Halloween 2011

Both of my poor kiddos (and husband) ended up being sick this Halloween, but they sure were troopers and we made the most of it and I think everyone had a good time. Here are some pictures of our festivities:

Oliver not wanting his picture taken as usual.

Helping Mommy make halloween cookies.

Cutting out the first one.

Taste test before we iced the pumpkins and bats.

Curious George and his friend the man in the yellow hat.

Mama and baby butterfly.

Excited about his ice cream.

Getting excited about the thought of filling up that bucket with candy.

Love this one!

Trick or Treat!

Our First Family Vacation!

We loaded up last Saturday and flew down to San Diego for a 5 night family vacation. What a fun time we had despite the chilly weather that set in part way through our stay. We rented a lovely beach house at Mission Beach, which was a perfect location. Oliver loved the sand (especially running in and out of the water) even though our time on the beach was short. We spent the first two days at LEGOLAND and Sea World, which was fun and exhausting all at the same time. For some reason Oliver's mouth was really bothering him starting the second day of our trip so he was a bit of a pill because he wasn't eating and therefore cranky and tired. It's a good thing it wasn't sunny and warm the whole trip because I think we would have many more trips to San Diego in our future! Enjoy the photos.
