Visitors!

We had company!  I love visitors!  The end of October brought our friends the Cordons!  We were able to see them several times and had a good time.  We went and stayed with them at their timeshare in Williamsburg and were able to swim, mini golf, play, have lunch, and hang out!  We loved seeing you!




Somehow all of my pictures with the Cordons don't actually have the Cordons or their three adorable kids in them.  I'm not sure how that happened, I guess they'll have to come back and let me take some pictures =).


We then had Grammie and Pops come and stay for a week!  We had a blast!  We went to Carter's Mountain, to see Despicable Me II, to get ice cream shakes, and house hunting.  Unfortunately we also got sick (poor Pops got it the worst) and Mike nearly broke his foot and ended up in the ER.  It was still a fun visit and we are anxious to have them come again!
 We had quite the hike to get up to where we could pick some Fujis at Carter Mt.

 There's Lilah, Madeline and Calvin headed back down

 Grammie brought a bunch of new dress ups!  YEAH!

 We went to the old Byrd Theater to see Despicable Me II.  The organ rises up from below the stage and we get a 10 minute concert before our discount movie. 

 The Byrd Theater is an old restored theater - the seats are uncomfortable, but it's worth it to see the amazing building!  Here is the old curtain.

Happy Halloween

We REALLY celebrated Halloween this year with 3 parties and trick or treating - we were tired of dressing up by the time we actually went trick or treating on Halloween.  Everyone had a great time, ate way too much candy, and partied hard.  Anna Elise was a vampiress, Calvin a pirate, Madeline a witch, Lilah a sock hopper, and Celeste was a princess. 

Scary!

Too cute to be scary!

Lilah lost her cute blue neck scarf at the first party!

Calvin's eye patch broke and he had to hold it up - but we fixed it =)




Ready to Trick or Treat
 
 
 
After Halloween I went to Michaels and all the Halloween stuff was 70% off!  We got some fun things, including a black wig.  Celeste is going to be Snow White next year so it was perfect.  We put it on her and she LOVED it.
