We had a spontaneous pajama breakfast Sunday morning. Bella especially loved wearing her jammies and robe to IHOP. We enjoyed chocolate chip pancakes and then were on our way.

Decorating
The kids helped decorate the big tree this weekend. Of course the best part was climbing the ladder.
We put a smaller tree upstairs that was their very own. Thanks to Nana and Grandpa for allowing us to borrow a tree. The kids loved putting the bulbs on. And as fast as the girls had them on Connor was quick to call out ball pull them off and throw them across the room! Decorating was good fun and the bulbs keep moving all over the tree. Really a great way to entertain on a cold afternoon.
Ice Skating
The weather was fantastic on Sunday. We went to the local synthetic ice rink for some fun! The girls love ice skating ever since we tried it last year on ice. The rink was a bit strange but perfect for the kids to practice. Their hands weren't cold when they fell and they lasted a little longer with all the bum falls as it wasn't as hard or cold. We will practice here a little longer and then head for the ice again.
Thanksgiving performance
Bella's kindie class put on a Thanksgiving performance. They had about 5 songs that the kids worked on and then enjoyed a feast with their families afterwards. Doesn't she make a cute pilgrim and then a turkey?
First snow
We had so much fun playing in the snow! We got dumped on in November and the kids were excited to play in all the white stuff. Bella was thrilled with her snowman. Marin was busy shoveling and Connor was sort of wondering what to do. He was excited but a little cold.

Trick or Treat
Sticking with tradition the neighbors come over for chili and pictures before the kids head out together to trick or treat. There were loads of great costumes and so fun to get everyone together.
Connor was really getting into the trick or treat. By the second house he was holding his basket out and signing thank you. What a good boy! He was clutching his basket tight and wouldn't let anyone help him carry it.
Trick or treating with Emma our cousin.
Taking stock of our candy. Connor thought this was the best part. It is crazy how many candy packages he was able to get open. Talented boy!
Bella loved taking the candy out and putting it back in the bag over and over.
Bunnies
Nonnie made this bunny outfit when Mommy was 1 year old. All of her siblings wore it and so did all of the Camaglia kids. Whether they were happy about it or not :)! After 30+ years it still looks great and the kids are really cute. Thanks for having all a part of the tradition and for keeping the outfit!

Pumpkin Carving
Pumpkin carving is always fun in our house. The girls really enjoy drawing all over their pumpkins and even digging out in the inside. This year they told mommy what they wanted carved out and together we made really cool faces.
Connor wasn't so keen on dealing with the innards but he did enjoy drawing his own face and design onto his pumpkin. Good thing his sisters enjoyed cleaning out the inside of his so he didn't have to do it.
