Holly's 1st Birthday

The Birthday Girl!

We went to "Icing on the Cupcake" with a few friends for Holly's first birthday party. Holly got to pick out her very own special cupcake.


The anticipation was big......

but the delicious cupcake was the best!!!!

Later that evening, we came home for some birthday dinner of tacos with Holly's Mimi and Pa, and RahRah and Papa. After dinner, she put on her birthday girl crown and had ,yes, another cupcake!!!

It was finally time to open presents! Holly got a "Little Mermaid" ride on toy from RahRah and Papa. She was excited to hop on to try it out, and her brothers were even more excited to push her around the house.

She also got her very own suitcase from Mimi and Pa for her to take on our Hawaiian vacation planned for February next year.

Tate's tooth

Tate was so thrilled to have wiggled out his loose tooth. This is his third tooth to fall out, but this one is much more noticeable since the previous two were on the bottom. He put it into his tooth fairy pillow and was rewarded with 3 dollars, since it was his 3rd lost tooth. He was so excited to show everyone at school the next day!

Happy Halloween

We carved pumpkins at Mimi's house, but this year it was raining so it became an indoor activity. I helped Tate carve his pumpkin because after feeling how sticky an slimy the pulp, he wasn't too interested in carving much more. Tate was so excited to have a skeleton on his, while Carson directed Mimi to make his pumpkin a kitty face.

Holly just was happy to be part of the fun day with her brothers!

Carson showed Holly his finished pumpkin, but watched her with a close eye so that she wouldn't tip his pumpkin down onto the floor.

Halloween night we went trick-or treating with our neighbors. Our group was 5 little boys and Holly. This was Holly's first Halloween!!! She liked her pink kitty costume, but didn't wear the hood part for very long.

Tate was Iron Man, Carson was Spider man, and Holly a kitty. The boys loved trick-or-treating so much this year! We went up and down 3 streets in our neighborhood. The boys love candy and realized quickly that it is very fun to knock on door after door to keep collecting more!!!
