Christmas Tree
We set out to find the perfect Christmas tree at our favorite place, The Black Barn. It's a small, family-owned business, and best of all, they deliver the tree. While there, we always stock up on apple butter and homemade candy.
Lauren is in the barn, grinning ear to ear as she clangs a gigantic bell.
All bundled up! We love Sami's snowman hat, although she is convinced it is a duck.
Lauren got to stay up late to decorate the tree. What a treat!
Ta-da!

Cookie Time
Lauren and Kaitlyn had a great time making cookies with Nana. 
We're still not sure how much of the dough actually made it to the cookie sheet.
But isn't that why we make cookies in the first place? It's really all about eating the dough!
Look at the pride on their faces! Beautiful.
Sweet reward...
And some to take home to mom and dad. They didn't last too long. :)

Thanksgiving Day
You could say things have been a little busy around here lately. Christmas is quickly approaching, and I haven't even shared our Thanksgiving photos. Better late than never!
We celebrated Thanksgiving at my parents' house with my sister and her family, Grandma Garrott, and Grandma Dimos. Mom made an incredible meal once again, and boy did we stuff ourselves!
Lauren and her cousin, Kaitlyn, were pretty proud of their big girl table.
We don't see my Grandma Garrott often, so her presence made the holiday extra special.
Dad always ensures his spot next to the babies. Sami can't get enough of him these days.
Here's a great picture of 3/4 of the Wellinghoffs. Little Alyssa is 16 months old.
Sami and Alyssa took their turn at the big girl table too. They just might be ready for a meal there next year!
Christmas pictures will be coming soon!

Trick or Treat!
Halloween is even better when you're a parent! If you saw the video of Lauren singing, you know what I mean. She has been awaiting the day for weeks. Naturally, as soon as trick or treating ended, she had already moved on to Christmas anticipation. The joy of childhood!
Here is a picture of Tink, ready for her classroom party.
Lauren's buddies, Morgan and Maggie. Obviously fans of Cheetos.
Pumpkin carving!
Pumpkin eating! Ew.
The finished products. Guess which one I carved.
Tinkerbell and our little pumpkin are ready to trick or treat.
Sami and her cousin, Alyssa, hung out in the wagon. They earned plenty of candy, even without saying, "trick or treat."
Doing his duty as daddy and uncle.
Lauren sprinted through this decorative entrance. Even after she passed through it, I could barely get her to stand still for this photo. Scary!

A Pumpkin, Short and Fat
Lauren has been singing Halloween songs all week long, but this one is our favorite. It's my first attempt at a video post so hopefully it works. Be sure to pause the blog's ipod music before you play the video. Enjoy!
