Halloween & Mama's Birthday!

Wow are we so blessed to have a friend who takes amazing photographs! We got a chance to capture some of our family moments and a ton of Grace at this amazingly adorable stage of life. Here are a couple of our favorites of our family and Grace. There were seriously dozens that I could have posted, but I tried to limit myself. hehe

 

We got an e-mail this week from Grace's friend Fletcher's mom saying that they were carving a giant pumpkin to stick Fletch in and that we were more then welcome to bring Grace over.... of course we said YES! Who wouldn't want to stick their kid in a pumpkin? We took a lot of screaming pictures to get these two amazing ones, but we had a really great time laughing with friends.

Officially  Halloween. Grace went as a bumble bee and Mommy went as a "mama bee keeper" and Daddy went as a "daddy bee keeper" We went to Park West Village which is a shopping plaza by our house. Each of the stores had candy for trick or treating. It was perfect for Grace because we got to go into each store and warm up! Uncle Taylor was able to come with us and so were some of our friends!

 

It was also Mama's birthday this week. The big 27!!! We continued our family tradition of bagels with egg and cheese in the morning on the "you are special today" plate and putting up our Christmas tree in the afternoon! Grace says "woah, woah, woah" We also put out a little fisher price nativity scene. Grace loves to play with all the little characters. Her favorite thing to do is hold the pieces over the edge of the table, say "uh oh" and then drop them. I think she gets the concept of the uh oh now! We just need to work on that uh oh comes AFTER something drops, not before. hehe

 

Sweet Grace,
Uncle Taylor got the best birthday gift for Mommy ever! A whole wall of Grace! We have been looking for something to put on the wall behind the couch and I love, love, love it! Sweet girl you are starting to move so fast! You can now walk all over the place. You have gotten up a couple times by yourself in the middle of the room, but you are still much more comfortable with pulling up. I just find you amazing.
All my love
xoxo
Mommy & Daddy
