Our First Annual Halloween Party

This year we decided to stay in our neighborhood and throw a Halloween party of our own!

As many of you may remember, Kirk and Amy have thrown fabulous Halloween parties each year since moving to Seattle, but with our kids getting a little older we thought it would be nice to let them celebrate here with their friends.

So, we did what any uber creative couple would do: we stole Kirk and Amy's Halloween party idea and copied it to the T 😉

This year our little family went rouge with their costumes.  Initially George wanted us all to be Power Rangers (that would have been so fun!) but Abigail understandably wanted to do something different.

So Abigail went as a Hatchimal, George was Bumblebee, Ben was Elmo, Kevin was a Hot Dog (like I said, we copied their party completely), and I went as a Care Bear

A week or two before Halloween the kids and I passed invitations out to the neighbors, and that evening we had a nice sized group of kids and adults ready to party!  We ate hot dogs, danced, had the bouncy house and a bonfire going, and when it got dark, we went trick or treating as a group.

















It was so much fun and we can't wait to throw another party next year!

We hope you all had wonderful Halloween celebrations.

Happy Halloween!!

20 week ultrasound

Yesterday Kevin and I went to our 20 week ultrasound.  Everything looked great and the two questions still lingering in my mind were confirmed. 1) Yes, it's a boy! 2) Nope, I'm not having twins  :) I've heard it a million times: with each pregnancy you pop a little sooner, but when I was in maternity pants at 12 weeks, I thought surely there must be two in there... Here are some pictures, if you'd like to see. During George's 20 week ultrasound Kevin admitted he'd almost fallen asleep, so I will admit: I had a hard time staying awake this time  :) But we did get to see him in 4D ultrasound which we've never done before, so that was really cool. So fun! After our appointment we went to breakfast at Salish Lodge and took my first Month of Bumps picture. (cue shrills of excitement from everyone eager to see belly pics for the next 4 months!) Before taking the picture I (lovingly) assured Kevin that yes, we would be taking...

Merry Christmas!

May your day be Merry and Bright!

A Suburban NYE

We partied hard with neighbors for New Year's Eve this year, and it was perfect - no need to dress up, tackle crowds, or spend big bucks - add to that great friends who are also neighbors, and it's a win/win.
