Verboort Sausage Festival ~ November 2008

For the past 4 years we have gone with my parents to the Verboort Sausage Festival. It is really fun and the food is amazing! We are a big sausage and kraut family:) This year while we waited for our dinner number to be called we played a couple games of BINGO. The kids were old enough to have their own cards and Mila ended up winning a $2 jackpot. She was VERY excited!

Halloween 2008

Luckily the weather cooperated and we had a great Halloween. We didn't even need jackets (and that's a first)! Mila has been a black cat for two parties, Cinderella for one, and tonight she chose to be a Tinkerbell fairy. Ivan stuck with a Hot Wheels race car driver, but he did add a cool car to drive. We had kids from 5:45 to after 9:45! We went through almost 8 bags of candy! It was great:)

Trunk-or-Treat ~ October 2008

Mila and Ivan had fun "trunk-or-treating" this year. We went to a party at my parents church and also at our own. Clara and Mila were able to be twin black cats. It was great! Ivan LOVES race cars so he wears his costume as often as possible. It is always nice to get more than one use out of a halloween costume:)

Kindergarten Class Halloween Party ~ October 31, 2008

Mila had a great time in her class today. She even listened during carpet time as Mrs. Goodman wrote to them about their day. They had a guest musical performance that was really fun. Then she got to dress up, play games, decorate cookies, and decorate pictures of pumpkins. It was a great first class party!
