Halloween

As you can tell from the picture the theme for Halloween this year was Longhorns!! Caleb was a football player and Kelsey and Chloe were his cheerleaders! We had a somewhat quite Halloween this year with only 6 kids trick or treating - quite different from our usual number. We went to Fort Worth and trick or treated at my cousins neighborhood. Kind of hard to trick or treat where we live unless we go into town and do it there. We will have to try that next year.
Christmas is fast approaching and of course the little holiday in between always gets left out. This year however it will be a big weekend for us. We are having Thanksgiving at our new home here in Maypearl and then that Saturday we are going to celebrate Chloe's 1st Birthday. She will be 1 on November 20th - this year went by very quickly! We hope to have a real down on the farm birthday party complete with a hayride and bonfire. We will have to see how that goes - little nervous about the fire part!
Yesterday my mother-in-law returned from Germany where she was stationed for six months. We will get to see her Thanksgiving. I know she is excited about seeing her grandkids and us too of course! Funny thing about her returning because today my dad just headed out to Denver for six months for his new job at Southwest Airlines. We will miss him tons and my mom will be a real empty nester with him gone and us down here. Luckily Jason and his family are around the corner and of course we always have room for her down here anytime she wants to come and stay. Lots of new things going on in our family! We will update again hopefully before the holidays overtake us!!
