Winter Storm 2008!

So we finally got my long awaited snow. I love it as long as I do not really have to go anywhere. So needless to say, Elliott and I have been at home for 2 days now just playing and cleaning. We did go out today and play. HE LOVED IT! Here are a few pictures.

So this year was our turn to go to Spokane for Thanksgiving to see Wes' Brother and Sister-in-law and their family. Before we had Elliott we never really minded the 5 hour drive, but now it seems to take us all day. We left Wednesday morning and got to Spokane around dinner time. Elliott did great. We stopped for an hour for lunch and then pushed on. We had a wonderful turkey day with Wes' Aunt and Uncle and their family and our family. There were about 25 people. The highlight of our trip was probably Friday when it SNOWED! Elliott has never been able to play in the snow because he was to little last year. I was not sure how he would do but he loved it. He did not however like to eat it. Here are a few pictures of the snowman building that Grandpa did with the kids.

So I have to say that I love this time of year! I love the rainy and sunny days, the cold and most of all the Pumpkin patches. Every year since I can remember we have gone to the pumpkin patch as a family and now that we have Elliott, the tradition continues. As Wes will tell you, I am all about traditions. This year we went to 2 pumpkin patches. One up north with my brother, sister in law and our niece. It is so fun to see Elliott and Aubi growing up together. They are so different that it makes it so fun. We then went to Scholtz Pumpkin patch down here on Sunday the 26th so that we could get Elliott's picture taken in front of the "How tall this fall" sign. We just love being able to do things as a family. We ended the pumpkin time with Trick or Treating in Downtown Puyallup as well as at our friend Molly's neighborhood. At first Elliott and Aubi were not sure what to do but Elliott loves to watch the big kids and he just took off and started doing what they were doing and pretty soon Aubi was right along with us. We love every minute of spending time as a family that we can get. Here are some pictures of the fun trips.
