Revisiting Halloween
Oh how we celebrated Halloween this year... many, many times and many, many places! Here are some highlights.
First up, we have Fall Fair at church
Next we have Trunk or Treat at church sponsored by my Mom's group. I love the picture of Blake with the smaller little girls (Claire and Sadie) who thought she was so beautiful as a ballerina princess.
Here is Blake admiring herself in the mirror the first time she got all dressed up in her costume with the make-up and everything. She had so much fun with it, but we created a monster over that week of her getting into costume so many times. She is now more obsessed than ever with wearing a dress every day and asking me constantly if she can wear my make-up.
Blake's school party (it was also pajama day)
These are from Boo at the Zoo at the Ft. Worth Zoo. We went with Ami and Pappa and had lots of fun. The pumpkin carvings of the animals are so cool.
Finally, actual Halloween day. Blake enjoyed passing out candy more than anything else and as you can see from the picture of her holding her nose, she didn't enjoy the smell of the pumpkin being carved. We think Emma enjoyed Halloween, but mostly I think she just wondered why we kept dressing her up like a dog all week.
Even Paris had a costume. Here she is as a princess.
So that's that. Whew!
So then came my 31st birthday November 9th and our trip to Las Vegas. It was AWESOME!!! I love Vegas every time. We stayed at The Venetian the first night and it was so nice. We stayed at Planet Hollywood the next two nights and it was okay too, but no Venetian. I did have a pretty great time there in The Pleasure Pit (a group of blackjack tables where the dealers are all girls in lingerie). They may be catering to men at those tables, but I sure did get lucky there. Chris was pretty lucky on our trip too and won us some tickets to see the show "Stomp Out Loud" which was really great. What a fun trip and as always I can't wait to go back (Jeremy and Tammine we need our Vegas buddies next time so be prepared).
My birthday celebration before we left for Vegas. Blake picked out the cake, candles and my hat. I may be 31, but with a 4-year-old around I can still celebrate like a kid.
Me enjoying our room at the Venetian. All the rooms there are suites and they have a really cool living room area. Plus, all the rooms have 3 tvs (including one in the beautiful bathroom) and remote controlled window shades. Awesome!!!
A couple of cute pics of Emma bundled up for the first really cold day of the season (she loves her soft jacket) and waking up from a nap. What a cutie!!!
That's about all the catching up I can do for now. I'll save Thanksgiving for tomorrow. I'm ready to move on to Christmas... my favorite time of the year and such a fun time to have little kids.
