October 2020

 Here is a glimpse of what we were up to in October....

Abigail and Elena's Sun dials

This pumpkin was grown from our very own garden! We were proud.

We grew both of these pumpkins too, one in the garden, one in my oven. :)

Yummy cinnamon rolls for General Conference

We had the sisters over for a few of the sessions and decided to watch it outside with a fire going. It was really fun!

John totally fell asleep during the afternoon session.

"If I kiss it, will it become a princess?"

Elena and Abigail's 1/2 birthday. They each got to eat one of the 1s.

We went to an awesome pumpkin patch, corn maze and farm. The kids had a blast doing all the activities.

Fun crafts at the gym

We also went on a hike by Saylorville lake.

Tea party time!

We had Jamie over for s'mores and then the girls slept in the tent.

Date with daddy. Making sure everyone is wearing a mask!

Adriana, Elena and Abigail all joined the swim team this fall and we had the first meet! They did great and worked hard!

More fun with the firepit

Sweet Savannah

We had an early snow and quickly picked everything left in our garden.

Savannah laid out her clothes and decided to add books for the hands and shoes.

On the way to swim practice

Savannah turned 5!! She was a little shy with her breakfast in bed

The whipping cream was a hit!

The older girls worked hard to make these posters. Savannah was happily surprised.

Going to the zoo to celebrate Savannah's birthday!

Savannah really wanted to go on the carousel, but it was closed because of the cold. Mark found the right person to talk to and asked if they could open it for her birthday. They were so nice and agreed. They didn't even charge us. 

We did a drive by birthday and passed out cupcakes. She was so excited all day long. She has been anticipating this day for a long time!

Hot dogs and hamburgers for dinner!

Hello Kitty cake

Grandma and Grandpa Hansen also came to celebrate the birthday girl!

She wanted a Hello Kitty Frozen birthday so Adriana frosted the frozen cake and did a great job!!

Together with the Lecaques to celebrate

Savannah invited Mylee and Macee over for a playdate birthday. The got face paint and decorated cupcakes!

We decorated pumpkins too!

Halloween Fun!!

Play date with the Lecaques and a ghost cake!

Our friends made the coolest spook yard!

The Haags house at night. They even had a haunted maze.
