Halloween Fun!

Lots of festivities to celebrate Halloween and we loved them all!  
We made our annual trip to the pumpkin patch station which is always a good time!  
Getting so big!
Such a cool spot!
We were cracking up here when the kids were in the cage with the goats because they were pooping all over the place!  
The girls, especially were laughing so hard-it was too funny!!!!

The kids had a costume parade at school which they all loved being a part of...even Joseph who said he wasn't excited about it did the "Tatis head shake" as he walked by and seemed to be loving it!
Here are their costumes this year:
Joseph as Fernando Tatis Jr. 
Ella as "Momma Witch" since she had the same costume as Charlotte!

Julia as a penguin!
Charlotte as "Baby Witch"!
We fit in the pumpkin carving the day before Halloween and they all turned out great even though Joseph got a little intense with his!  



The final products!! 
We also had the annual Halloween party at Nani and Poppa's which is always a great time!  


Charlotte kept asking Rich and I what we were going to dress up as for the Halloween party...we weren't really planning on anything but since she kept asking we decided to pull out our 70s costumes from a party a few years ago so that made her happy!


We had a pretty big crew on Halloween night!  It was pretty chaotic with this big of a group and the kids were all over the place but everyone made it home safely and all had a great time!  
Checking out the stash!!  I'd say they made out pretty well!

Georgia in October

Jeff and Taylor were married on October 23rd which meant a quick weekend trip to Georgia!  We love our time in Georgia but the weddings during the school year always make it tough since it has to be such a fast trip.  We left on Thursday and flew back on Monday but we fit in a lot during the short time and had such a wonderful visit.  








The highlight always seems to be just hanging out with the cousins in Nonna and Pop Pop's backyard.  They are so happy back there and spend hours and hours just playing.  














There was a rehearsal dinner on Friday night at a fun outdoor restaurant and then we met up at the Faiella's hotel for a bit after.  The kids were troopers as it was late but they just enjoyed the extra sugar and cousin time!
Hanging with all of the cousins on Saturday before the wedding!
The  venue for the wedding was beautiful and everyone had a great time!
Gina and Michael couldn't make it due to Michael having a Boy Scout event so we definitely missed them.  We were thankful to spend time with John though!




We were able to go to church with Justin, Anne Marie and crew on Sunday morning before everyone took off.

Lots of love for Margaux before they started their drive home.
Since everyone left Sunday morning we did go to Dunwoody Nature Center on Sunday afternoon with Nonna and Pop Pop which is always fun to explore.  
It was a fast but wonderful trip and we are already looking forward to the next time we can all be together!
