Shelley's Fabulous Bday

We had a chance to spend breakfast with Devan's parents on his mom's birthday this year. It was a beautiful winter morning at La Caille. They even provided a very special candle in honor of this occasion.

Thanksgiving 2010

Thanksgiving is always one of my most favorite holidays. This year, we had a quite morning at home and cooked a mini-dinner ourselves so we would have plenty of leftovers. The three of us even sat at Izzy's table this year. In the afternoon, we headed over to Devan's parents house where my family was also waiting. We had a great time and there was a ton of food. That night, we had out tradition of looking through the ads for our holiday shopping extravaganza the next day. It was a great day.

Alicia's 31st Bday- 2010

Ok- so I know it's been a little while since I blogged and I'm planning to be a lot better this year. The holidays kicked my butt this year (forgive the French) :) and I'm ready for everything to get a little more back to normal. This is my 31st birthday post- with pictures from my family/Ryagr party and when we went out with our other awesome friends- the Clarks. We went to Incredible Pizza for the Fam/Rygar party and it was so fun! It was a great place for all of the kids to play. Devan decorated our kitchen for cake and presents afterward with a scrapbook-style theme- which of course I loved. It was great. My birthday started off the first of 7 November/December birthdays we have this time of year. I know- CRAZY!!! Here are a few of the highlights from this first event.

Halloween 2010

Halloween is definitely one of our most favorite times of the year. The month of October started with Witchfest at Gardner Village with Izzy's Grandma and cousins. We had portraits taken before going on our fun adventure.

Then we had our family Halloween shots taken. Although Izzy "wasn't perfect" during the session, we managed to capture some great moments.

We also had our Rygar Halloween party this month with our friends, the Ryser's. We had a great time playing games and making monsters.

The month ended with Halloween night. We had so much fun taking Izzy on her first real trick-or-treating. She really started to get into it and the most adorable part was when she would sign thank you to our neighbors after she had picked a candy. As you can see, she had a little entourage of 8 people watching her. Later that night, her cousins joined her for some serious candy time and fun.

October was a great month!
