minnie mouse

I got this little costume on EBAY. It was the dress Norah wore to church right before Halloween. It is so cute. I had the hardest time making a decision on what cute costumer for her to wear for Halloween. I narrowed it down to three. =) And this is one of them.

quick learner

Norah has been watching mommy! She picked up my camera one day and acted like she knew exactly what to do. She will also point at the little view screen to see pictures of herself. In a couple of years I am going to have an assistant!!

raking leaves.

Dad, Matthew, and I spent an afternoon in my yard raking/blowing and bagging leaves. Norah loved it. She loved playing with and in the leaves, and surprisingly loved the blower. For a girl who is scared of the dustbuster, I was quite surprised.

Go Cubs!!

Though the season is over....we still have Norah wear her Cub outfit proudly. This is one of my favorite pictures of her. She was in a good mood that day with her Uncle Matthew making her laugh.

The Holiday Parade.

In Kalamazoo, they have their "Holiday Parade" very early. It was this past Saturday. A perfect day! Norah and I got up early and went to the Brandon's house, Norah stayed there while I joined over 20 other people from church downtown and blew up 1,000 helium balloons with our church "northbridge" on them. We then passed out all those balloons and candy bags to children through out downtown before the parade. It was really fun. The parade was great. Norah loved it....except for the big balloons...she was really scared of those. This was our first time, and I was quite impressed.

Halloween Night.

It was a rainy night. But we did our best to make it fun. We spent the first part of the evening with the Miller Family, then went to see the Gregersen Family at church, then we were off to Northbridge for Trunk or Treat....however the weather took a turn for the worse...and was so rainy and windy! Norah looked so so cute in her outfit...and it kept her warm. I wish we could do Halloween again and again, it is sad they only are "allowed" to wear this costume once. She had three costumes this year. A princess, Minnie Mouse, and the baby lamb. I couldn't resist!! =) So here are some pictures from that night, and the princess pictures are when she went trick or treating at the mall with daddy and Gpa and Gma Gregersen.
