Halloween and beyond

As Halloween crept up on us, we had to make the big family decision--to trick or treat or not to trick or treat. Josh and I have decided for now to not take our children trick or treating. We have concerns about the safety of it and would rather our kids be at the church harvest festival than running around the neighborhood with the gaggle of "interesting" children who came by our house this year. haha. So for now, no trick or treating for the Keever kids. Thankfully Wyatt is too young to really care and Reagan isn't even here yet.

Anyway, once we made our decision we had to decide what to do with Wyatt instead of romping around the neighborhood to collect candy that we'd never let him eat...we wound up settling on the church fall festival. We met our good friends, the Sinclairs, there and our little ones had such a blast. They had plenty of candy and treats...and Wyatt had his first go-round in a bounce house. I'm fairly certain that he was in heaven all night! Daddy even gave him his own carton of popcorn. Wyatt was dressed as a cowboy and his friend, Paige, was Nemo...they were just precious!







After Halloween, we've just been slowly preparing for the upcoming holidays and the arrival of our newest baby. Since I am massively pregnant, we'll be spending all of the holidays here at home. While we'll miss seeing all of our family at Thanksgiving, we're definitely okay with not traveling. I feel like all we've done for the last year is drive around the country! For Thanksgiving I'm going to attempt to make Thanksgiving dinner all by myself. Hopefully I can pull it off...but, if I mess anything up, I'm pretty sure that Wyatt, Josh and Buck won't care in the slightest.

Following Thanksgiving, we'll be getting Christmas decorations up and getting the house cleaned for a long visit from my mom! I can't wait until she gets here! She's going to come and help us take care of Wyatt while I'm in the hospital having the new baby. After mom gets here, Trey and Frank will show up for the week of Christmas. Once they leave, we're expecting my dad and Deborah for about a week...and then Josh's parents will be here towards the end of January. I'm so excited to have all of them here for this special time in our lives! This could be the best Christmas ever!

So, that's the plan...I'll try to keep the blog posted as we continue to prepare!
