The BIG 4-0 - Lambeau Style!

Lance and I celebrated my 40th by going to see the Green Bay Packers in Lambeau.  We couldn't have asked for nicer weather in the middle of November.  It was 61 degrees the day of the game and we thought it would be a win because they were playing the Lions, but unfortunately we were wrong and they lost due to a missed field goal.  The game, stadium and fans didn't disappoint though and it's a weekend for the record books.  

Heading out!

We had great seats!

Yep, we had a Lions fan right in front of us...

The BIG 4-0!!!

I started my 40th birthday with flowers and balloons from Eleanor (my manager) and was lucky enough to get a picture of the girls and I which is pretty rare.  

 

Swim Lessons Fall Finale

The girls finished another round of swim lessons this past November.  They did great and will be starting up again in January.  

The Level 1 Crew - Elsie, Aftin, Bailee and Payton

Baby Sawyer Visits

We got together with Rusty, Tamara and Sawyer at the beginning of November.  The girls are just as obsessed as ever with Baby Sawyer.  

She's getting so big, sitting on her own.

Art and Book Fair

We went to the school art and book fair to see what the girls had made and stock up on some fun books.  We were so impressed with the art work and the fun activities that the school put on.

Aftin's art work

They picked out their own face paintings.

They did the climbing wall several times.  Couldn't get enough of it.

Halloween Part 2 - The Real Thing

We celebrated Halloween with Grammie, Grampie, Amber, Nick, Payton and the Madsen clan.  We went up to Amery to my parent's old neighborhood and it was pretty quiet compared to normal, but it may be that we were much later than normal and the weather wasn't great.  We still had a great time and the kids got lots of candy.

Playdate with Levi

The girls had a playdate with their friend Levi back in early November.  Bailee and Levi are very close and have been for a couple of years now.  He wanted to ride their 4-wheeler, so they all took turns and Lance gave rides on his.  It was fun watching them.

Halloween Part 1

 The girls celebrated Halloween at school with a costume parade and then after we did our annual trick or treating around the businesses in New Richmond.  We spent the afternoon with their friends Molly, Evan and Payton.  They loved it!

Dance + Friends = FUN!

The girls were invited to their friend Molly's dance class at the end of October.  They loved it and now want to join.  It was pretty sweet seeing them all dressed up.

School Pictures 2015 - Kindergarten

We got the retakes for Aftin's school pictures so I get to share their 2015 school pictures now.  They are starting to look so grown up, though they are only in kindergarten.  I definitely see a lot of me in Aftin and a lot of Lance in Bailee.  

Trunk or Treat!

We celebrated Halloween at church with Trunk or Treat.  I handed out candy, so the girls went around with Lance trick or treating.  The girls also had Addison to run around with.  Some of the trunks were decorated really well.

Silly girls!

Pre-Halloween Fun

The girls and I met up with Cara, Matt and Azlynn before Halloween to check out the YMCA Pumpkin Fest in Hudson.  It was a chilly day, but the girls didn't care, it was a day filled with bounce houses, a hay ride, petting zoo and candy.  We finished at Orange Leaf as a bonus.
