"The Witches have Arrived!!"

The gang...every year we go for FHE to Gardner Village to visit the witches. Honestly, it really isn't that exciting of an event. There is nothing really to do other than walk around and FREEZE! All the stores have so many little trinkets that we can't take the strollers in and especially we can't take the running kiddo's. So besides keeping up the tradition, we go.

This year we decided though that we are going to bring Hot Chocolate and Donuts next year to livin up the party! Because we all want to buy the SUPER expensive hot chocolate and we are always tempted with treats at their bakery. So to save us money, next year we will plan ahead better. Don't get me wrong, I love this tradition, it's something different and out of the house and it kicks the Halloween festivities off! I'm just shocked each year how cold it is! Why does it have to turn so cold so quickly??

Our little twins...Jacob and Isaac sporting their twiner coats for this year.

Trying to get a family shot...(Jared had to work the late shift tonight, so he missed the yearly tradition. Sorry, hun...at least you didn't freeze!)

Alayna and Aunt Krista trying to scare us like all the witches!

Do you think they were warm enough? This is probably torture for these little babies? Oh, well they were troopers.

Alayna is showing off her new cute coat. Thanks to Grandma Nettie who gave it to her. She LOVES the polka-dots and it fits her perfectly. It really is a HUGE improvement from her old coat she was going to have to use. So this is a good excuse to not have to buy a new one this year. Thanks.

I love that Jake's coat is so puffy that his arms stick out like the little kid on a christmas story...

Alayna, I love your polka-dots. When your Grandma Jacqui was three years old, the curtains in her bedroom had the exact same polka-dot pattern and colors. Is that cute hat the one your Grandma Lou gave you?

Way to brave the cold weather! We love to go see the witches too, but my sweet and talented mom is the one who decorates and puts them out, so it is fun to see what she has accomplished and done. Love the polka dot coat and colorful hat, so cute!
