1st Snow Day!

Halloween 2010

I made these cookies for a dessert potluck at work. We had a lot of fun with them. The next day I put a couple in a strawberry/spinach salad for another potluck...hehe. The spooky witch fingers were a hit and tasted yummy!


And now, introducing...

ANGELINA BALLERINA

A JEDI MOM
(the costume was a combination of my robe, mobi wrap [baby carrier], and a lightsaber made from a spice bottle...it was all Kevin)

GOOFYDADDY

MR. BONES

just in time for the Sound of Music's 45th anniversary!

Remember the summer?

Aria's 4!

For Aria's actual b-day we took her out for pizza and ice cream just the 4 of us. We hardly ever go out to eat, so this was special for her.

Our little walker!

Aria "helped" me make her birthday cake for her party...well, she cleaned up the batter!

We had her party at a park with a pavilion and playground. There were about 15 kids. We got them to decorate pinwheels, Aria's G-ma did face painting, we passed out foam bug wings and they played on the playground. It was a lot of fun!

Aunt Jennine made it to the party too!

Instead of gifts we asked people to donate canned foods to a local food pantry. Everyone was so generous! We're excited to drop it off this coming weekend. (Kevin will have to carry it, it's sooo heavy!)

* Somehow Aria's puzzle got put in the basket...I found it today and took it out (Thanks T&J - she loves the kitty!)

Baby Steps

We laugh because he's taking a lot of steps but not going very far. This stage is so fun, he's changing so much daily.

Emmett takes a couple steps!
