Elodie and Willow | The Letter B

title6

Autumn is by far my favourite season and it always has been, however, in the past we’ve never really been a family to celebrate Halloween (apart from the odd party and pumpkin carving). Over the last few years, Halloween has grown and grown in the UK and whilst last year I loved looking at all the American girls on Instagram going Pumpkin Picking… this year we had the chance to go right here in England!

Having babies was the perfect excuse to get stupidly excited and also start a new tradition for years to come…

We visited a farm near my sister Alice, where you can pick seasonal fruit and veg all year round. We made it a family day out (sadly Wayne had to be at work!) and dressed up our little ones to take some cute pictures to remember the occasion.

I picked up a selection of Pumpkins, including a white one! Hoping to take a proper picture of them on our new kitchen counters (fingers crossed they’re installed before Halloween!)

We found the cutest double-act costumes for our girls from George@Asda , as Disney fans these were perfect!

Our very own Mike & Sully from Monster’s Inc!

Credit to my amazing brother-in-law that takes these beautiful pictures of the girls, it’s hard work taking pictures of teething babies (especially when Willow can’t sit unaided for anything longer than 2 seconds!) and it was freezing!

On Saturday we were visiting family to celebrate my Mum’s Birthday, they live super close to Audley End Miniature Railway. It’s somewhere we used to visit lots as children, we saw they had a Halloween Special and thought it would be perfect for another family day out. We weren’t disappointed! Whilst the babies couldn’t make the most of it, their little cousins loved it and there are plenty of other activities such as swings and bouncy castles for them (not babies!) to enjoy.
