Halloween 2011

Hello, Halloween! A kid's favorite night of the year, nothing nutritious, tons of candy. When asked what the girls would dress as this year, I replied that it changes daily for Laurie (we have lots to choose from) and wasn't sure we could talk Anna Fair into it. In the end, Laurie chose to wear the ladybug costume Bebe bought for Anna Fair. It's only 2 sizes to small. And Anna Fair agreed to don the tutu, also from Bebe. Love Anna Fair's chubby legs under that frilly tutu, makes me want to nibble on them.















Posing with our super cool pumpkin. Laurie was quite adamant that he is frowning.














Trick or treating. Hello candy.














Saw some favorite friends and cousins at the neighborhood party.






























The candy covered aftermath.















With our own trick or treating and parties, we only managed to be home for 1 guest, but we loaded the sweet girl down!

Starting Halloween off with a block party

Fall Festivities

There were lots of fall festivities to be had this weekend and we had them all. Make balloon animals? We'll take 2. Space jumps, our favorite. Horses, check. Candy, trick or treat. Face painting, you know it. Carnival games, do I get candy for it? And friends and pumpkin carving galore.

Halloween is tomorrow and we are prepared. Costumes are yet to be determined.


























































Visiting Aunt Alice.














The pig races were a big hit with Laurie.














Anna Fair's lady bug. In case you couldn't tell.





















Watching The Great Pumpkin, Anna Fair wouldn't sit still for it.















Pumpkin Carving with Daddy.















Someone is a chicken and took off when Daddy started the tiny jigsaw.

These 2 should come with warning labels.

Wake at your own risk.

Not a morning person.

Does she like her new baby doll? I think so.

Enjoying having 2 strollers & Anna Fair has her own doll now.  Do you think she's hot in those pjs?

Anna Fair Turns Two - Part 3

When you have as much wonderful family as we do, it's a built in party every time we get together.














Fun tattoos.








































































Singing happy birthday and loving cupcakes.





























Sweet hugs from fam.











































Her gift from Laurie.















She had so much help with her gifts, she backed herself into a corner.

Anna Fair Turns Two - Part 2

A very sleepy eyed Anna Fair enjoying her birthday waffles. She wasn't so sure about the candles, but she ate her waffles anyway.

Anna Fair Turns Two - Part 1

In lieu of a big party, we opted for a play date at Gattitown to celebrate Anna Fair turning two. And if you go on Moms Eat Free day, it's even better. The girl had 2 iced cookies and couldn't be happier!

We Love Fall

Buddy Walk at the Ag Museum

We thought we were headed to the ag museum for the pumpkin patch, but wandered into Buddy Walk for Down Syndrome. Who needs a pumpkin when you've got a jumpy land, face painting and balloons? My girls have got mad jumping skills.
