Fall, Halloween, Catch up...

Winter has certainly arrived here along with the holiday season!  I love this time of year so much!  I don't like the freezing weather but I do love the snow and I love what it brings with it.  Hot chocolate, family time, holidays, parades, lights, music.  So much going on, it's a busy time of year and I absolutely love it!

We had a great Halloween this year too!  It feels like this was the first one Brayden really got into.  He chose to be Jake from Neverland Pirates.  We shopped around for costumes but for the price of them all they looked awful so I decided we would just make his costume this year.  My hubby actually did the sewing and putting together of the costume.  It turned out amazing!  LOVED IT actually!  So did Brayden!  We went to trunk or treat at church on the Saturday before Halloween.  He had so much fun playing all the carnival games and trick or treating afterwards.  On Halloween we met up with his cousins and they took off in the neighborhood for a freezing fun night of trick or treating.  Brayden lasted a lot longer than I even wanted him to!  LOL... I thought we would only go out for about 30 mins or so.. but 2 and half hours later we finished up.  He had so much fun and got lots and lots of candy!  Braydens baby cousin Madalynn even got to be here for Halloween so we got a few pics with her before we went out.

Brayden is still loving preschool!  His teacher loves him and tells me that he is her buddy and is just a sweet sweet little boy.  I think he would rather hang out with adults sometimes and is still a little shy with the other kids.  He always comes home with cute crafts though.

Pregnancy is good so far!  I still can't believe that Brayden is going to be a big brother!  He has no doubt in his mind that he is having a baby sister.  UH... hope he isn't to disappointed if it goes the other way!  We had our first doc appointment last Monday.  Everything is good so far.  I am now 10 weeks and definitely feeling the effects.  No vomiting, but had lots of nauseousness.

We are just gearing up for the holidays.  My sister is coming out for Thanksgiving, a week later her and I and the kids are taking a train out to Chicago to see our folks there and then a week later from returning they are coming here for Christmas.  Will be a very fun month!!!

Hope you all have a very fun, loving, family filled holiday season!!!
