Chili Cook-Off!

Today we went to a small little town called Leiper's Fork. Every year in October they hold the Leiper's Fork Chili Cook-Off. We went last year, and it was so much fun! Bobby was counting down the days until the event this year! It was definitely a cold afternoon, so chili was the perfect way to keep warm. We went out there with Branden and Lauri O'Neil and their gang, and had a great time trying to keep up with all our kids while keeping them warm but not spilling any chili on anyone! (Especially the babies since they were being held by Lauri and I!- I think Finn and Lucas came home with a little chili on their hats! hehe)

Right before we left, Branden took a few family pictures for us. Unfortunately we were WAY past Ava's naptime, so she was not such a happy little 2 yr old..hence why there aren't quite as many pics of her today as there are Lucas! I did catch some breathtaking pics of Lucas' eyes. They shine such a brilliant blue that I almost get emotional just looking at them knowing in my heart that they are a gift from Victoria :) Love you Vic!
