Pierced!

Lydia has been asking for earrings now for awhile, so when we went to the mall the other day we had them done. It was amazing how good she was. She sat perfectly still. She really wanted those earrings! Also, she is perfect to let me clean them and never touches them. A true girly girl!

Halloween Party

This year to pass the day on Halloween we had a party. We had family over for chili, homemade doughnuts, carmeled apples, and other tasty treats. Everyone came in costume, and after we ate we had a pumpkin carving contest.

Here is the "Pirates of the Carribean" crew. My favorite was Jana's tattoo on her neck. Nice touch.


And here we have Snow White and her Knight in shining armor. This is the first time that I can remember Jordan in a costume. I loved it!


I haven't dressed for Halloween for quite awhile, but I did sport this witches hat. Abe wore his costume for about 5 minutes. Sigh. Oh well I'm sure next year he will love Halloween.


Here is Savannah as the Little Mermaid & Grandpa Malan as the "Great Pumpkin" (what a sport he was to wear the provided costume :) ).


And Paige (Snow White) and Lydia (Belle) with Grandpa.


Dan sported the M&M costume. He was great to have a party when he wasn't feeling tops. Strep throat will do that to you.


Paige loved that Jenna (my soon to be sister in-law) was Snow White too.

Here's all the kids together, sadly this was the best shot. Well this is a true picture of how life really is.

These two can often be found bickering (to say the least), but they do love each other.

Jenna carved a mean pumpkin!


This year Savannah carved her own pumpkin by herself. She did a great job! I was truly amazed! We had a vote for the winning pumpkins and Savannah and Paige tied for the win (imagine that :)). Savvy truly deserved it for her bat pumpkin.


Even Ms. Hailey showed up for the event. She looked a little spooky with her wig and make-up. Here she is carving a green pumpkin.


Here Dan is carving a pumpkin for Little Paige.


This picture obviously has nothing to do with Halloween. I just like it. The other day at the dinner table Abe just fell asleep with his face in Dan's hand. It was so cute I started snapping photos. I just love the peace of looking at a sleeping baby
