Everything is covered in white and it's that time to bundle up and play in the snow! Jacob enjoyed his first snow fall of the season and liked being pulled in the sled, making snowballs, and discovered what snow tastes like. He did not appreciate however falling in the snow face first or the whole process of getting dressed and ready to go out in it. Since my big-little man has grown completely out of last years snow suit mommy had to improvise with footy pajamas under sweat pants and a wool sweater. Top that off with a Thomas the tank engine rain coat, rain pants and rain boots with some extra socks, hat and mittens and you got Jacob's snow gear. Lot's of layers but I'm sure he was warm and dry.

Trick or Treat
We had a very fun Halloween once again. It was fun to see everyone dressed up and our little man took the cake with his engineer costume (and I'm totally not biased at all). Yet again we had a ton of kids come by the house for a little candy and we ended up going through 4 whole huge bags of candy. WOW!!!! Jacob loved giving out all the candy when the door bell rang. He would drop whatever he was doing and run as fast as he could to the door. Depending on what the costumes were he would either enthusiastically drop a piece a candy in the bag (to the lady bugs, princesses, or spidermans) or stand back in shock at the scary masks. We had fun and my little sister Joanna even volunteered to dress up as Thomas the tank engine and let Jacob lead her around the neighborhood.
The spooky dinner table
Aunt Jackie the mime...she won hands down for costume creativity
Aunt Dasha the angel with attitude :)
The Sea Ranch
We had the amazing privilege to travel to the northern California coast with most of the Hanks clan early October. Mike's mom rented us all a beautiful house with a gorgeous view of the ocean and we spend a long weekend with her and everyone else including: Uncle Cliff, Aunt Dana, Aunt Julie, Grandpa Hanks, Uncle Shawn, Aunt Mari, and cousins Alexa and Ryder. Sea Ranch is beautiful and we had fun walking along the bluffs overlooking the ocean, observing the tide pools, flying kites, and jumping in the waves despite the freezing cold water. We had wonderful meals provided by Grandma Hanks and got to play games and just hang out in the evenings. It was fantastic. Thank you so much Pat for sharing Sea Ranch with us! We love you!
Hmmm...which shovel should I choose
On our last night we even got a beautiful sunset
Jacob was sad to go home
