Happy Fall and Halloween

The feastivities leading up to Halloween where so exciting for Alex and Rory this year.  They truely loved everything about Halloween and are still enjoying the candy...and costumes.  Just today I had to bribe Rory out of her costume.  The girls enjoyed nightly walks around our neighborhood to see the decorations, two Halloween parties, two trips to pumpkin farms, decorating our Halloween trees, and of course trick or treating!  Rory also made a trip to a local retirement home to dazzle the residents with her beautiful smile and costume!

Grandma Elizabeth made trip to Phoenix to visit us just before Halloween and treated the girls to tons of fun!  We kept very busy with a trip to the zoo, railroad park and a full day at school, and again of course trick or treating!  The girls loved having Grandma with them to help carry their candy and be part of the Halloween fun!

November brought a slight Halloween let down, but some new fun quickly took its place.  The girls have both continued to love school and have great friends and teachers to keep them entertained.  They have enjoyed many playdates and a very special birthday party were both girls got to go horseback riding!  I unfortantely missed it, but Daddy got to enjoy the fun.  Alex loved every second of it and would like to take lessons (I would expect lessons to be on her Christmas list this year).  She has been talking about King Arthur, the HUGE horse for weeks now!  Rory didn't have a much fun on her ride, but she did give it a try and we are proud of her for that. 

Oh yes and our crazy girls tried to get one last swim in for the year.  The water was way too cold and neither made it past their waist, but they really gave it a good try.  March will come soon enough and our swimming will resume. 

The next post will feature our mini vacation to Northern Arizona and very special ride on the Polar Express, Thanksgiving and all of our Pre Christmas fun! 

Love,

Caycee, Pat, Alex and Rory
