Oh Christmas Tree

Our 2012 Christmas Tree (one of them)

Fall 2012- Partt III

Somehow Blogger moved all of these pics to their own post, so backing up just a bit...

We went to the Pumpkin Patch the day before Halloween, and took advantage of all of their photo ops!

Ready to go Trick or Treating!

This little mess would not sit still for a photo with her brother!  Thankfully I had a special photo session done of them.

Big hugs for Daddy

We went to MawMaw and Granddaddy's neighborhood to do a little trick or treating.  Their neighbors had a haunted house in their garage.  My kiddos were so brave...

...then Gentry decided she wasn't so brave...

...and couldn't run away fast enough!

A much safer house!  We love George and Bettye!

Going to the door all on her own

Grease is the word.

Doing it all by himself!  When did he get so big?

This concludes are Fall 2012 in a nutshell!

Fall 2012, Part II

 For some reason, these pics loaded all kinds of crazy out of order.  So, if you care to follow along, I'll try to explain!

 On the Monday before Halloween, we went to our friend Ella's Halloween party.  Rhett wanted to dress as a football player, so we pulled this costume out of his closet.  GG already had the cheerleader uniform, so it worked out great!

 On Halloween morning, the Great Pumpkin visited with treats for my kiddos!  Rhett was so funny because he kept getting out of bed and trying to peek at what I was setting up in the kitchen that night.  The next morning, he had completely forgotten about it, walked right past the kitchen, and turned on the TV.  We had to remind him.  Silly boy!

 We went to the Pumpkin Patch on the day before Halloween.  There are 2 major ones less than 10 minutes from my house, and somehow we barely squeezed in one visit this year!  Shameful!

 First house Trick or Treating

 Monster Mile 2012

 We did our civic duty and VOTED!

 These were the treats that I made for all of the friends in Rhett's class.  Thank you, Pinterest and Target Dollar Spot!

 All of Rhett's class in costume for Dress Up Day!

 We had a little birthday celebration for my mom on the night that our neighborhood hosts a big trick or treat parade called Monster Mile.

 My pink lady cruising the Monster Mile in style!

 We also served chili and fixins for the Monster Mile.

 And had a DIY s'more bar.  I bought this little cooking flame thing at Wal Mart, and it worked pretty good for those who wanted s'mores.

 I saw this idea on Pinterest, too, and made up two for Rhett's teachers as a little Halloween gift.  I attached a little pumpkin tag that read, "Thank you for taking care of my little pumpkin".  I loved this little idea, and had to make myself one, too.

 All ready for Dress Up Day at school.  I promised him he could dress up as whatever he wanted to for school and other parties, if he would only match his sister on Halloween.  He obliged, and I love looking back on all of his costumes this year!  And, it helps keep the important costume from getting torn up, so it is actually wearable on Halloween night.

And, my Mr. Cool on Halloween night.  Here his doing a Fonzy move, and saying "Heeeeeey".

Halloween Costume Photo Shoot

 Back in the summer, I won a door prize of a free mini photo session from a local photographer.  I had just had birthday photos taken of both of my kids, so I postponed the session until Halloween.  I already knew that the kids were going to dress in 50's inspired clothing for Halloween, and the session I won just so happened to take place at the cutest little cupcake place near my home, with the most perfect retro vibe to it.  It was perfect for my vision of a retro photo shoot!  Enjoy these pics of my babies dressed in their Halloween best.

What a fun day!  And pictures that I will cherish forever!  I now want a Halloween photo shoot of my babies every year! haha!
