We are Thankful!

Thanksgiving was spent this year at my in laws house and then to my dads house. It worked out well. My in laws ate early so by the time we got out to my dad's house we were ready for round two. My mom decided to have her Thanksgiving on Sunday which made it really nice for everyone. It was so nice not to be rushing from house to house. We were able to take our time and spend some quality time with one another. We are thankful and blessed everyday. We are healthy and most of all happy! We are thankful for God's love and our family and friends. We are also thankful for the roof over our head and our jobs. There is so much to be thankful for I could go on and on! Happy Thanksgiving everyone! Gobble Gobble

Olivia Party

I decided to have an Olivia themed party for my daughter's 2nd birthday. She has loved Olivia for a long time now so I thought it would be the perfect party. I bought the decorations off Etsy and some off of celebration express. I really was happy with how it all turned out. A girlfriend of mine made the amazing cookies and cake. The banners, signs, and water bottle labels were all purchased off Etsy; as well as her shirt. I did a little candy bar for the kids with all red and pink candy. I found some Olivia stickers on Ebay to put on the bottom of kisses. Olivia was everywhere! Sophia had a great time. She didn't quite get how to pull the sting on the pinata but the bigger kids had no problem breaking it open! All in all it was a great party with fantastic family and friends!

Halloween

We had so much fun this Halloween. Sophia really enjoyed herself. It was a little bit of a battle putting on her costume but in the end she gave in! There was supposed to be antenna in her hair but that was not going to happen. We were the bee family. Mike's shirt said honey bee and my shirt said queen bee. She was a little shy and nervous about going up to people's houses and saying tick or treat. We went trick or treating in my sisters neighborhood. There really was not too many kids out this year. Which was a good thing because we got handfuls of candy from each house!

pumpkin patch

This year we went to Tanaka Farms in Irvine to pick pumpkins. We went with my sister's family. We had a great time. It was the perfect place to take some fall photos! Sophia loved it. She really is enjoying this time of year. It is a lot of fun to see her grow and love the fall as much as I do!
