Leo, Jane, and Madelyn making Christmas cookies with Aunt Kricki.

Christmas!!

Santa came to the Ken Caryl Ranch House!!

Jane is very excited for Christmas this year. It's the first year she understands what is going on. All she wants for Christmas is a pink box. She waited all day to tell Santa what she wanted but once she got on his lap she couldn't utter a single word. Madelyn was scared to death so Momma had to hold her to keep her safe from Santa.

Madelyn's 1 year pics (@ 15 months) and Jane's 3 year pics (at 3.5 years).

See slideshow for more pictures and place order with Julia.

The McCoy's came to CO for Thanksgiving (or Thanksgivit as Jane says).

Jane helped make stuffing the night before.
Kelly and Barry got engaged while in Colorado and Barry got to indulge in his first Thanksgiving. The traditional pie was skipped for Nami's cream puff dessert - YUM!!

Madelyn's 15-month stats:

Height: 30.75" - 55th percentile
Weight: 19 lbs 12 oz - 10th percentile
Head: 47 cm - 80th percentile

The Main Event: Halloween!!!!

Jane and Madelyn had a ball going from house to house. Cousin Leo joined the fun too!! Nami made costumes again this year. They looked so great!! Jane wanted to be a pink kitty and Jane wanted Madelyn to be Tiger Bitty.

More Indiana...

Second stop: Indiana.

The girls love playing with their cousins. Hunter, Autumn, and Kaylor organized a pre-Halloween trick-or-treat inside their house. Jane and Madelyn put on their costumes and went door to door inside the house. It got Jane super fired-up for the main event to come.
They also went to Brown County State Park with Mamaw to enjoy the fall colors. Jane rode another horse. Patrick and Julia may need to start saving for an expensive hobby :)

More Minnesota...

The McCoys went to the midwest for two weeks. First stop: Minnesota.

Auntie Micki came from CA to see the girls. Everyone enjoyed a nice fall day at the apple orchard. Jane rode "Big Red" as well a barrel ride with Nami and Poppa. They also went on a haunted trolley ride which was supposed to be kid-friendly but Jane said there were "scary guys" on the train.

More pumpkin pics...

It's pumpkin time! The McCoys went to the pumpkin festival by their house.

The girls picked out their pumkins, did arts and crafts, and took a tractor-pulled barrel ride.
