Funnest Halloween EVER!

First: Elvis with a cracker. What?Now, we all had no idea that going to Seaport Village for the first annual Seaport Village Halloween bash would be this much fun. Had I known I would have 1) brought Brandon (he was with his dad) and 2) taken way more pictures! I am for sure dressing up next year as well.
Here we are when we first got there. Chris was parking the car...I didn't get any pics of him! :(
Derek and his nuclear. Baby Elvis and all...
They had a fabulous dancing area with a DJ playing all the best dance music. I think we danced 3 times: right when we got there, after dinner, and before we left. Seriously, the highlight was the dancing.
Above: monkey
Below: frog

We know where we will be every halloween for the rest of our lives!

Oktoberfest!

We went to visit grandma at work today and I got an idea to put the girls in the dirndls that she brought back from Germany for them...

They are half German, after all...my dad is full German and Chris' mom is full German, so there you go.

It's Pumpkin Patch Time!

The obligatory pose-for-the-camera group shot...

By far Kendall's favorite part of 'the patch' were the goats. She was enthralled...
Kaylee wasn't too sure what to think...
The girls of the family...
They were kind enough to let Brandon drive a tractor...
You gotta love that they put the real tractor out where all the kids can climb on and pretend to drive. We had to pry Kendall out of the seat.
"Kendall, pull over for a family pic!"
"Check out the stem on that one!" Arnold Schwarze-pumpkin!
We had to buy carrots to feed the goats. These goats don't mess around which no doubt was partly to do with the fact that they all looked pregnant.

Then there was the corn maze that Brandon had been asking about from the minute we pulled into the parking lot...it actually was really fun. I got totally lost but Brandon found his way pretty quick. Why does that surprise me?
"Hello, 9-1-1? We are lost in a corn maze..."
Look at Chris pretending not to be worried. I can see right through that act. "What, me worried? Ha, ha, I could find my way out anytime. I just don't want to..." Sure, Chris, sure!
Awwww...baby's first corn maze!

Kendall leading the way...
Grandma having the most fun as usual...
And then, the hay ride.
I gave Brandon the camera because I had to stay behind and feed Kaylee instead of going...bah! Enjoy the next few pics of what I like to call, "the world through the eyes of a 10-year-old boy."



Brandon's analysis, "Mom, that was boring. They didn't even have any good rides like last year." Ah, well. You can't win them all. Happy Halloweenie!

[Aunt} Kat

Aunt Kat was featured in a photography exhibition in Germany...She is possibly one of the most gorgeous models (people) in the world.


Happy Kat! Look at that amazing hair...now you can see where Kendall gets it from! We love you, Kat!

Oh my gosh, this is a cute baby!


Kaylee is almost 11 months. She is pulling herself up to standing more and more. She still has the most easygoing personality- so nice for mama!

Matryoshka Fun!

Thanks to grandma for the matryoshka dolls from Germany. These dolls have already been well played with and I imagine they will be a favorite for years to come (if I can convince Kendall to stop throwing them around!)




Look: even Brandon likes them!!*
*I made him take this pic. ;0P
