Halloween/Dance

Alli was so excited to be able to wear her Halloween costume to dance class yesterday.  This year she decided on a lady bug.  I think she's the cutest lady bug I've ever seen.  The little girls in her class were pretty cute too.  She can't wait for Trick or Treat on Monday!


Birthdays




There have been a lot of birthdays recently.  Alli went to a "princess" birthday party recently and had lots of fun and Chris and I just celebrated our 34th birthdays!  Happy Birthday to us!

Homecoming 2011

This year Alli went with us to homecoming.  Uncle Nick also came up for the occasion.  We did our usual go and see the floats on Friday afternoon, then we tailgated, and went to the game.  Like usual Alli wasn't too interested in football, and took a nap.  On a good note, I won the homecoming Stein versus Food Tailgate Food Award for "best tailgate food" and came home with over $100 in prizes!  Thanks Tiger Tailgate Show!  I won for my caramel apple bars...they were good!  Thanks Betty Crocker!

Fall is here

Pretty much for the past month we have done nothing but "the usual" and Clemson Football.  How about those Tigers?  I have to say I was "Debbie Doubter" after the first 2 games, where it was a struggle to win against Troy and Wofford (and sit in the stands), but I have been pleasantly surprised by the way they have played since, and am excited to see how the rest of the season goes!
Since we had an away football game last weekend, we decided to take Alli apple picking in Hendersonville, NC.  The weather was perfect.  It definitely felt like Fall (breezy and highs in the 50's in NC).  We all loved picking apples and now have approximately 50lbs (a bushel) of apples at home.  Alli has eaten at least 1 apple a day since (usually more like 2-3).  She's an apple freak!
