October ~ 2015

Happy October!  Time is flying by so fast!  But guess what, Ellie is still super cute!

Happy Halloween!

Halloween was so much fun this year!  Ellie really got into it and was excited to wear the Anna dress she picked out.  She even got to have "braids like Na-na (Anna)!" She was adorable.  We took her trick-or-treating at Lee's this morning.  They made a black light thing to walk through in the warehouse and I was a little worried Ellie wouldn't like it, but I was wrong!  She thought it was so much fun.  We went out to Newton to trunk-or-treat again this year.  It's just so convenient with a 2 year old.  Afterward we went back to Nita and Wayne's for pizza and to hang out.  It was a successful Halloween :)

Hogle Zoo

Today Ellie and I took a trip down to the Hogle Zoo to go with Tiva, Abby and Hannah.  It was a really fun day!  We haven't seen them in so long, it was so nice to hang out with Tiva.  I've missed her.  It was fun to just talk and catch up.  The girls loved playing together!  I still can't believe that Tiva and I were due on the same day with Ellie and Abby and that they were born 4 days apart.  Gosh, I just love them.  I'm so glad we were able to make this trip happen. Ellie loved seeing all the animals!  It was a great day to go, the weather was great and I think it helped the animals be really active, which is way more fun!

Pumpkin Walk ~ 2015

I love this tradition of going to the Pumpkin Walk.  I always love seeing all the creative scenes people come up with.  Ellie seems to really enjoy it too!  At the end they had a witch that you could get your picture with and Ellie actually sat on her lap!!!  I was shocked.  She usually doesn't like characters, but she was okay with this one.  Yeah!  That made me happy :)  I'm so glad we went and we had a great time!
