a long-awaited day

Ever since my oldest saw the first leaf hint at the thought of changing color, she has talked every time we play outside (which is often!) about how she wanted to rake a huge pile of leaves and jump in like we did last year. I told her that when the tree you see a bit of in the first picture below turned mostly yellow, that would mean there would be enough leaves on the ground to make a pile. Well, last weekend I realized the tree had finally turned mostly yellow and there were more than enough leaves on the driveway to make a pile, so Monday was the Big Day! :) Thankfully the weather was beautiful on Monday since the rest of the week has been cloudy and rainy!




Sooo excited and ready to jump in! The baby was excited too but had just woken up from his nap and wasn't quite ready to smile yet.... :)






1...2...3...JUMP!!!

The experience was everything they were hoping it would be!

This is a picture we have taken every year...and this year the baby got to join the girls up in the tree. As you can see, our tree has a face and the girls have named him Melvin. :)
