Halloween 2013

Our first Trick-or-Treating in our new house is complete.  Feels strange that we are practically done celebrating Halloween and the actual date isn't even until Thursday.  Michaela was Sleeping Beauty and Avery went as one of the good fairies, Flora.  My Mom made both costumes for us again...man, is she talented! The girls had a great time celebrating at the zoo on Saturday and then taking a short trip around the neighborhood on Sunday.  It was so nice to have a lot of trick-or-treaters because in our old house we barely got any!  It was a great weekend!

Birthday Parties

Avery's first birthday was back in February, right after we moved.  We had a fun small party with family and friends

Such a giver, feeding mommy some cake

Michaela turned 4 in September and we hosted an Art party to celebrate.  The party was a big success.  The kids had a great time playing and painting their canvases.  My Mom made every kid an art smock to take home with their canvas.  It was such a nice touch to the party.
