Happy Halloween!

Happy Halloween from Elmo Will and Belle Blair.

After a pizza party with Cousin Audrey, the kids went trick or treating.

Like last year, the suckers were a hit!

Trunk or Treating

Blair's preschool had trunk or treating this morning.  The parents lined their cars up with treats to pass out and the kids paraded in their costumes.

Elmo Will was pumped to hand out suckers.

Blair was a little overwhelmed but enjoyed getting lots of candy!

Halloween Party

We were invited to a family Halloween party tonight.  The kids were remarkably cooperative in my picture taking before leaving.

My attempt to take cute pictures at the party did not go as well.  This one might be my favorite:

Napa Trip Day Three

Finally got to the last of the Napa pics.  We didn't take as many on our last day.

Here are the wineries we visited:

O'Brien Family Winery

Mai(s)onry

Domaine Chandon

Napa Trip Day Two

We started our winery tours this morning at Robert Mondavi, one of the largest ones in the area.  It was fairly foggy this morning, but it was kind of nice that it was cool out and the fog over the hills was really pretty.

Some of the grapes up close:

These are only some of the barrels they had:

Next we went to Peju:

Jenn's favorite was Frog's Leap.  The outdoor tasting area was really pretty and they had recreational activity!

Brack enjoyed sitting outside and even took a little nap.

A great picture of the hills:

Our last stop was Mumm for sparkling wines.

Tonight we went to dinner at ZuZu in Napa, which had great tapas.  Here is Jenn on the bridge walking over to downtown.

Napa Trip Day One

Brack and I left for Napa yesterday for our first non-kids getaway in a long time.  We flew into Sacramento and went to tour the capitol before driving to our hotel.

This was the view looking down the Mall:

The Rotunda:

The Senate Chamber:

The Assembly Chamber:

Our hotel has wine tastings and tapas each evening on the patio.

We went to Cole's Chop House for dinner and both had great steaks!

Pumpkin Patch 2012

We hit up the pumpkin patch after church this morning.  Jenn's quest to get cute pictures of the two of them together continues however.  Here are some of the best shots:

Blair was so brave and wanted to go down the giant slide.  There were tears afterward as she didn't realize exactly how fast it would be.

Will was happy to pose with Mom.

Blair is always up for a pony ride.

The petting zoo was also a hit.

The kids refused to pose for pictures on the train though.

We were pumped the kids were old enough to pose at the cut out pictures this year.  We took a ton of pictures, but these are the best:

They probably had the most fun just playing in the hay.
