More Family In Town

Kalista is pretty excited that her grandparents are in town

We had big plans to go to the pumpkin patch today but the weather was a little bit depressing and we all decided not to go in the end. We did a bit of grocery shopping instead and spent time together for some good ol fashion family bonding. We ended the evening with a "hot pot" dinner, where you cook at the dinner table in a soup broth. Yum!

Kalista also spent part of today trying on various Halloween costumes. Matt's sister, Kathy, loaned us some of their previous costumes to try out. Kalista fits the pumpkin costume pretty well. So cute! We were also given a daisy costume, but it's a little too big.

Jen is getting close to finishing Kalista's Monster Boo costume. Her fashion design skills are finally coming to good use. She still needs to make the booties and add some final details and then she will be completely done. Take a peek...
