Last day of school before Christmas!

Girl Scout Christmas Party

Chicago/Thanksgiving

Before heading to Missouri for Thanksgiving, we decided to spend a night in Chicago. We were able to visit our favorite pizza place and do some shopping.

We were able to get a reservation at the Palmer House which is the oldest operating hotel in the country. Matt was thrilled to be able to stay there. It is a beautiful hotel for sure.







We did some sightseeing too.






We then headed to Missouri to spend Thanksgiving with family.

End of another soccer season

At the end of the soccer season, we had a party for the team at our house. The girls had a great time celebrating a great season!

Halloween

Once again, we had a safe and fun Halloween. We had a group of family over to go Trick or Treating with and the kids had a lot of fun. The weather was great!

Riley had a contest at school and this is her pumpkin.

Getting ready

Pumpkinfest 2011

This weekend was Pumpkinfest in our small town. The kids were both in the parade this year for scouts. It was a warm day which made it nice!

Fall Soccer

Both kids are playing soccer again this fall. Matt chose to coach Riley again this year as we thought it would be a good idea for him to go a year without Matt coaching him. Plus, Matt and the other coach enjoy doing it together and we were not interested in him trying to coach two teams!
