Giants Day at School

Halloween was Giants Day at Jessica's school in celebration of the team's World Series win. Jamison got in on the fun too by wearing her Giants shirt to school.


Jessica gets a soccer trophy

Here is Jessica with the soccer trophy she got at the end of her soccer season.


The Girls go Trick-or-Treating at the Zoo

The weekend before Halloween, we took the girls Trick-or-Treating at the zoo.  They always have fun with the animals, real or not.




The animals seemed especially cute this trip.





The girls and I had a chance to ride the train.


The best part of the day was trick or treating though.



some photos of Jamison at school

Jamison loves going to school. The other day, she had a picnic with some of her school friends in the nest.



She always seems very focused at school.



Jessica plays basketball

Jessica loves to play basketball. She has the defense pose down.


Sisters love to play Elefun

Jessica and Jamison love to play Elefun together.

Carving Pumpkins

The Sunday before Halloween, we decided to carve our pumpkins.  Jessica actually scooped a little bit of her pumpkin this year (emphasis on a little bit).



Jamison was interested in what her big sister was doing and decided to try too.


Here are the girls and our dogs posing with our carved pumpkins.  We had an animal theme this year (although it is a bit hard to tell).  Jim did a cat, Jessica did a pig with my help, and then I did a mermaid for Jamison.



Jamison's Halloween Dress

The week of Halloween, Jamison wore a special Halloween dress to school.  Before heading out, however, she let her Dad take some photos of her.



Hallloween Parade at Jessica's School

The Friday before Halloween, Jessica's school had a school wide Halloween parade. All of the kids got dressed up in their costume and paraded around school.  Here is Jessica with her friends Isabella and Olivia before the parade.



Here is a photo of Jessica walking down to the parade with some of her friends.


The parade was pretty crazy and it was hard to get photos.  So, here is a photo of her walking back from the parade.


After the parade, Jessica's kindergarten class posed for a class picture.


Once school was over, Jessica took more photos with her friends Isabella and Olivia.



October Disneyland Trip - Day 3

On the third day at Disneyland, the girls wore their Ariel dresses.  Everyone was a bit tired at this point, so strollers it was for both girls.



It was a Magic Morning at California Adventure, so we decided to go to Cars Land.  



We even had a chance to take a quick family photo.




October Disneyland Trip - Day Two

For our second day at Disneyland, the girls wore their matching Halloween dresses. They attracted quite a bit of attention as we posed for photos with Goofy.



We decided to start the day with a Luau Breakfast with Mickey, Stitch, and friends.


Jamison was just so excited to see Stitch in person.




She also was thrilled to see Mickey.



And, she gave him a kiss on his nose.



The girls basically loved all of the characters.




After breakfast, we headed over to California Adventure.


Here's a photo of Jamison just looking cute.


The girls and I had another good time on the Ariel carousel.



Mimi and Jessica took a photo in Cars Land.


The girls wanted to take a photo with the pumpkins.


We headed back to the hotel for a quick break and headed to a dinner in Downtown Disney. I think Jamison enjoyed herself.




Later that night, we took a family photo in front of the pumpkin at Disneyland.


October Disneyland Trip - Mickey's Halloween Party

The first night we were at Disneyland was Mickey's Halloween Party.  Jessica dressed up as Merida.


Jamison dressed up as Ariel.


Why is it so hard to get a good picture of the girls together?  This was the best we could do.


It was a late night trick-or-treating in Disneyland.  The girls headed back a bit early with their grandparents.  When Jim and I got back to the hotel, this is how we found them.


And, this is the candy stash we collected.
