Halloween

     A couple weeks before Halloween, we went to the zoo for Wild Zoo Halloween. We enjoyed it last year and wanted to go again. It was a windy day, but the kids still had fun seeing all of the decorated pumpkins and collecting their treats.

 Giant pumpkins are a perfect spot for a picture!
 The corn maze wasn't too challenging for Ben. He made it out much faster than Lucy. 
 Pumpkins painted like giraffes.

 You can't go to the zoo without a picture on the zoo sign, right? 
We didn't spend a lot of time on our pumpkin decorating this year. Ben decided to paint his like a pirate and Curt gave his a mustache. 
 Lucy painted hers and added a Hello Kitty pirate kit. I was the only one who carved this year. I had a pretty nice looking cat, but with the warm temps that week, it got mold in it really quickly. It didn't even make it to Halloween. 
 Lucy got some pretty curls before putting on her Sophia the First costume. 
 I wore a Storm Trooper hat to go with Ben's Star Wars theme. We tried to get Lucy to be Princess Leia, but she did not like the costume...esp the hair! :) 
 I found Curt a Darth Vader mask to wear when we took the kids trick-or-treating. The weather wasn't too bad this year. We bundled up and brought the umbrellas. It only sprinkled a couple times and we were able to stay out a long time. The kids got TONS of treats!

Enjoying December

I'm glad we had time to make sugar cookies together. Christmastime does not seem complete without them. I frosted the cookies while Ben and Curt decorated.  Lots of sprinkles and chocolate chips!  Ben loved getting slippers and a robe with his "Christmas Eve" jammies. He does love to be cozy. We decided to move up our present opening a day early because we thought I might end up in the hospital on Christmas. But, today is the 27th and still no baby. So we were a bit off on that one.  Santa brought the Lewis Hamilton car that Ben had asked him for. He was very excited!  The new pirate ship has been a favorite. He has played with it a TON a last few days.  Ben also got a few more pirate dress-up things. I've heard "Aarg!" a lot lately. :)  My parents came yesterday for a visit since my dad has this week off of work. We're hoping that I'll have the baby while they are here, but I'm not sure that is going to happen since they head home tomorrow. Ben ...

The Big 3-0!

Today I turned 30 years old. I didn't think that it would make me feel old, but it kinda does. :) I had a wonderful birthday. Curt went out and got us donuts for breakfast. Then, I got to open my presents. He did a great job shopping and I love everything he picked out! For lunch we went out to Olive Garden and then stopped by the mall for a little while. We spent the rest of the afternoon relaxing at home. I hope this getting older doesn't mean that gray hairs are going to start showing up! While I got ready this morning, Curt got out his old car track. He hasn't used it in many years, so he wasn't sure if it would work. Ben loved watching the cars race around the track. We enjoyed eating lunch at Olive Garden. Ben was too interested in coloring to look up at the camera. I love cheesecake for my birthday and Curt made this one for me all by himself. It is a chocolate chip recipe that is one of my favorites. He only added one candle per decade...we didn't ...
