Yesterday Colin and Lauren visited Santa at the Holyoke Mall. They each told Santa that they have been good this year and gave him a brief list of toys that they were hoping to receive this year. He thought that they had made some good choices and told them that they needed to continue being good kids.

Colin and Lauren enjoyed Halloween this year with some special guests. This year they went trick-or-treating with their friend Evan, his sister Jillian and their cousin Kayla.

Colin trick-or-treated as a transformer while Lauren was dressed up as a beautiful princess. We went trick-or-treating from house to house around our neighborhood and ended up with baskets filled with candy.

Afterwards the kids sat around in delight counting their candy and of course eating a few. While the adults enjoyed apple pie and coffee.
