Halloween love from Spain:)

Aunt Susi & family surprised us with this awesome Halloween decoration.  The girls absolutely loved it as did Lateaf & I.  It was a great addition to our decorations for the season!  Very festive and fun!  Thank you so much from all of us!!!

Ms. Mary (Liv's favorite teacher)

The girls' school had a Halloween party one evening the week before Halloween. We got all decked out in costume and attended the festivities.  They both had an awesome time playing with their friends and trick or treating around the school.

More Halloween festivities...

Every now and again when we stay in Omaha I check out a moms website to find local things to do.  I was super excited that I found a free event held literally blocks from my house on the college campus.  I loaded up the girlies to check out a halloween carnival.  On the way there I was thinking "I wonder if all kids will be dressed in their costumes."  Sure enough most where so at least we had halloween themed clothes on:)  Aunt Patti met us there and the girls had a blast playing the games and getting treats.  After the festivities we headed to have lunch/brunch at a little cafe.  We have definately done our fair share of Halloween partyin:)

Harper and Livia started school full time at the beginning of October.  Lateaf started work too;)  Harper is absolutely thriving going all day and has an amazing lead teacher.  One of her buddies from part time preschool last year is in her full time class.  The transition was very easy because she has one of her favorite boys in class. She is in the tadpole room and is learning so much.  It has been a huge adjustment in our household with getting to bed early, up early, and minimal naps.  All and all it is a good transition but a huge adjustment none the less.  I decided to tag along on their field trip and it was so fun to see Harper in her element.  I was in charge of Harper & Elijah and then Brody (who is in part time class) joined us along the way with his momma & cousin.    We had a great morning at the pumpkin patch!

and who knows what was goin on here:)

10.12.12 Our cousin Mclain Dorsey married Holly on one really cold October Friday evening.  Nebraska is rather unpredictable for weather and some October days can be warm and beautiful while others are cold and windy.  Unfortunately this was one of the latter days and so this beautiful outdoor wedding scene was rather frigid and cold.  Despite the weather, the beautiful couple were so happy and it was a still a beautiful wedding.  Thanks to Grandma D for bringing fun activities to keep the girls busy during the downtime moments.  We didn't stay too long past dinner and luckily we didn't because Liv ended up throwing up on Lateaf just as we were walking to the car to leave.  That weekend she had the flu and was one sick cookie.  As always, its amazing to spend time with our family.  We are blessed!
