Catch up time

 The girls and I just got back from a fun weekend visiting Amy and Seth in New York.  But before I do a post on that I wanted to catch up on the fall.  So here is our October, November and early December in pictures.
Madeleine and Jim ran in the annual Glendale Firehouse Run
Madeleine getting a manicure and a pedicure at a birthday party.  That was big excitement.
Playing in the leaves and pine needles.  The girls wanted to sweep the leaves up as you can see the broom in the background.
Tommy getting cozy on Gracie's bed.
Picking out our 2012 pumpkins.  This might actually be the best pumpkin patch shot we have ever had.
Trunk or Treat at North Glendale.  The kids had a blast seeing their friends and getting candy at all the cars.
Tommy on Halloween
Hadley's class party... she decided to dress as Princess Merida after she found out another friend was.
Madeleine's class party
Carving pumpkins... Hadley was the only one interested in helping.
Madeleine as Izzy from Jake and the Neverland Pirates.  
Hadley went back to her original Alice costume for trick or treating.  She had also dressed as Dorothy at the Kirkwood Halloween Walk.
Tommy as the cutest lion.  
Madeleine and her soccer team.  They had a fun season.
Hadley at an ice skating party
Caught this on the camera Thanksgiving morning.  Madeleine said Tommy thought she was the Mommy because he kept bringing her books so I told her to read to him.  He sat right down on her lap.  Then she realized how frustrating it is when he only lets you get through a few pages before he wants a different book 
Tommy on Thanksgiving.  He enjoyed walking LuLu around the house
The girls enjoyed dressing up.  It was a very coordinated effort.
Hadley with my old American Girl doll all dressed up for Christmas. 
Three asleep in the car on the way to the annual Pig Roast at our friends
Madeleine couldn't wait to try and climb a tree there this year after seeing the other kids do it last year.
Hadley found some new friends to ride with on the hayride.  Their blanket must have looked cozy.
Tommy and Jim on the hayride.
Madeleine enjoyed sitting on the back with the other kids
Visit with Santa at the Glendale tree lighting.   This is after he arrived by fire truck.
Tommy was not interested in Santa so Mrs Claus tried to read him a book.
Visit with Santa at Viz breakfast with Santa the next morning.  Tommy was still not interested in Santa but this time I got a picture of it.
The girls loved seeing him though.
Celebrating Uncle Todd's engagement on an unseasonably warm day in December.   Congrats Todd and Maribeth!
This might be our best family picture ever!  We need to pose with Todd and Maribeth more :)
A bike ride in December!  Yes, it was warm enough to wear shorts at 9 in the morning.  Crazy!
Tommy loves the water bottles.
