We went to Gadsden, AL to look at Christmas lights. We rode the train through the park and also looked at some animals in the petting zoo. Ellery enjoyed it all!

We were surprised, but Ellery was not scared of Santa this year. Perhaps her best year yet as far as that goes! The kids enjoyed breakfast with Santa at the preschool, and Ellery told Santa that she wants a doll house.

The Thanksgiving program at Elan and Ellery's school was a lot of fun as always. Ellery was a turkey and did the turkey wobble, and she did a good job of performing--no stage fright! Thanksgiving weekend we took some family photos thanks to Noni and Lito coming. Elan and Ellery enjoyed making little cookie turkeys with Noni.

Halloween fun--Ellery was proud to be part of the three blind mice. The first picture is of her costume parade at preschool. The second picture is her Halloween cupcake at trunk or treat at New Armuchee. What a mess! Then there are a few group pictures of the mice (and the farmers wife ready to cut off their tails). The kids won a costume contest at the local credit union, so they each got $20 added to their savings accounts.

Friday, October 28th we carved our pumpkins. Ellery was proud of hers!

Bath time--the kids love taking a bath together, but I know the days are limited. Took this chance to snap a picture of all three of them, although it was hard to get them all to look at the camera!
