It's a Spooky, Fun, Birthday, Busy Week!

Like the title says this week was...well busy. Not just because of work and the long hours put in but because we had places to be almost everyday. The week started out with a celebration of Kaitlyn's 11th birthday. Lilly was so excited, we "trained" her to say Happy Birthday and she hasn't stopped saying it. In her words, "It's KK Birthday? It's PawPaw's Birthday?" Yes Lilly!!! She must have said it about 20 times in one night. So maybe it was a back fire in teaching her that. 

To celebrate we went out to a Thai restaurant (Kaitlyn's choice). It was the first time Robert and I had tried Thai food. It was surprisingly good. Not my first choice for us and Lilly but it was a great experience and celebration for my sweet niece and my daddy (who's birthday is Halloween).

On Halloween we went over Aunt Stacey's and Uncle Danny's house to trick or treat. Lilly participated a lot more this year. There were some moments that were quite entertaining too. 

Here is the gang before going trick or treating. We realized pretty quickly that Lilly didn't like people with masks.  We have a pretty butterfly (Lilly), Moses (Robert), Batman (Uncle Danny), Zombie Punk Rocker (Kaitlyn), Witch (Memaw), Old Miner (PawPaw). That's one spooky and diverse group.

We started out pretty strong walking to each house and saying "Trick or Treat." We forgot to say thank you a bunch but mommy and daddy were there to remind her. 

After a while we started playing a little game. The game involves walking up to the house, getting some candy, getting into the stroller to be pushed about 15 feet to the next house, then getting out of the stroller to get more candy, repeat about 30 times. Let's just say that got pretty old. And to make it even better the princess butterfly was being pushed my the super batman.It made for a great photo.

At one point in the night Lilly received plastic vampire teeth. She quickly told the man "I don't want that" and as she is shaking her head no she handed them back to him.

Wow even the Birthday boy was scared of the Zombie Punk Rocker. Spooooooky!

Given it was All Hallow's Eve I decided not to edit this picture. Lilly looks at little spooky here.

This was a fun picture from this Saturday. Aunt Stacey gave Lilly Kailtyn's old swing set and Robert and my dad finished putting it together. Lilly LOVES her new swing! I love seeing the genuine joy on our sweet girl's face.

After a crazy busy week at work and with all the outings Robert and I got to relax last night and watch a Mavs game from my company's suite at the AAC. We had a great time and the best thing about it was the tickets were FREE. Big thanks to T and Unc for watching our sweet girl.

 One last photo of the sweet Butterfly, Lilly!
