Walking in a Winter Wonderland

We couldn't believe it, we had a white Thanksgiving! What a perfect way to kick off the holiday season. We traveled to Midland for Thanksgiving, and we didn't really pack clothes for snowy weather. But that didn't stop us from letting Lauren play in the snow for the first time. She couldn't stop smiling and it melted our hearts to see her have so much fun. I think these pictures pretty much say it all, she is definitely our little snow bunny.

Some of the pictures are a little blurry because Lauren was running around so fast and wouldn't stand still long enough for us to get her picture

Lauren and Maia, visiting and warming up after a long and snowy Thanksgiving day. Notice
how red Lauren's cheeks were from playing outside.

Trick or Treat!

Lauren was a butterfly this year for Halloween, and she couldn't have been cuter. To our surprise she didn't mind wearing the wings, but Mom couldn't get her to keep the antennas on her head. Our street had a block party with hot dogs, nachos, and loads of candy. She went trick or treating in her wagon, although I'm sure Dad will be the one to eat most of her candy. Our street was filled with kids in costumes and even a haunted house. Lauren loved it all!
