I guess I could recap the entire fall since my last blog was a long time ago. First of all, it seems like we've had a short fall this year since we got some early snow and cold weather that didn't go away. It ended up being very good that harvest was able to start a bit early and once they started they were able to keep going. I even got trained in on the grain cart. I don't think I was much help, but at least I can help out more next year if they need it.

In October Nick and I celebrated our 5 year anniversary and I celebrated my 30th birthday. Two of my close friends from high school and I try to get together every year. Usually we don't go too far from home, but this year we decided to do something bigger since we all turned 30. We went to Boston and a great time. It was the perfect city for us to visit!

The girls had a great time for Halloween this year. Gracie understood what was going on and could have kept going later. Faith on the other hand had enough by the end of the night. Gracie was a fairy and Faith was piglet.

Thanksgiving was extra special this year. My grandma turned 90 two days after Thanksgiving so most of my relatives were able to get together for a big Thanksgiving dinner and to celebrate grandma's birthday. It was fun to get all the little kids together and watch them interact with each other. The downside to the Thanksgiving this year was that the girls got pink eye. Gracie got it a few days before Thanksgiving and got on medication right away so she was able to go with me since she wasn't contagious. Faith woke up on Thanksgiving morning with a very pink little eye so Nick ended up staying home with her. I did bring him home some birthday cake so that made up for it a little bit:)

It seems that Christmas is fast approaching. We begin Advent services this week and I decorated the house some already. I'm looking forward to celebrating Christmas with Nick and the girls.

View of Boston from the bay. We went on a whale watching tour. It was a long and sickening trip out to the whales, but it was a great experience once we got there.

The girls helping to bake Halloween cupcakes. They both love to help out in the kitchen.

The fairy and piglet. Faith got the two things in her hand at the first place we stopped and I don't think she let go of them all night. The one was a candy bar and it was completely melted and crushed by the end of the night.

Nick helped the girls carve some pumpkins.

Faith being silly.
