Carrollton Christmas

Who knew Carrollton has a Christmas Festival? They even make snow so the kids can sled. We found out about the Festival because Chloe's Nana was on the ball and looked up things to do with her while she was in town. Go Nana! We got to ride a Stage Coach, do some crafts, eat fun foods, and of course sled.

Doug, Chloe and I

Chloe sledding down the snow hill. Kind of cool and who would have thunk it.

Chloe getting her craft and a flower.

It took all three of us quite a bit of time to get her craft done. It was complicated but, she loves it.

November 2010

I know I usually have tons of photos but, somehow I only had somewhere in the neighborhood of 10 pictures for the entire month of November. Sorry. This post will include a snapshot of the entire month :).

Chloe and Doug on the ferry.

We went to CT at the beginning of November to see if we could narrow down the towns we wanted to live in. We did. On our way back we took the ferry from CT to NY.

A picture taken by Chloe. She loves to play with the camera.

The day after Thanksgiving Chloe and I drove Dylan back to Austin. There we met up with Grandma Meg and Grandpa Art. Dylan showed us all around the UT campus while we waited for Ryan to get off work. It was a great day. In this photo Grandpa Art is trying to get Chloe to do the Hook'em Horns sign with her fingers.

Chloe at a Navy event. I had to include the picture because she looked so dang cute.

Trick or Treating

Before we headed out for some Trick or Treating we had to carve the pumpkins we had painted (we painted them a few weeks prior). Doug and Chloe worked hard on the faces while I worked on making us roasted pumpkin seeds.

Chloe with her two friends Dax and Zane. We actually went Trick or Treating in their neighborhood.

Chloe and Dax heading back to the adults after getting the goods.

Before we went Trick or Treating with the Behne Boys we went to our old neighborhood and Ms. Stephanie had a party in her front yard. Chloe got a special treat, a cute doll that she still has in her bed.

Airshow

In October we took Chloe to her first Airshow. She is quite fascinated with planes so we thought she might like to see them up close. She loved looking in the planes and enjoyed a portion of the airshow but of course the highlight for her was...any guesses...yes a Bouncy House. Apparently they set up Bouncy Houses at Airshows these days, who knew? She loved it.

Doug and Chloe were able to explore the inside of a FedEx jet.

Chloe and Doug checking out the engine. She is always asking about the engines on planes. Anyone supriised that she asked Santa for a rocket and an airplane as well as Buzz Lightyear. BTW they all fly.

Halloween Race

With Chloe's new found love of racing we decided a family Halloween Race was in order. Chloe ran a 1K and Doug and I ran the 5K pushing Chloe. Since it was Halloween we all got to wear our costumes. I think Chloe just may be the cutest Ladybug I have ever seen. She got a ton of cheers. Her course was quite hilly and Doug and I were both shocked at how hard she ran the uphills, she ran right on by two adults.

Family shot with medals. We each won our age group.

Halloween Party

Chloe during the Cake Walk

Our Apartment complex had a Halloween Party. We went dressed in our gear for the next days race (two ladybugs and a bee). We got to decorate cookies, make a card and Chloe participated in a cake walk. She was pretty excited to win a cupcake.

Pumpkin Express

Ok, I am a little behind in posting but, better late than never...right???

Chloe and I went to a Halloween Party with our PTA group at the Pumpkin Express. The highlight for her was ... no surprise...any guesses...the Bouncy House. She also loved the train ride into the Pumpkin Patch.
