Halloween!

What an incredible Halloween we had this year!

Ella and Aidan (AKA Rapunzel and Spiderman) were really into trick or treating and for the first time, we could just stand at the end of the driveway and let them run up to the door!

Lauren was our little ladybug - cutest one ever if I do say so myself!

Grandaddy came over and played for a while and then stayed at our house and handed out candy while we went out to trick or treat!

We had several friends over to trick or treat in our neighborhood this year - Kelley & Kyle came with Landyn and Lavery, and Amanda came with Evelyn and Lucas.

Lavery is Lauren's July 1"birthday sister" and Lucas was born on July 5.

The whole clan had such fun - we will definitely do this again next year!

Preschool Parade!

Today was the annual Halloween parade at preschool, followed by playtime, snacks and treats!

Flashback Friday

Last Christmas, Mike gave his Dad (i.e. Grandaddy) the gift of time - a day in which the two of them could spend time together doing whatever he wanted to do.

On Thursday, Grandaddy cashed in on his gift and took Mike and Aidan to his hometown of Nashville, North Carolina.

Via private jet!

Aidan was beyond excited to go on his every first plane ride, and to have his special "date" with Daddy and Grandaddy!

They headed to the airport....

...boarded the private plane....

....and were on their way with one very excited little man on board....

....who even got to fly the plane (not fake fly on autopilot, but really and truly fly the plane!)....

....they visited the house in which Grandaddy was raised and toured the town of Nashville....

....before returning home to Charlotte....

.


What an amazing day for Aidan - it could not have been more perfect! 


Thank you Grandaddy - we hope you enjoyed your special time with your son and Grandson!

Apples!

We spent an amazing day together as a family on Saturday with a visit back to our favorite apple orchard in Flack Rock, NC. 

We visited last year and had such fun and just love doing this as an annual family outing!

We enjoyed picking apples....

....playing in the apple and pumpkin houses....

....and stuffing our bellies with both apple cider and pumpkin donuts!

Lauren is such a trooper and an amazing little traveller!
