I am really enjoying this cooler weather we have been having. This past summer was so hot! Now we are in the type of weather that I enjoy. Too bad it won't last long before it is freezing outside! When the air takes on a crispness to it I get a little more pep in my step. Today I feel really exhilarated!
With cooler weather also comes a busy three - four months of holidays and family gatherings. This past weekend I bought Micah's Halloween outfit. It is an adorable monkey outfit. He is going to be the cutest little monkey there is! I don't plan to take him trick-or-treating this year. I will dress him in his costume for the Trunk-or-Treat at the church and to answer the door with us for the little trick-or-treaters we have come to our house. And, of course, I will dress him to get some cute pictures of his first Halloween.
After Halloween we focus on Thanksgiving. This year we are getting together with my side of the family for Thanksgiving (my Dad's family). It has been so many years since we have gotten together with them for Thanksgiving. I honestly don't recall when the last time was. I hope to keep the tradition going after restarting it this year. This year, I have so much to be thankful for.
Then it's on to Christmas! I am really excited about Christmas this year. I know Micah is too small to really enjoy it and that he'll probably be more interested in the paper than anything. I also know that it will be lots of work hauling him around to the different places we have to go. But it will be so much fun! And Scott is off this Christmas (BONUS!) so he can enjoy all of the festivities with us.
Let the celebrating begin!!!
