For Halloween, the girls dressed up as their princess look-a-likes, Belle and Snow White (Jenna's idea). They looked so cute! We had fun at the annual Willardson Halloween party as well as the church chili cook off. We all went Trick or treating around the neighborhood as well. Then we went home and had our annual Halloween movie night, this year we watched the new Muppets movie (no scary movies for us)!
In November, we had Jenna's 5th birthday party on her actual birthday, which fell on a Saturday. Jenna wanted a princess party. She also really wanted a pinata! We played fancy freeze tag, practiced walking with books on our heads, had a fashion show, and hit the pinata. After her party, Grandma Hughes took her to lunch at Chick-fil-a! The next day, we had a family birthday celebration at our house and met Wendy and Darian's new puppy, Drews.
For Thanksgiving, we drove to Morgan Hill and spent time at the Bedell's house with the Bedells, Merkleys and Sara. We went to the Monterey Bay Aquarium, rock climbing, Gilroy Gardens (a really fun theme park for young kids), and just hung out and played with cousins. It was a lot of fun! The drive there took 16 hours because of car trouble! The girls were AMAZING the whole time. We made it back in 13 hours, whcih actually was a more difficult drive. Jenna said she was going to stay awake all night if we didn't stop at a hotel. And surprisingly, she stayed awake all the way til midnight! Silly girl. The girls and I had a secret photo session with Collette to take pictures for a birthday gift for Daddy. Jenna and Ivy picked out the frame they wanted to give him all by themselves. It was very sweet!
We had an eventful and fun autumn season!
