Olivia decided one day to use one of her sticker sets (which normally decorates blank faces on a big pad) on her own face- we had a LOT of laughs that afternoon!

Hanukkah 2010
We had a fun Hanukkah this year. There were lots of great presents and we had a Hanukkah party with a few neighbors. We had all of the Hanukkah gifts under the tree and as soon as we finished lighting the candles, both kids would make a mad dash to pick out a gift. Finn was even picky about which gift he wanted to open based on the shape & size. Click here to see all of the pictures.
O Christmas Tree...
We all picked out a new ornament for the tree this year.

Thanksgiving 2010
We had a nice long Thanksgiving weekend. Olivia LOVED the Macy's Thanksgiving Day parade this year, we watched the Patriot's win, Finn decided to use his dinner as hair gel, the kids saw one of Dean's hockey games for the first time, and we picked out a Christmas tree.

Halloween 2010
We had a fun Halloween weekend! Saturday we baked cookies & carved pumpkins in preparation for our Halloween Party on Sunday. On Halloween the weather was amazing- mid 70's! We hung out at home, got ready for the party and played with our neighbors. To see all of the pictures, click here.
Our beautiful Ballerina
Curious Finn requested a banana to authenticate his costume!
Harvest Festival at school
On the Friday before Halloween there was a Harvest Festival at Olivia's school. Everyone was in costume and enjoyed lots of food and a Capoeira performance by one of the teachers. The day before Olivia and I had made cookies to bring to the festival. To see all of the pictures, click here.

Fairyland!
We FINALLY made it to Fairyland. Snow White graced us with her presence and we spent over 3 hours going on rides, listening to fairytales, seeing a puppet show and visiting fairytale animals. To see the pictures, click here.
Olivia holds the 60th anniversary clear key. The key unlocks fairytales throughout Fairyland.

Second ballet class
All of the parents are in the waiting area/lobby watching the kids on a tv so that they aren't distracted. Olivia is second from the right.
Running into the lobby from the dance floor- so happy!

Playing in the sprinkler seems to be the favorite activity during the warm Indian Summer afternoons.
