Fall traditions and holidays 2015

and all of a sudden, just like that the holidays were upon us. in full swing...and it was very busy. but we hung in there and enjoyed this special time of the year. love our traditions as a family most of all.

our baby boy....still two and still melting my heart.


a date with my kinsley. just the two of us. her choice...that place with the best fruit punch and mac and cheese. panera of course! 


a beautiful morning at the Greenway with Grammy.


never too soon for christmas jammies and sheets....right?


surprised our birthday girl with a trip to Disney in a few weeks for her birthday. hooray!


she had been asking for a few weeks to learn how to ride her bike without the training wheels. so one afternoon tyler and her went back and forth down the street. on the third afternoon she was off. it was amazing. how determined our kinsley jane is. she wants to do something and she doesnt give up.


i always think of Tom when i decorate his table. i love how i pulled the decorations together and our new thankful tree.


thanksgiving day morning...watching the Macy's parade and playing games and baking pies. my very favorite.


thanksgiving lunch and swimming at Eric and Lita's


such a stud


happy birthday dinner for mimi! watching dolphins and the sunset and eating out.


christmas tree shopping....second year going to the italian american club. the first one we all walked up to was the ultimate winner in the end.  thomas's outfit was memorable.

and home to decorate the tree and have hot chocolate. was a little stressful since thomas hung all the ornaments on the same branches and we broke a few ornaments but it was still a special night.


jammie day for the little kids at preschool and field day for sammy!


a movie date...mommy daddy and our girls...




a day trip to the Tampa Zoo....kins had some sour behavior that day but the weather was beautiful and we enjoyed a new adventure.


oh back to thanksgiving...hehehehe...baking that morning together was so fun! breakfast casserole and dessert pies!


ready for December now!
