BOO!

Happy Halloween from the Princess and the Pea

Snackin' on the loot.
Cutest little peapod.

Don't forget the "Black-eyed Peas"

(notice Bennett's shirt, you couldn't see the P's on mine in this picture. Many people came up to me and asked if I had been punched....then they noticed the shirt. Hahaha) And just for the record, Avarie and Cam won BEST COSTUME DUO at our church trunk-or-treat party. Boo-ya.

And Bennett says that everyone needs to brush their teeth after all those sweets to avoid being his patient in the future ;)

Oh, hello.

I could SERIOUSLY smother this cuteness. Please don't grow up, Cameron. Be my teeny sweetness forever :)

2 Birthday Girls

October is such a fun month :) The beginning of Fall, beautiful weather, Halloween and baked goodies...oh, and 2 birthdays in our family. For Avarie's special day we started out by going to IHOP for breakfast. She loved it and was such a good girl. Later that night we had our family party with cheese pizza (Avarie's fave) and cupcakes with icecream. Watching her open her presents was awesome. She has the best reactions. She exclaimed, "Oh my! Oh my goodness!" for every present.
For my 27th birthday, I started the day with an appointment at the dental school for Bennett to finish my crown. Hooray! It actually wasn't too bad and he did a GREAT job. Then I went to the park in the afternoon with the tootles to enjoy the gorgeous weather...followed by the tradition of Red Robin - YUMMMMMMM (I couldn't resist). Then we came home for cake and presents. I must say, I was very spoiled. Bennett is so good to me and got all the presents on his own! We had our birthday date this past weekend and went to Texas Roadhouse (another fave) and saw the new "Footloose" movie. I love birthdays, holidays, and pretty much any reason to celebrate! And just because they are so darn cute...

Sleeping Beauty

Only REAL princesses sleep in their heels.

Party Girl

Today we had Avarie's "friend" party. I originally wasn't going to do any party for her birthday, but I couldn't resist. So we had a few little ones meet us at McDonald's for Happy Meals and cupcakes. It turned out perfect...and required very little effort :) Tomorrow is her actual birthday, so there will be another post about that in the future. For now enjoy a few pictures of my favorite little girl and some of her buddies.
Sweetest little 2-year-old I know :)

Waiting for friends to arrive...
Opening presents...
Admiring her generous gifts :)

Thank you to those that were able to make it! We enjoyed having you there to celebrate :)

The Diva and The Mooner

Oh Miss Avarie. A few days ago she pranced out of my room wearing these. She went about her business as if she wore heels all the time. Like mother like daughter, I guess. Her little leggies just kill me.

And then there is this little man. He decided to give me a peeky peek of his backside while crawling around. Just after I took the picture the entire diaper came sliding off. He continued to crawl around half nakey, giggling, as if nothing was wrong. Look at that face...isn't he just the cutest?!
