Welcome back everyone!
Thanksgiving weekend just finished, how was everyone's Thanksgiving? Ours was quite lovely! We always are able to spend it with some family friends and it makes it feel that extra special :)
I was waiting until after Thanksgiving to post the Halloween blog post, but if you are a HUGE lover of Halloween like I am, you will love this! It is a round of up family/kid friendly events, and also haunted houses for those more daring!
