Happy 3rd Birthday, Katie!

Tonight Aunt Sandy, Juli and Livi came over for Katie's birthday dinner with me, Joseph, Katie, and Maddie. Then Grandma came over to sing Happy Birthday and Katie got even more presents!
(Disclaimer: Our dining room is being remodeled, hence the open walls and unfinished floor!)

I think this is her look of shock because she got a "cambra"

Now she's excited!

Halloween - October 31, 2007

This year was the first the Daddy was home for Halloween. We had a great time visiting all of the neighbors while Mom-Mom and Pop handed out candy at our house. Then we headed down to Aunt Sandy and Uncle James' house to see Juli and Livi in their costumes and to sing Happy Birthday to Grandma.

Our little pumpkin
(eating candy already and we hadn't even left the house yet)

Heading out for trick-or-treating

By the time we got there, Livi was already out of her costume
because it was almost bed time

The Cow, The Bunny, and The Pumpkin

Mom, can I take this thing off yet?
(and yes that is candy on her face!)

Livi's Baptism

On Sunday, Olivia was baptized and James and Sandy had a party at their house to celebrate. We had a great time and there was plenty of yummy food and a beautiful cake (thanks to Nonna!). There are some other pics of the day on Livi's site if you want to check them out!
