KC Royals Win the World Series!

The Kansas City Royals won the World Series!  The last time they won was 1985.  Jeff was so excited that he got to watch them win it both times, and he is proud that the Royals are #1 again!  :)

  

Halloween ~ 2015

We had a "Pirate" theme for Halloween this year!

Our little pirate princess!

"Arghhh!"

 Elli's skating rink had "Spooky Skate"!

Elli loved it! 

We went to a shopping area to trick-or-treat and play some Halloween games!  We also went through a family-friendly haunted house, but Elli thought it was a little scary.

 Our band of pirates!  <3

 Making balloon ghosts.

 Pretzel pumpkins.

Elli and Kaitlyn made some little pumpkin jack-o-lanterns.  Elli loved helping scoop out the pumpkin!

Kaitlyn's pumpkins!

Graham Cracker Haunted House ~ Oct. 2015

Elli and I made a graham cracker haunted house for Halloween again this year!  Our preacher's wife made us a cardboard house form already put together and also made us gingerbread trees, cats, and ghosts!

 Mixing up royal icing.

We used chocolate graham crackers to make the house look spooky!

Trying to keep the pumpkin marshmallow peeps from sliding until the royal icing set up! 

We put candy corn on the widow's walk and added some little pumpkins to the roof.

Our haunted house turned out pretty spooky!

Happy Halloween!

Kittens at the Pumpkin Patch!

We had fun going to the pumpkin patch before Halloween!  We picked out some little pumpkins and got to hold some cute kittens!

 Awww.
