Happy Halloween!

This year for Halloween my sisters and parents joined us for Trick or Treating in the neighborhood! I love having them all here! The kids have so much fun with their cousins! It's fun to watch them run and laugh together. It brings back so many memories of when I was younger.  Fun with friends and family...can't beat that!

Here we are eating before heading out!

Madi's friend Ella joined us too!

Silly Cheeseheads!

So cute!

Practicing before we go!  :) Mostly the thank you part!

They basically ran from house to house...

This chubby cheeked dude kept dropping his load...but he didn't care!

Helping pass out Candy at home!

Typical Saturday in Caledonia!

I don't know about you...but this is not what I did growing up! In fact...I'm not sure I'll do it now. I did hold a snake this year (very outside my BOX)...but mice...not thinking I need to go there!  The boys on the other hand think its so cool! No need to worry Grandma...they washed their hands!


Operation Christmas Child

Every year our small group tries to come up with a service project to do with the kids. Last year we did boxes for Operation Christmas child and thought it went so well...why not do it again! Here are a few shots from the night we met to assembly all the boxes! It's so much fun to be doing this with our kids and our friends!

School Fieldtrip

Here we are at the boys Pre-School field trip for the fall. I love how close these two are getting. It's fun to enjoy them together!  




Cousins & Costumes!

We got together as a family to celebrate some birthdays and decided to get the kids all dressed up at the same time.  Easton wasn't so sure about getting dressed up...so we're missing one...but that's okay!


Family Hike

Here we are on a family hike one Sunday afternoon. It was so fun to just pick up and go. We all had a great time exploring and just being together.
Running...

They were too cute holding hands!

Rolling in the field...

Flowers for Mom! So sweet!

Climbing trees...
 After our hike we headed out to get pumpkins!  The kids loved walking through the field to find just the perfect one to cut!



Cold Soccer game

A couple of the last soccer games were freezing!  Here we are all bundled up!
