Happy Thanksgiving

It seems like a busy month and it's not even over yet!

We started off with a cool visit to the airport to see these military fighter jets that were passing through. They allowed the public to come down and see them and talk to the pilots.  It poured rain right before we got there which totally cleared out the crowd so that worked in our favor.  

In the end though, what the kids loved most was being on the tarmac and watching the Hawaiian Airlines flight pull back from the gate, taxi down the runway and take off right before them.  Ha ha! 

We also finished up Esme's first soccer season.  The twins love to eat all Esme's snacks during half time.  Here Eve has her grapes in her cheeks.

Just another potty run at the soccer fields ;)

For the long Veteran's day weekend we decided to head to Kings Land in Waikoloa.  It was nice to have a change of scenery and also to celebrate our anniversary and Allen's birthday.

It's shocking how we're able to get decent family photos these days :)  Anyways we took the kids out to dinner both nights and they amazed us with such good behavior.  It's been awhile since we've done that with all 6 of us!

The waterslide in the kiddie area was a family favorite.  Esme said the favorite part of her weekend was just going down the slide with Chan.  Awww!

Dinner at Lava Lava

On their best behavior

And best of all is the early morning snuggles with all the kids!  Watching cartoons in bed is such a treat for them.  Ha ha!

Happy birthday to our Allen!!!  He was so lucky we celebrated throughout the week!

Poppy sneaking Chan's baseball cap.  Go Andrews (the team Chan plays for)!

And we've ended up at Thanksgiving.  So thankful for all these adorable faces!

Thanksgiving lunch ended up at our house so we had to whip together some last minute decorations.

And Black Friday we opted to go outside instead of in.  The kids had a blast at Spencer's Beach Park.

Sun, sand and water therapy do wonders for the soul! Now we're ready for the holidays to begin!

Happy Halloween

The littles had their first ever trick or treating experience and of course, they loved it!  Poppy quickly caught on that if she said "trick or treat" then she would get something.  Eve knew what she had to do but was too shy and wouldn't look anyone in the face...and she still got something.  Ha ha!  We took them to 3 houses which was perfect cause their little buckets were filled up and they were ready to go home and check it all out.  The biggies continued on with daddy and the Lindsey clan to circle the whole neighborhood. 

They walked to the top of our street and back and as you can see they were all smiles!

There was some serious candy trading/sharing going on when they got home.

Our little unicorn

We actually had a few Halloween festivities the weekend prior to Halloween so Esme had a few costume changes.  Chan got good use out of his costume and wore it out this year!

Kids party at the Yacht Club - the twins intro to Halloween and costumes and scary.

I begged Esme to wear her bumblebee costume so they could be two bees together.  They were cracking up when I wanted them to bump butts.

Fall Festival at Waiakea High School where we picked out our pumpkins

And because we ran out of time to paint them, we pulled out the Mr Potato Head kits and everyone was happy!
