Trunk or Treat!

We all dressed up this year for our ward's Trunk or Treat.   I'm a queen or princess and Grace is a pretty witch and Joy is a princess and BethAnne is an Egyptian Princess.

 

 

This year I got Mark a knight costume so he could be my knight in shining armor and I could be his princess/queen.  It was very fun.  With Joy in the picture, we're a little royal family.  Happy Halloween!

Happy Birthday Joy!

Joy turned 3 at the end of September and we had two celebrations.  On her actual birthday, we made a cake from a few donuts and put some candles on top.  Then we opened presents.  This is a magical age because they're really starting to figure things out.  She really loved her birthday.  The only mistake I made was to put out the presents in the morning and then I had to find ways to stay out of the house all day because if we were home she cried about wanting to open presents.

 

Sweet, funny BethAnne!

 

We had a family birthday party for Joy a couple days later at Grandma and Grandpa's house.  We made a special cake with a special cake topper.  Joy got some fun presents and it was a great time.

 

 

Pretty Grace!

Joy got some fun blocks from Nana and Papa.  She loves to stack them way up high.
So that's it for this post.  Have a great weekend!

Kid Comedy- Joy

This morning when we woke up, I suggested to Joy that she should try to go potty on her froggy potty (we have a little toddler potty because she's terrified of normal potties).  But at my suggestion, Joy just looked at me and emphatically said in her 3-year-old voice-  "NO! It's too dangerous!" 
Potty training Joy may take awhile... :)  Have a great week!

Joy Dress-up Fun!

Joy's been having fun dressing up lately.  Sorry about the picture quality on the fairy/nurse/cowgirl ones, my iphone doesn't take good pictures at night.  It was so fun to see Lisa and her kids this weekend, we had a great time.  Baby Josh is so adorable, I wish we could see you all much more often.  Have a great week!
