Halloween 2013

The Cox family had a wonderful, yet busy Halloween! 

We started out the holiday with a festival at Camille's school. The kids had so much fun "truck or treating" and showing off their costumes to their friends and teachers. 


Instead of the annual Halloween costume parade at her school, they decided to change it to "What I Want to Be When I Grow Up." Camille always tells us that she wants to be either a teacher (like her Mimi) or a singer. She liked the singer outfit better, so here is our little singer showing off her skills. 


Here is the class all dressed up as what they want to be when they grow up, though as you can see a lot just wanted to wear their Halloween costumes :)


On Halloween, we kept up with the tradition of Trick or Treating the Trails at White Deer Park. Camille and Madelyn (opps, I mean Tink and Doc) had a blast filling their bags with candy. 

 
And here is our little Tinkerbell showing off a bit more.



We managed to make it to a few houses in the neighborhood before Camille decided she rather hand out candy at our house. She loved running to the door every time the bell rang and she especially liked getting to pick the candy to put in each child's basket. 


Camille is already planning out what she wants to dress up as next year...... though I'm sure her mind will change one hundred times between now and then!

October Happenings

We've had quite the busy October. It included some pumpkin patch fun with Mary, Nick's birthday celebration, a trip to Atlanta to visit with our family, and of course pumpkin painting at Meredith College!

We tried a new pumpkin patch this year... Naylor Farms in Fuquay Varina. We kept the tradition of going with our good friends Matt, Megan, & Mary. It sure seemed like it was in the middle of nowhere, but they had plenty of entertainment and it wasn't crowded.... double bonus! The girls enjoyed riding in the barrels, playing in the corn, and going on a hayride to pick out their pumpkins. The farm even had some cute animals to look at too!


















We had a short and sweet trip to Atlanta too. Abe, Christy, and the kids moved down there this summer and have settled into their new home, job, and school. We had a great time visiting and best of all, Camille was the perfect passenger for the 6+ hour car ride each way! Maybe we'll brave that again in 2014. The kids had so much fun together and us parents even got a night to ourselves too!






We also got to participate in the annual pumpkin paining at Meredith College, which Camille always enjoys! Future board member? Maybe so!
