Our first Halloween!

     We had a very fun first Halloween and did lots of fun things to celebrate! On the 30th we went to our friend Malia'a house for a party with her family. I was excited to get B&E dressed in their costumes, again.

Malia wanted to get a picture of all of the kids from the party in costume, that was fun!

The next day we went down to Hunsader Farms for their annual Fall Festival. This was a lot of fun!! I actually went to the festival last year with my good friend Katie. We had a great time but Brian missed out last year because of work. This time around Brian, Brett, and Emma were able to join in on the fun. (Although, technically, Brett and Emma were there last year, en utero.)

Who is having fun?!



And just for fun...look at me and Katie last year.  I sure do look different :)

And to think I was only 24 weeks along here...

     Although we had a busy and fun weekend, Halloween wasn't until Monday. But that didn't stop Things 1&2 from dressing up one last time! 

     We went trick-or-treating around our neighborhood with our little friends Hunter and Leila. We got lots of candy, thanks to Leila (she held the bucket)!!

Hunter the cute little puppy!!

Thing 2 being silly!

Our first family Halloween was a big success and lots of fun. I can't wait for next year!

                                     

FALL starts this week!

Is anyone else excited?? 

The BEST part is...

Pumpkin Spice Lattes!

I have actually only had one pumpkin spice latte since they made their debut a few weeks ago! My co-workers and I just started the South Beach Diet so I have to nix the sugary drinks...but this is only temporary, rest assured :)

There is so much to do during the Fall. Brian and I love to go to different events. (OK - sometimes I have to convince Brian to humor me and join in on the fun, but he always ends up having a great time!)

One of our favorite halloween events is Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween Party! 

I am so excited to take Brett and Emma this year, I think they are going to love it!! We are spending a weekend in Disney in two weeks and this is definitely on the to-do list. 

And we are dressing them up as Thing 1 and Thing 2. Brian is going to be Cat in the Hat and I am still undecided on my costume. We are carrying this theme out through their first birthday party - which matches up to their nursery! So we are getting the most out of the ADORABLE outfits I am putting together for them :) 

All the fun things we do in the Fall are pretty cool...but starting new traditions with Brett and Emma is going to be the most fun of all! I am really looking forward to sharing our favorite things with them. I hope they enjoy them as much as we do!

Happy FALL!!!
