We made a trip back to Michigan for my cousin Val's wedding a couple of weeks ago and while we were home we were also able to get in some good family time.
The happy couple (sorry its so far away)
Grandpa C assumed his new role of "horsey" for the evening...
Brookey and Brielle followed suit as "ponies"
The double duos...Brookey and Brielle and Bryce and Peyton
I can never get these 2 to sit still long enough to get a picture
Love Peyton's confused look in this picture...and Brielle is totally no interested
Grandpa and Bryce time
Once again...the little ponies
The two boys on the Grotenhuis side...Bryce and Grant
We couldn't go back to Michigan in October without making a stop at Crane's Orchard. Of course we chose the windiest day to go, but we still had a really good time.
I just had to throw this in. It just cracks me up that Bryce can always fall asleep whenever he has a hat over his eyes.
We also made the trip out to JB's Tree Farm for the 2nd year in a row to get our pumpkins, check out the animals, and play in the corn maze and bales of hay.
No, you are not seeing things...Brielle is actually reaching out to touch a goat! We couldn't believe it either! Hmmm..maybe I should return to the farm with baby chicks and bunnies to see if shes still terrified.
The 2 with their pumpkins
Chad chasing Brielle in the corn maze
Playing around on the hay bales
Our big girl
We have these great Japanese Maple in front of our house and it always turns a beautiful red in the fall, so we wanted to get a pic of the kids in front of it before the color fades. I just love this pic of Bryce in front of it.
Every night after bath time Brielle needs her "princess dress" on. (How she got into princess stuff is beyond me...but just wait...there's more princess stuff to come!)
Of course we had to do a little pumpkin carving this year and this is the finished product (sorry these pics are in reverse order)
Brielle checking the pumpkin guts out...
...and yes, thinking she would like to take a bite out of it

...and yes, thinking she would like to take a bite out of itWe went trick or treating at Penn State's campus once again this year. It was cold and raining so I didn't get many pics. Brielle had a great time this year. She wasn't afraid of the people handing out the candy, but she was definitely freaked out by those dressed up like the character from Scream (can't blame her...I would be too!)
This year was Chad's year to decide the costume. Naturally he chose to have Brielle be a mini Theo Epstein and go as a Chicago Cub!
and we had Bryce go as a little cow
Chad might have been able to choose the costume, but Brielle was still able to add her own special "flare" to the costume...notice the sparkly pink princess shoes?

Bryce wanted to go a little more formal under his costume...you just never know when you might need to wear a tie!
And just a random pic thrown in

Love the gigantic post full of great pictures. I LOVE that Brielle wore the pink shoes with Daddy's costume pick.
If we would have let Clare pick her costume this year, she would have been cardboard. No joke!
Loving the pictures! So cute...looks like you've had a busy fall already :)
So cute! Love Brielle's sense of style!!
