We are working on being a gracious looser….. 
Could I BE any shorter? 
We won despite the severe difference in height. 
Regan how'd you get all wet? "Squishy did it!"
Well that was too much fun!
Jon and I have dressed up for Halloween every year since we met. Well except the year I was on bed rest with Regan. It's safe to say this a tradition for our family. This is the first year we have ever done any sort of themed costumes. It's been so fun that I am already planning next years group costume. It started with Regan's Batman obsession. I decided if he was going as Batman then I would go as Wonder Woman. Finding a flesh covering WW costume was not hard at all! No really, it was easy.
When my costume arrived the children asked all sorts of questions about WW. So I pulled up the t.v. show for them to watch. Kaylee and Regan are now hooked on WW. Kaylee decided after watching episode one that she no longer wated to be Aroura for Halloween. She NEEDED to be WW. Finding a flesh covering costume for her proved impossible. So I made her costume.
Regan chose the old school Batman look so Jon went with the newer look. So the kids are wearing the more traditional outfits, and the adults are wearing the newest versions of these caractors,
I didn't realize until the next day that Regan didn't have his utility belt on. Sad. It was burried in the dress up box…
We had so much fun. The children are counting down the day until they get to do the door to door candy collecting.
Jon was way too excited when the rest of my gifts arrived. So you get photos of me Au natural.
Meanwhile, MORE gifts?! Hello. Did he forget that he got me a Cameo? Not that I am complaining. Just pointing out how very spoiled I am feeling. In a good way. I really don't mind at all when the hubby spoils me.
Then he took me out to dinner which basically means I didn't cook for four days. Thursday, B-day dinner. Friday FSA girls night out. Saturday conference/party day. Freezer meal for Sunday. BEST.WEEKEND.EVER!
Shannon had this great idea to make conference baskets for all the kiddos. We love how they turned out. AND the kids LOVED them.
The girls got primmed and pampered (in the same room that had the t.v. for conference listening.) for family photos, and the boys "watched" conference. To be fair this was one 10 min sleepy spell. Also i must say EXCELLENT talks!
We got some cute photos of all the kids and families. Well really just a couple good ones of Regan. It was windy, and he was I thought suffering with allergies. He spiked a fever later that night.
Little man was snotty and miserable. The rest of us look great in this photo though.
This however is by far my absolute favorite photo of the day. Cutest photo bomber ever. And Kaylee and Regan's reactions crack me up!
My sweet niece Sarah is exactly 21 years younger than me. I love sharing a birthday with her. Every year I know that I will at the very least remember her birthday (17 nieces and nephews). She requested a pug pinata. Her favorite color is pink, so I made her a pink pug pinata.
And the money shot.
Birthday + Conference = perfect weekend.
