Thanksgiving 2011

Hayden and I traveled to Fredericksburg, VA to spend Thanksgiving with my sister's family. Grammy & Pops were there and we had a great dinner. We missed daddy but were grateful he was off the rest of the weekend!

Halloween Fun!

This year for Halloween we had lots of fun events to attend. First Hayden was able to wear his costume to school for his class Halloween party. His school also had a fall festival we were able to go to including a bouncy house and pony rides! Hayden had his first trick or treating experience as well. It took him a little while to get the courage up to go outside but was excited for all the candy once he realized what it was all about. He also enjoyed giving candy out to the neighborhood kids. I have to say I think he was the cutest pirate I've ever seen! Here are some of my favorite pics....

Pirate Hayden. Aarrgh!

Visit to the South

In October we made a trip down south to visit Eric's family. Eric's parents recently moved back to Georgia/Alabama from Germany and had just finished settling into their new home. We were able to spend lots of time with the family. We enjoyed many family dinners, a trip to the local pumpkin patch, and shopping with Nana! Hayden was happy to have so much time with Nana and Papu and loved playing with his cousins, Emma, Alyse, and Aaden. Here are some pics from the trip....
