In Cecilia's words....

"Halloween is over, but it is still fall time." The girls had a wonderful Halloween season! It was Cecilia's first year that she really got into the dressing up and decided on her own what she wanted to be. She actually started talking about it many months ago and was so excited to dress up as Snow White. She got to wear her costume several times this year, and each time she was just elated to get to put on her "princess" dress. This is a far cry from last year when she refused to wear any costume, and I had to sneak a ladybug coat on her before trick-or-treating. We went to several "fall" events and enjoyed great weather for all of them - some a little warm and some a little chilly, but at least no rain! Lily had a great time too. She is such a happy little gal; she was just happy to be out in the middle of everything and see lots of people! Here are some pictures of some of our "fall" activities over the last month.

Her very first cup ever of warm apple cider
in a real mug - she loved it!

Trick-or-treating at the zoo.

Meeting Snow White.
She REALLY thought it was Snow White - so sweet!

For all of those train lovers!
This is Percy (I think), complete
with smoke! It was so cool. The little boy is in the
back part. Thomas was there too, but I was not able to get
good picture of him.

At the zoo with Brendan!

Cecilia had a ball breaking it down
on the dance floor at Huber's.


So did Lily!


Cecilia even made some friends all on her own.
I was so proud of her for having the courage to
go up to them all on her own and try to play with them.
(they all appeared to be siblings had had their own game going)


The best of the bunch with the girls and pumpkins.


Cecilia loved climbing on this pig at the petting zoo
at Huber's.


Mason O'Dwyer's Halloween birthday party!
He had been waiting to get into that cupcake all morning!
Look at that smile!


Cecilia and Mason digging in!


Pumpkin carving with daddy.


After the last picture was taken, Cecilia said
"No daddy. Smile with me!"
And grabbed his arm like that!


At Christian's mom's, with cousin Jazmine!


Cecilia LOVES Jazmine!
Can't you tell!?!

The best picture we could get of Snow White and
one of the 7 dwarfs!
