Halloween parade

This is the costume parade at the big birthday party. So cute!

Birthday month

October is a birthday month at our house. Presley and Teag both have birthdays this month. Throw that in with the bazillion other things that are going on in our lives right now, and that leaves me no time or desire to blog about it, or anything for that matter. So here is our sweet Presley getting her one of her birthday presents.

Ariel's bathtub fountain boat. Sweetness!

Then that night we had a cake and ice cream party to celebrate this sweet girl turning six. Things about Presley: she just started kindergarten and is doing awesome. She flipped a switch in her brain as soon as school started and can now read. She is sweet, shy, happy, loves to dance, loves to play school (with many papers, markers, scissors and books all over her bed), loves to play with her siblings and friends. We love having her in our family.
Hello Kitty cake was the request for this year. I have to say that I just got in from a trip the day that I had to make the cake or I would have put a lot more effort into it but she loved it so no worries I guess.

We decided to do a combined birthday/halloween party for Teag and Presley this year in between both of their birthdays. So that is just what we did. And let me tell you, we did not disappoint. There were about 30 kids there and it was a riot. It actually went pretty well considering the amount of kids we shuffled around.
This is the birthday girl and birthday boy getting ready to get sung to and blow out candles. Very exciting I guess!
Opening presents. This was actually the craziest part of the night. Both kids are ripping them open so fast and every kid is huddling around them. I couldn't even tell what was going on.
Everyone wants to see the goods.
It was such a fun party. My kids loved it and it was fun having everyone dress up. We even did a costume parade where the kids were supposed to dance. It was comical to see the 3-9 year old kids trying to walk down the stairs and dance. I will have to post that video. So today is actually Teag's real birthday. So we will have a cake and ice cream party tonight for him. So I guess I will post about that by December. But don't get your hopes up!
