The rollercoaster that is our life: Pumpkin picking!!

This morning we all got ready and headed out to Vertuccio Farms to pick out Alexia's first pumpkin for Halloween. This was the perfect place for her first pumpkin outing. We got there nice and early so there wasn't a whole lot of people around yet so we were able to mosey around and look at all the animals and fun things they have there, without Lexi getting too overwhelmed. Granted Lexi was a little too young to do a lot of the stuff, but it was fun watching her stare and wave to all the animals. I can't wait til next year when she can experience more of what they have to offer for the kids. We picked out a few pumpkins. 1 big one, a medium sized one, and 3 little bitty pumpkins. It sure will be interesting to carve them. I can't remember the last time I carved and decorated a pumpkin!! It was so fun being able to spend this time with my family and I realized that from here on out we will get to participate in all the holidays. Before Alexia we just breezed through the holidays without doing anything special. I am so excited to start decorating and going all out for the big holidays. Halloween will be Lexi's first real holiday and I have already got her an adorable little lady bug costume and I can't wait to see her in it.
