Christmas!

We have had a very busy but very wonderful holiday season! We went to Easley SC for the Suhrer family Christmas (my mom's side), then spent the night in Greenville to celebrate Christmas with my family. Then we went to Greensboro to spend Christmas with Tim's family and had a wonderful, relaxing time. And this weekend, we went to Aiken for the long weekend. Here are some pictures from the month...

Fall...

We have had a great fall so far, other than all having colds! Wills loves playing outside this time of year - he loves the leaves and the sticks, especially.

Grandpa Frank came to visit earlier this month and we took Wills to the zoo. His favorite animals are the "girapp" (giraffe), the elephant, and of course, the "panna bear" (panda bear). We also had a great visit with my family over Thanksgiving - they all came here to celebrate!

2 year old pics

We took Wills yesterday to get some 2 year old pictures. I seriously didn't think that any of them would be salvageable...but believe or not, we got some good ones! I even bought a special outfit just to make his Grammy happy (you're welcome, Grammy) :)

Grandparents, let me know which ones you like and I'll send some to you!

"Trick or Treat"

Happy Halloween!

Wills' grandma sent him this adorable Halloween costume, and Wills was so excited to be a "thunk" for halloween! We took him to our neighborhood Halloween party at 5 and then went trick-or-treating with some neighbors afterward. Wills loved it - he actually started running from one house to the next. He learned pretty quickly how to say "trick or treat!" to get some candy. At one point, he wanted a piece of candy so bad that he just sat right down in the middle of someone's driveway and waited for me to give him a piece :)

Boo at the Zoo!

Today my friend Shannon and I took her daughter (Scarlett) and Wills to Boo at the Zoo. It was a blast! They loved the costumes, the animals, the music, and of course, the candy. They also seemed to really like each other! Scarlett was Cinderella...and Wills was a skunk! Pepe Le Pue, to be exact. Thanks Grandma, for the great costume - it was a hit!

Wills walked right up to both of these furry animals and gave them big hugs - it was so cute! He really likes Clifford the Dog...don't ask me how or why - they must read Clifford books at school!
