites. 

Caleb enjoying the beach!

I love the lighting at the beach in November...who am I kidding, I just love November at the beach!  Jason refers to it as being "off season" snobs and I will admit, that is how I feel.  We pretty much have the beach to ourselves and when the weather is nice, it is heaven!

Austin is going through the phase that makes it hard to really get a good picture of him!

The tonka trucks for the beach were the best $30 we have ever spent!

December...

I got a call just before we left for Thanksgiving asking if we wanted to take a tour of the White House at Christmas!  Well of course we do!  What a surprise and blessing to be able to do this at such a great time.  I did it once several years ago, but this time around we were able to take pictures!
