Visit to Grandma Bs

I actually have no pictures of our trip to Illinois. It was very uneventful (which is good) but lots of fun. We all got to visit with Aunt Becky, Aunt Sues and Aunt Jane. The girls spent a day with Aunt Jane, Brittany and Olivia shopping, baking and having lots of fun while I took mom to lunch and Christmas shopping. We also got to watch Brittany #10 in a basketball scrimage. It is hard to believe that my "baby" niece is a freshman in high school. And of course, we got to eat taco pizza at Happy Joes and had lunch at Roy's Taco House which is always a must. We are hoping to have family visitors to our house in 2009(hint-hint). Our next visit to Illinois will be our usual summer week in July.

Happy Halloween

The girls had great fun celebrating Halloween this year. We all carved pumpkins together and saved the seeds which we roasted with a little salt and olive oil. We all loved them! Taylor enjoyed a costume parade and party at school while Emma & Ella had a Johnny Appleseed party at school. Taylor and Emma dressed up for trick or treating while Ella decided to be herself and stay home to pass out candy with daddy. She had no interest in dressing up and going door to door . We thought there is no reason to push her into it...she is definitley old enough to make her own decision on something like this.

Happy Birthday to Mommy!

This is the girls "rock" version of Happy Birthday! Don't mind Ella...with no pants on. She rarely wears them when at home so I am very used to it. I had to laugh when I noticed she didn't have any on in the video. They also decorated a very yummy cake for me!
