Fall is Here



I finally got to decorate for fall...last year we had just moved in and I didn't even have fall decorations in mind! Pumpkins, cornucopias and a cute flower arrangement Misty let me borrow to put on my front door now decorate our cozy house!  

We had a Costume & Pumpkin Carving party at our house 2 weekends ago.  I have really enjoyed entertaining in our house and using some fun things I got from the wedding! (We also have bible study here on Wednesday nights)  Our small group from church came dressed up and ready to carve! Here are some fun pictures from that night:


We had a wide variety of costumes: Lumberjack, Flapper,
Cowgirl, Eggs, Bacon, Rainbow, Ninja, Wonderwoman & an Inmate!

Our friends from Denmark, Rune & Signe, enjoyed getting to experience an American tradition.  It was their first time to dress up for Halloween and to carve pumpkins! They did a great job at both and we have plenty of pictures to show it!

 

Halloween was that Sunday night so we sat Smiley (pictured below) on the front porch glowing with a candle and waited for the kids.  We were prepared with candy...not knowing what to expect because last year we were in a little apartment and didn't have trick or treaters!  Around 6:00 here comes the first group of trick or treaters...(Dallas literally jumped out of his chair when the doorbell rang he was so excited). Little did we know our doorbell would be ringing like crazy untill around 8:00!!  We saw all kinds of costumes and all ages come to our door...by the end of the night we were out of candy and ready to just sit and watch the Rangers game!
 

HAPPY FALL!
