Halloween 2012

Well, another great Halloween is in the books! Brynn already was asking when she can go trick-or-treating again. Next Wednesday sounded good to her. Today started out with a pajama party at preschool. When I picked her up they were eating popcorn and watching a movie. I brought her to my office for a little trick-or-treating there. After supper we headed out with Papa Kevin and Grandma Holly to trick-or-treat in our neighborhood. She didn't last really long, as she got chilled a little while into it. She still had so much fun, though, running from house to house. It was hard to keep up with her this year!

We passed out candy to 47 trick-or-treaters. I think she had at least as much fun passing out candy as she did trick-or-treating herself. Her (previous) daycare lady, Nancy, even stopped by with a special Halloween gift for her. What an awesome surprise.

Happy Halloween everyone!

With one of the preschool staff in her teddy pj's for pajama day.

As you may remember, she did allow me an impromptu "Annual Halloween Preview Photo Shoot," however it was the wrong costume! That was Cinderella, and as you can see, she is actually Strawberry Shortcake. While the weather was still somewhat nicer out, I had BEGGED her to let me redo the photos in her actual costume, but to no avail. I could take them on Halloween she said. So, we did. And here they are. :-)







Rodney's house! Rodney is this lady's dog. They always take him for his daily walk right past our house.
So, Brynn waned to make sure to stop by to see him for Halloween.







Waiting for trick-or-treaters.

More treats! "Mmmm, it's so good!"

Grandma and Grandpa!

Halloween 2025

Happy Halloween! We did trick-or-treating at my office again and celebrated National Cat Day a couple of days late. Unicorn making magic happen! The kids and Freddy. We got a little bit of a late start around 7:30. We went to a neighborhood near the high school where several of Clara's friends live. We stopped at Micah's house to say hi and another schoolmate happened to be over as well. We got to visiting too long and by the time we headed back out, some houses either had run out of candy (including Micah's, where they went through 600 pieces his mom said) or were already done for the night. But, we still got around to several. It had just gotten done raining and the wind was cold, so I didn't care to be out too long myself. Clara asked to have another post-Halloween party this year and Brynn planned and executed the whole thing. One of our fav parts was the missing children posters which were all the guests. Green Army Man, Clara Barton, Luna Lovegood (from Harry Pott...

Christmas 2025/New Years 2026

Christmas gift wrapping shenanigans: Keeping Brynn company while she wraps all of our Christmas gifts. Brynn and I couldn't help but peek at the 150 Famous Poems book we gave to Clara. So many good ones. Getting into the holiday spirit at Courts Plus. Ha! Christmas eve brunch. Clara's gingerbread house contest strategy notes. Contestants were allowed 20 minutes to shop for their houses at Wal-mart. We left ourselves little time to get ready for the 3:00 Christmas eve service at our church. But, we made it and thankfully didn't have to sit in the overflow area in the chapel! It was a beautiful service. We had bit more time in between church and when we planned to leave for Tessa's, so I mixed up my eggnog and we got the car packed. Tessa's family hosted Christmas eve at their lake home. We had a great mix of people to play a game of Mind the Gap. Getting cookies ready for Santa. Clara got Dana and me up around 7:30 and we watched her open her stocking. I think Dana a...

Clara's 11th Birthday

Clara celebrated her 11th birthday with a disco themed party with her friends and musical party with family. Happy birthday, Clara Rae! We love you! Brynn baked and decorated Clara's family party cake while Clara decorated the cupcakes she and I baked for her friend party. Dana and Clara turned the back garage into a discotheque and Clara made up a playlist for Dana to use when he was DJing.   I made her birthday baked oats the morning of her birthday. Brynn did an incredible job on the cake! After her own party, Clara was off to another one for her friend Elizabeth.  On Sunday Clara wanted to go to The Olive Garden for her birthday dinner out. They gave her a whole container of mints just for her. Ha.
