Addie's Birthday Dinner Party

 For Addie's birthday she wanted all her family to come over for special time together. She was very excited to be hosting a "dinner party." Addie requested pizza, blueberries, and brownies for dessert all her favs!

 As soon as her guest arrived she wanted to open her gifts, she had been waiting all day and couldn't wait any longer!

Barbie clothes for her new Barbies

She was also excited about the books Grandma and Papa got her.

But her favorite gift from her grandparents was her pillow pet!

 I wish I would have video her reaction it was priceless.

Krisy Kremes

We decorated Addie's bedroom door for her birthday. And than we waited, and waited, and waited for her to wake up so we could wish her a Happy Birthday and head out for a special breakfast.

Ella our Elf on the shelf was hiding under Addie's birthday hat!

We all headed out to Krispy Kreme for a special birthday breakfast.

Thank you Mama Charlene

Mama Charlene little birdie flew all the way from Ventura, Ca to our backyard a couple of weeks ago. Addie loves it! I love it because she spend an hour playing dress up with our new little goose.

Zoo with the grandparents

So I'm really behind on the blog. So you are about to get overloaded with pictures.

My parents arrived into town in mid- November. The first place we took them was the zoo of course!

Trick or treating!

Adelynn and Asher went trick or treating with their best buddies. We hit KiKi's and Do-Dad's neighborhood because they give out the best candy!

All the kiddos before we headed out.

Addie and the twins

After the group hug the big kids took off running to the first house

Asher hung out on Daddy's shoulders at the beginning

 But when he saw the kids got a treat if they walked to the door Asher decided that he needed to join the fun. Notice he's walking on the grass! All the big kids walked on the sidewalk but he thought it slowed them down.

 

We hit one block and the kids were done! Great night and we got tons of candy!

Addie's school Halloween party

At Adelynn's school they don't get to dress up until pre-K but they are encouraged to wear halloween themed clothes and they got to have a party.

She put A LOT of candy on her cookie

After the party. I read a story to the class and than Addie's teacher and the class did circle time so we could see what they did each day.

Trunk or Treat

Last Sunday our church held Trunk or Treat. Before we headed out I tried to get some pictures of the kiddos in their costumes.

The best picture of the 2 together. 

Addie is Olivia the Pig, one of her favorite characters.

Asher the pirate. This costume was a hand me down from our friend B. Asher loved it! How do I know?!?!? He wouldn't take the hat off and he never keeps hats on.

Addie singing the theme song to Olivia....

Asher and his token "CHEEEEESE" smile

Addie rode the ponies...Asher wasn't ready

The first car was a princess' dream! Aurora and Prince Charming were there!

Do-Dad and his boy! Asher was in his stroller very happy, but then he saw Do-Dad and wanted OUT!

Petting Zoo

 Asher was okay riding the ponies with Do-Dad

More cars to visit- This was about 4 cars parked next to each other with the theme Wizard of Oz. Notice Addie is following the yellow brick road- Ha! I loved it!

 It was a great day! We got so much candy I didn't really feel like we needed to go trick or treating on Monday night, but Adelynn and her friends still wanted to go.
