Caramel Apples

To bring in the cooler weather of November and kill time waiting for baby Owen to arrive we decided to make Caramel Apples. I don't ever remember making these growing up, most likely because they are gooey, messy and take a bit of time, but boy do they taste awesome.

Our flavor choice = Caramel/Chocolate/M&M

Step 1. Keep Ava from eating all the caramels as she unwraps them

Step 2. Carefully coat the apple with caramel

Step 3. Cool in the refrigerator then coat with a layer of chocolate

Step 4. Have a quick taste test

Step 5. Sprinkle with smashed M&M bits

Halloween Fun

This year Halloween was so much fun even though I was very, very pregnant! We did a lot compared to past years. I love that Ava let me sew her a GHOST costume, and didn't decide to go as a princess/fairy. . .

1.Classic pumpkin carving

2. Ghost Buster Party with the Meekers

3. Sugar Cookies

4. Trunk or Treat

Baby Shower for Owen

My friends Sheri and Cindy threw me a sweet baby shower on October 15, 2011. It's so nice to have people who support and want to help you. They did a terrific job! The food was amazing and the Owen was showered with great gifts. Looking back now I see just how huge I had grown during my last 3 weeks of pregnancy!

Ava had a blast at Owens "birthday party" at least that's what she called it.
