First Haircut

Another milestone today, I have been avoiding it for awhile now, because I am afraid of her losing her curls, but we just did a little trim so we still have them for now. First she got to sit on my lap for my haircut, she was very quiet and shy since it was a new place and she doesn't see Kelli very often. But by the time I was finished she was excited for her turn. She liked wearing the cape and she sat like a champ in the chair with just a little bit of the wiggles. She was pretty proud of herself and mommy was proud of her for handling this new experience so well. Thanks Kelli! :)

Halloween Festivities

We celebrated Halloween two weekends in a row this year. First we got to attend our family's annual fall party/Jaden's b-day party at Keith and Nikki's. Most of us dress up (one of these years I am going to convince Matt to participate :) and it is so fun to see what everyone comes up with. This year we had a whole colony of bees and one of my nephews was a perfectly disguised woman. He definitely won best costume of the night! The evening also includes lots of yummy food and fun games for the kids.

Please, no pictures while I'm eating.


Delani showing Noelle the proper way to bowl with a pumpkin (there were pop bottles lined up in front of them)

Digging in the sawdust for candy and other treasures ... even after all the other kids wandered off, Noelle stuck with it, determined to find anything that might still be buried in there!

Addison had fun with this game too

On Halloween evening we did a little bit of trick-or-treating, visited church for Trunk Treats and ended up at Steve and Karin's for pizza. My camera was malfunctioning that night, so I don't have much for pics, but got a couple at least of my sweet little lion and butterfly. :)
