Tis the Season

This is definitively the most wonderful time of the year, especially with children.

It's Beginning To Look A Lot Like Christmas

We have been crazy busy with fun Christmas activities.  We hung our lights, picked out our tree, tried new things, went sledding, made gingerbread houses, welcomed our elf Max back, decorated our tree, went to see Santa and today we saw Santa again at brunch...all of this and we still have 2 more weeks until Christmas!  I need a nap.

Trick-or-Treat

The Banks moved back and we were able to continue our tradition of trick-or-treating with them and the Tiroux's.  We went to the Banks house, the kids made mini pizzas, we had enjoyed some wine and headed out.  All  of the kids loved knocking, saying "trick-or-treat" and "thank you" at each door.  Bennett had the most loot by far, he didn't really understand (listen) to the instruction to just take one.  All in all, it was the perfect Halloween.

Halloween PJ Party at School

Hudson had a Halloween pj party in his classroom.  I'm the room parent so I was able to plan it and be in the classroom all day.  It was so much fun to watch him with his friends, get to know his teachers better and help the kids enjoy the fun day.

Maui

Last week John and I went to Maui ALONE.  This was our first trip together since before Hudson was born. Needless to say, it was much needed but we were a bit nervous (at first).  We stayed for 7 days at the Westin on Maui and it was absolutely heaven.  We woke up each day without a plan, took long walks on the beach to Starbucks, had amazing breakfasts outside, sat by the pool, snorkeled, swam in the ocean, had a drinks and lunch by the pool, happy hour each day and ate a lot of amazing food.  We were sad to leave the sun and beautiful view, but super excited to see our kiddos!
