November- December


 December came in out of nowhere and here we are 16 days until Christmas.
Seasons change. We had a very Nice Sweeney Family Thanksgiving with our favorite Michigan crew. Beau just has the best time with them and we got a lot of time with them crunched into the small amount of time they were here! Being around my Cousins growing up was so very special and I still remember how fun it was to celebrate together every year. We have been out and about this month raking leaves, riding streetcars, Mama-Beau Movie Date #trolls, eating La mexicana, enjoying last little bits of Fall, meeting up with friends, decorating Our House Holly Jolly! So very Thankful. Six years of this little blog and Our journey/adventures continue... looking back on where it all began and where it has taken us. Blessed.
Mama Beau date! Trolls it was such a cute movie:)

Our Falloween hike was perfect this year until Beau slipped and fell:( asking Santa for some legit hiking boots this year! He loves splashing so much the rain boots are not cutting it for trails.
 Beau picked a spooky face Pumpkin off of Pinterest

 Spooky House Check!


These neighbors all grouped together in one driveway to pass out candy Beau went up got one piece and started to come back down the drive when they all started calling him to come back! Best moment of the night!

 Best TRICK OR TREAT EVER! Beau even saw a few of his classmates out which made his night!

 Back by 7 and was able to pass out a few more treats.
Dinner and Bed soon followed. This year set the bar high for next year for sure!

Cookies! Tonight we will be decorating for Christmas. Decided to do it early this year and Beau is so Happy about it. Nana came and helped last year and shes coming tonight too! Creating memories for these sweet angels gives me so much Joy in a world filled with so much uncertainty. 
I'm so very Blessed by these three. They give me so much everyday. I just hope that I do the same if not more for them. Our fall is coming to an end and although i'm a little sad I am ready for a change of season.
