Last Sunday we went sledding by my parents' house. Ethan and Keith liked it a lot, but Liliana wasn't so sure about it. Then on Monday, I stayed home with the kids, and we put up the tree. Both of the kids loved it! Liliana was especially proud when she got the ornaments to stay! This is going to be a wonderful Christmas season!
First real snow of the year! Ethan was SUPER excited, and Liliana didn't know exactly what to think! We'll see if Michigan winters grow on her or not...
So, it seems like the holiday are quickly approaching now that soccer season and Halloween have passed. For soccer, Ethan had a great 1st season! He played well for most of the games, but we knew he could do better, and he hadn't scored a goal yet. So, we bribed him the last game! We told him that if he made a goal, we'd buy him a new power ranger. IT WORKED! He played awesome and made a goal! Needless to say, he was a happy boy (and we were quite proud parents)!
For Halloween, the kids went to school with me all day. Our whole school went to the movie theatre, which turned into Lili's first bus ride and movie! We then went back to school for lunch and holiday parties! They had a lot of fun, and both of them slept all the way home! We quickly got some dinner and went out for trick-or-treating! Liliana was a bumblebee and Ethan was Bumblebee from Transformers. They were both so cute, and they both thoroughly enjoyed the festivities!
Today we spent some time outside, enjoying the beautiful weather and the big pile of leaves across the street! Now we prepare for the holiday season. Ethan keeps all eyes on advertisements and is constantly adding to his list! Hopefully we can get him to remember the real reason we celebrate!
