Amelia's 1st Halloween.

We had a busy and fun weekend here! Amelia's first Halloween and our prenatal class reunion were a success! Friday night we carved pumpkins, roasted seeds, and made caramel apples. Saturday was pretty busy, first up was Music Together Class which was extra fun this week because the little ones were all encouraged to wear their pajamas {Teacher Kiki no longer allows costumes in class on Halloween after several disastrous tries}. After music class we ran some errands then were off to Laurelwood Brewhouse for a reunion with the parents and kiddos from our prenatal education classes at Good Samaritan Hospital {you may remember we had a reunion back in April when the babies were all still pretty newborn}. It was great to catch up with the friends that we made in class and too see how much our little ones have grown up since we last saw one another {sadly a few couples and babies couldn't make it}, we had so much fun in fact that we decided to have another reunion around mid-February for a joined 1st birthday get together. After the reunion we hurried home for a visit with Grammy {my mom} and Amelia got her "Halloween gift" {my family is lovingly crazy when it comes to gifts and cards for every holiday}. Then we spent the night cozied up in the house and watch the FANTASTIC University of Oregon Ducks beat the USC Trojans {like any good Oregonian household we have Duck-frenzy}! Sunday we watched more football {is there anything better than an Autumn day and some football?}, had a visit with Grandpa {my dad}, then went trick or treating at David & Abigail's and Tom & Meegan's. After that we came back home and passed out candy to our 50 or so trick-or-treaters. All in all the holiday was a success and im already thinking ahead to next years costume.

The sweet Nordstrom baby bunting that Grammy gave Amelia. This is going to be so warm and snuggly this winter!

Our trip to visit David & Abigails {Amelias god-parents} was not as bad as this photo indicates. But sometimes photos with crying babies are far funnier than ones with smiling babies.

Our little lion cub with Grandpa right before we left to "trick or treat".
Our pumpkins! One says "boo" and the other says "trick or treat" wth stars, a moon, and bat.
These looked great in person.
At the reunion with Romina {and her mom Judy}, Zeb {and his mom Katie}, & Liliana {aka Lily, and her mom Wendy}. We were missing Harper {she dressed up as a teddy bear} and her moms Ann & Desiree and Andrew {he dressed up as a monkey} and his moms Betsy & Melanie. Everyone looked great!
Love these guys!
Zeb & Lily cracking each other up.
Charming the pants off Daddy. Look at those eyes! They {like Cheyenne's} change color depending on her mood. They have been known to be blue, green, grey, & violet.
My two favorite people winking at me,
With my little lion cub.
These photos without the "whiskers" drawn on are from a practice run that we did last week to see how she would deal with the costume.
