Happy Christmas!

Decorating the Tree

I think Anna finally gets Christmas this year. Saturday we decorated our tree and the inside of the house. You will find most of our ornaments on the bottom half of the tree. Anna picked one spot in the tree as her favorite. Anna loves all the Christmas lights lit on our street. We took her out to see others but she does not like the flashing lights and tells us to keep going. I'm not sure if we will be visiting MacDonald Lane in Trumbull this year. Sorry Grammy and Grampy.

Santa's Coming to Town

On Nov. 19 Santa was delivered to the mall by horse drawn sleigh. Kids and parents lined the sidewalks as a reindeer led the way for Santa and his friends. Elfs handed out candy canes which Anna loved!

Halloween

Almost a month after Halloween and I am finally downloading the pictures from the camera. Anna LOVED giving out the candy on Halloween night. She got excited for each and every costume. Her favorites were the girls dressed like princesses just like her.

Trick or Treat

Eight inches of snow delayed Berwick's trick-or-treat night. For some reason I don't understand our town and neighboring towns celebrate Halloween the day before the holiday. When Anna awoke Sunday morning she was so happy to see the snow. We made our first snowman of the season.

Princess Ariel

Today Anna wore her Halloween costume to school. Although their walk to the mechanic shop was cancelled, she still had loads of fun. She loves her Ariel costume so much she has only taken it off to sleep and eat the last two days. During her nap I have hid it so it stays in one piece for Sunday's trick-or-treating. Wish me luck that Anna isn't too sad when she wakes up!

Emery Farm

Anna and I headed to Emery Farm this morning for our second field trip with her school. We enjoyed a spooky hay ride that Anna kept telling me "Anna scared" on our way to the pumpkin patch. After a snack and a game of tag the kids led the parent through the corn maze. Anna thought the corn maze was the same as Farmer Renkins' maze on Curios George. Anna got a pumpkin and also brought home lots of mud after her fall on the playground!
