things i love thursday- holiday movie edition

How can you NOT love this holiday lineup!? With Thanksgiving right around the corner, that cool, brisk air, and hot cocoa just fingertips away, these movies are the best while snuggled up with a warm blanket on the couch.  You'll know where to find me the next few weekends!

just breathe

I think we all need to keep this in mind this holiday season.

Halloween 2012

Halloween 2012 was perfect. Pumpkins came out great, rainy weather held off, and both girls were in great moods.  Most importantly we got to go Trick or Treating together and then watch The Great Pumpkin when we returned home.

Riley likes to bark orders....check out that face. She did NOT want to touch the guts of the pumpkin because she thought they were gross. We also realized that night, out of no where, she started talking clear as day. Four syllable words, clear as a bell and easy to understand. It was amazing. 

Happy pumpkin vs. angry pumpkin

 I asked the girls to make faces like their pumpkins. They were right on!

Papa and Spiderman

 First house for Trick or Treating. At least our neighbors recognized us this year =)

Lyons Falls

If and when I become rich, I will buy a cabin, in the middle of the woods just like this one. I will read, and play games, watch movies, kayak, canoe, hike, relax with my family and friends and be on a quest to see every waterfall in the world. Excessive I know, but this weekend away was exactly what our family needed. The weather turned out to be perfect. We were able to hike, check out some waterfalls, and most importantly spend some much needed quality time together as a family before the holidays hit and life gets chaotic. It was our quiet before the storm I guess you can say. The girls were so happy being outside in nature.
It felt peaceful. It felt refreshing. It felt freeing.

Riley was in awe. Really, she stood there for 5 minutes, just staring.

Yes, that is Tony pretending to slip. He kinda gets goofy when he's on "vacation"

 

She had her binoculars. She was ready to see a moose.
