I am a sucker for almost all holiday traditions. I love all the cheesy stuff, and I especially love it now that we have kids. As soon as fall rolls around, I start getting excited about football, yummy fall candles, soups, cooler (supposedly) weather, and pumpkins.
We have a small pumpkin patch near our house that benefits the Aggie Habitat for Humanity, and we like to support them. We also discovered an awesome pumpkin patch at a local produce market. It was so great that the kids and I wanted to go twice to make sure that daddy and LeeLee could experience it with us. So, that makes 3 total trips to pumpkin patches this season, and I loved every minute of it! That also means I got lots of fun pictures for you to enjoy :)
I pretty much love these pictures where the kids aren't looking and smiling, and Beckett decided to try to climb the hay bales. They perfectly capture where we are in life!
The only thing that makes all of this better for me is that Micah shares my love for all things holiday. She was so excited about going to the pumpkin patch and picking out special pumpkins for us.
We carved pumpkins for the first time as a family this year. I actually don't think Chris and I have ever carved pumpkins together. Crazy, I know! Micah was into it until she realized how much work it takes. She also wasn't a big fan of the icky, sticky goo as she called it. She much preferred to sing and dance while Chris and I did all the work :)
And, I think Snow White and Dopey were pretty precious.
We had a great October, and we are looking forward to centering ourselves on this season of Thanksgiving.
