The Nutcracker

Juliana attended the Nutcracker over the holidays with several of her girlfriends from school. 




Spirit Rock at School

I painted the spirit rock at school to commemorate Jule's 8th birthday. 
 

 Juliana's 8th Birthday Party


Here are a few photos from Juliana's 8th birthday. We had a small "American Girl" themed party at the house on her "real" birthday. It was fun. The girls decorated mini gingerbread houses, did an American Girl craft, sang karaoke and played with their dolls.

Tooth Fairy


 Nathan lost his first tooth yesterday.  Here he is with his very loose tooth taken on Sunday night.


And.. after school yesterday. : )






And, ready for the tooth fairy. A note and the tooth.

October Fest

Scarowinds

Our local amusement park "Carowinds" gets all decked out for Halloween.. We spent the day there with some friends - great fun!













Our Annual Pumpkin Patch trip

We went to a new place this year about an hour away. I always love to get fall photos at these places! This year, Jules was not wearing the suggested beige shirt. : ) And, no.. she doesn't wear glasses now.. strictly a fashion statement. 











Tega Cay Fall Festival 

Since Frankenstorm prevented us from meeting up with Uncle Jack in Alexandria, we spent the Saturday before Halloween at the Tega Cay fall festival. This is the festival that Juliana won the costume contest wearing her Mike Wazowski costume a few years ago. Well, to our surprise, Nathan won this year! He was pretty excited to win. 





Receiving his goodie bag.

All of the contestants.. Check out Jules in her homemade "Vampire Fashion Sense" (as she named it), complete with oversized sun glasses, vampire gown, witches hat and a mustache! 



Our Hallween movie night. Here is Jules attacking the popcorn-- her favorite!


Prepping for the big day!

NATHAN GREW! 

At the beginning of the summer, Nathan was almost a few inches short of the 48 inch mark. Now, look at him! Now, he can ride the really big rides.
