Kiki's 4th Birthday Party...

Kiki had a birthday teaparty on Friday the 7th of November. She was such a princess and so happy to have her friends there. You couldn't buy the happiness she had spread all over her face throughout the party! And Bubbs...in a bowtie no less and feeling very out of place amongst all these dancing girly-girls! Priceless pictures and memories for sure. He spent most of the time either on the sidelines with his hands in his pockets or sitting at the table eating the M&M's. :) I was proud of him- looking like such a little man. And to be honest with you, I'm so glad he wasn't wanting to join in with all the girls and do girly stuff. I would be worried if he was! Boy Scout- well, it was naptime and frankly, I didn't want to deal with him at a tea-party. So he went to bed, end of story for Scout. You can see how he felt about the bowtie in the picture below.
The party started with the girls dancing around to princess music in the living room. I tried to encourage Bubbs to ask the ladies to dance but oh no- he would have none of it! :) K made pb&j sandwhiches and cut them into a flower shape with a cookie cutter- they were so cute- and good too. Something about them being in the shape of a flower made them taste even better. The tea was rainbow sherbet with sprite which was also delicious- yes, I was taste testing things in the back to make sure they were okay for the kids to eat!


All boy- sitting on the sidelines eating while the girls dance.


Isn't Kiki beautiful?





Oh I wish we could have captured the smile she had on her face when she opened up her Belle dress from Gigi! It was priceless! She was elated!

"Real makeups!" as she kept calling them.

Playing "pin the handle on the teapot".

Playing "Princess Bingo". Bubbs didn't mind the M&M's.


Putting on LOTS of "real makeups!"

Kardee Shoo was exhausted from all the partying!

And don't you love the dishwasher after the teaparty?


Little Miss E Baby Blessing...

My honey blessed Little Miss E on Sunday, November 2nd. It was a special day because we had family here and we blessed her in our own home. That was not initially in the plan but when you don't pay attention to the ward calendar saying that Sunday is Stake Conference, you have to improvise! It was a very intimate, small circle but very nice. And so nice to do it in our own home. Gigi bought Miss E her blessing dress...it was long and beautiful, just like I always wanted. Can you tell I was fully enjoying putting my little girl in her blessing dress? A real thrill for me!











Don't you love her little bracelet? Such a lady!







The Little Misses Photo Shoot...

Gigi bought K and Miss E matching jammies at Babies R Us so we HAD to get a photo shoot of our little princesses. Aren't they cute?


Bubbs makes K laugh!

Don't you love her little finger on her lips?

Halloween!!!

Okay so it was either get these on "out-of-order" or don't get them on at all. :) The pics are in order if you start from the bottom of this post and go up.

Our Halloween this year was great! Bubbs had a party for pre-school on the 30th at the park (the pics are at the bottom of this post). We had Gigi and Papi and H come into town on the 30th for Halloween and for Little Miss E's blessing on the 2nd of November. Gigi and Papi dressed up for B&K's ward party as the sixties hippies. They looked great together! I introduced them as "B's parents".

Bubbs was Batman, Boy Scout was Superman, Kiki was WonderWoman, Kal was CatWoman, Kar was a bumblebee and Little Miss E was a Ladybug. It was great times and the kids loved getting candy. They loved handing out the candy more though. They'll switch when they're older! We handed out candy on Halloween night in our driveway. Papi went outside to sit and hand it out while we got things ready inside. I went out to find him in his costume sitting there with his arms folded...and no kids coming up to get candy from him. They were going to the neighbors, but not to our house. Imagine big old Papi with his arms folded and that wig on. I can't imagine why no one would come up for candy! :)

Klor made her famous Clam Chowder and mom made homemade bread and we had a big feast on our driveway while the kids handed out candy and we had music blaring from the car. Afterwards we went inside and took pictures of everyone trying on the wigs! Great night!


Peace, man!

Kal likes those two soft pillows to rest her head on.

This is all Boy Scout wanted to do all night- watch Casper the Friendly Ghost. We couldn't even get him out to go trick-or-treating. He wanted to watch his movie- and so he did!




Little Miss E is wearing my knee-highs for her black tights!
