Halloween 2013

Trunk or Treat!

This year, because Charlotte was already walking a bit (ok, A LOT)
we took her to the Trunk or Treat night at our church.
We didn't want her to miss out on all the fun
because she goes to bed a bit early for the neighborhood Trick or Treating.
 
 

She had tons of fun and figured out pretty quick what the deal was with her treat bag and the candy!


Is this candy?

Where to guys?

What IS this strange ritual??

Ohhhh, I see!

Candy goes in here!


And then this goes in my mouth.

Let's gooooo!


And then out again.


Is this candy?


 


My Little Pumpkin

A Video Look at Last October....

Last October we had a brand new baby girl.
Looking back at the video, I can't believe she was this small!!

Here's a little clip from her second month home.

 
We almost had her nursery completely done!   Of course it is Lambie themed with a few Border Collies thrown in.   I couldn't have done it or made it this wonderful without my own   Mommie teaching me each step of the way.   I guess you're always a mom, no matter how old your babies are!  
My favorite part is of Michael rocking her and singing his special song.
She still loves to hear it today!

Fall Farm & Pumpkin Pumpkin Patch

We visited a different Pumpkin Patch this year complete with working farm!

Charlotte had a great time picking out pumpkins!
I think I'll take this one!













Charlotte had so much fun looking at all the animals
AND testing out her new shoes!

Scary Geese! They Hisssssed!
See the Goats
They were sweet
Charlotte with Mommie!
This guy was especially friendly
We even got to pet him!
This silly pig jumped right up to see Charlotte!
He even made piggy noises for her














































Which were too big.

And.....
it helps if Mommy puts them on the correct feet....
(My Parent fail for the day....)

The day was a nice start to fall, even though it was pretty warm for October.

Big Changes in October 2013!

Well, looking back at last year it is pretty obvious that
Charlotte has grown SO MUCH!
One of the big things: WALKING!
Oh dear, what a little tornado she is now!
 
Loving her Standing Toys!

Hey! I'm working on walking!

Halloween 2012

Last year was Charlotte's FIRST Halloween!
She was soo cute in her festive Pumpkin Suit and Halloween Jammies!
This year I'm looking forward to her participating a wee bit more, now that she can walk!
 
 
Our first family trip was to the Pomona Pumpkin Patch!
We're planning on going again this year to get our pumpkins
and maybe have some fun at the Fall Festival.
 
New Family at the Pumpkin Patch

We spent Halloween Night outside with our neighbors,
as has been out tradition since moving in 4 years ago.
Charlotte was having a fussy night....until Felicia got ahold of her!
Felicia and her magic touch!

She's so cute I could just BITE her!!...wait... 



 
We also got to see her first smiles!

After all the festivities, we just lounged about and enjoyed our sugar coma!
