Halloween

The Americans celebrated Halloween on Saturday this year.  Whitney went to the festivities with her friend, Georgia.

Family Photos

It's been a long time since we got Family photos (4-5 years!) So, we thought it was time.  

We found a photographer who did mini-sessions - literally 15 minute long sessions.  That sounded perfect for us.  

They rented this beautiful, historic Villa for an amazing background.  I can't wait to see the final pictures! 

The photographer had a table full of snacks for us while we waited for the family before us. 
It was ran so smoothly and stress free!

Ward Trunk or Treat

Our church had their own Halloween party. Jeremy was especially looking forward to the chili contest.  He chopped up some of our home grown ghost peppers into his homemade chili.  I was surprised to see that our crockpot was scraped clean!  I didn't realize so many people liked such spicy food!  You could tell the ones that ate our chili... they were all sweaty from the peppers! lol!

Whitney was making a homemade gum ball machine costume but ran out of "gum balls" so she refused to wear it. 
Aiden wore it instead!

Jeremy loves Halloween!

Primary Program 2017

This was my 3rd primary program since moving to Italy.  

I just love these kids!!  They did a great job!

Pumpkin carving

Pumpkin carving used to be full of tears and frustration (similar to gingerbread house making) but those days are over!  

The kids got creative and made their pumpkins their own!  

Before the week was over we finally gave these 2 a bath!!  So cute and white and fluffy!! :)
