Pumpkin Patch 2011

It is my absolute favorite time of year- the beginning of all the holidays.  We decided to kick off the holidays by making a trip back to the pumpkin patch!  We met all of Ave's best friends up there too!  I love to see the difference that one year makes!

Here is a little disclaimer- I don't think that Avery is smiling in ANY of these pictures!  I've said this before but she really despises the camera these days.  

Ave and Garrett are ready to check out some pumpkins!

We set Avery down in the pumpkins and she was not so sure of it.

This is what happened next

Chelsea and Landon

Landon was the best sport of them all.  He was content as could be balancing on pumpkins!

Me and my girl!  Excuse the parking lot in the background.

I love comparing the pictures from last year to this year.  Here are some comparisons...

Last year-

This year-

Last year-

This year

Two out of three wasn't so bad!  They had way better things to be doing than sticking their heads through holes!

I'm happy to report that Ave's cheeks have stayed just about the same over the course of the year!

Now the fun began! We wanted to get a picture of all the kiddos together which is no easy task with an age range of 3 months to almost 2 years!

We figured that trapping some of them in a wagon was our best bet.

Landon was so still on Jackson's lap!

Goldfish were given out as an incentive to sit still.  Luke decided that Garrett REALLY needed some!

After the group pictures, we took a few more random ones then went to get in line for the train ride!

The Morris Family

Waiting in line for the train.  I love that Luke would stop and "cheese" with me!

They were being very patient.  It was a little toasty in the sun and we had to wait for a little while.

We made it!  Doesn't Ave look thrilled?!

Garrett and his daddy

Luke was taking it all in

I love this picture of Garrett.  He looks so sweet and innocent.

Ave decided to wave to all the Christmas trees as we went by.

Avery definitely enjoyed the Pumpkin Patch more this year.  I can't wait to post pictures of Ave all dressed up for Halloween!
