The Beginning of our Holiday Season!

We started our holiday season by going to the tree lighting ceremony at the Scottsdale Princess Resort on Nov. 30th. It was absolutely beautiful! They had the Phoenix Boys Choir there and Scott McIntyre (season 8 finalist from American Idol) singing Christmas songs. This was the first year the resort has done it and we will definitely start our holiday season off every year by going to this event. It was actually cold here in the desert....thirty degrees so it really did feel like Christmas!

Jamie never gets cookies at home so he was inhaling the free ones at the event.

Our pumpkin pie....she was walking all over, waving hi to everyone, and trying to find cookies crumbs on the ground!

Halloween!

We had a great Halloween this year! It started with Jamie's preschool who hosted a Fall Festival. We also went to Schnepf Farms, Trunk or Treat in Queen Creek, and went trick or treating in our neighborhood. Busy...busy...but lot's of fun memories.

Nani and Jamie at Trunk or Treat. The kids were pirates this year.

State Fair!

I'm finally catching up with our blog! We went to the State Fair in Oct. and had the best time! Jamie surprised us all this year and wanted to go on a lot more "scarier" rides than what he has gone on in the past. Jeremy can't wait until he's a little bit bigger and can start going on the "real" rides with him!

Jamie and Nani are in the second to the last row. As you can see, Jeremy was enjoying this ride too!


Going on the big swings by himself.

I couldn't believe it....he wanted to go on the scariest ride to me....the open giant ferris wheel. I like the enclosed basket ferris wheels but Jamie saw this one and wanted to ride it. It was huge and went very high but he loved it! I'm nervous I have a daredevil on my hands.....

Jamie and I having a blast on the roller coaster!

Nani, Jeremy, and Jamie going on the spinning dragons. Jeremy doesn't do spinning rides but he managed to go on this and not get sick....the things we do for our children. :)
