Harvest Festival

One of our favorite fall activities since moving to Texas has been our annual ward chili cook-off and harvest festival. We have come to realize that people down here are serious about their chili recipes! After the dinner, some of our good friends provided live music with some other band members, and we enjoyed an evening of dancing. It is definately true that people in Texas know how to kick back and have a good time. The children especially loved it, and got very into their dancing. We learned that night that Jacey is already a popular girl at the dances, and even had an incident where 2 different kids were arguing over who got to dance with her! Overall, it was such a fun night! Our ward just split, and we belong to a different ward now, but we will always have fun memories of the Coppell 1st ward harvest festival!

Halloween 2006

This year for halloween, if you asked Jacey what she dressed up as, she would say "a real Barbie ballerina". She has no idea that Barbie exists outside of her Nutcracker and Swan Lake movies, but she was thrilled to look like her. We had lots of fun. We took her trick-or-treating to a neighborhood with several members from our ward, and she made quite a load! Earlier in the week we went to one of her good friend's costume party, and went to take the annual pumpkin patch pictures. She really got into it this year, and I'm sure we'll have many more years of princess costumes to come!
