Halloween 2011

I just LOVE Halloween! Really, it's the costumes. How cute are these guys?! Elijah was the Alien from Toy Story, Jaron was Flash, and Jordan was John Lennon from Sargent Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band. The first pictures here are from our church's Trunk or Treat Party a few days before Halloween.

For the night of Halloween, we had so many family members together! Afterward we went out to eat at Cibus. It was a very fun night! Here are Elijah and Mimi.

Jaron (Flash) and Ava (Rapunzel). I am so glad they got to trick or treat together again! It is becoming a tradition!

Elijah and Hudson

Here we all are! It is so fun to have all our kids together!

Hudson was the cutest little lion. He did not like the mane. :)

All the kids...Jordan was a good ringleader.

Elijah's 2nd Birthday

In October, Jordan turned 11 and Elijah turned 2.

Here he is on his birthday!

He got this very fun "roller coaster" for the back yard.

Mimi got him a "Buzz motorcycle."

And Kimmy and Jim got him this "Evil Dr. Pork Chop Airplane."

Actually, all he really wanted for his birthday was a cake with a Buzz on it. He kept saying that..."cake with Buzz on it."

Getting ice cream the night of his birthday

He had a little birthday party in his class, and I brought some pumpkin muffins for the little guys to enjoy.

It was so fun that Aunt Kimmy got to come for Elijah's birthday weekend!

Well, for Elijah's "Buzz Rocket Ship Party," I had my very talented friend, Sarah Evans, help me with the decorations. Here is a coloring station with rocket ship crayons.

The party was at breakfast time, so here is some of the fun food we had.

These were rocketship stickers to "Pin the Rocket on the Moon."

(Orange Juice)

Milk of course!

"Rocket Fuel" (coffee) for the adults!

These were the really cute party favors- the M&Ms had pictures of Buzz on them!

They could also dig around in the sand. Jordan hid some "space rocks" in the sandbox.

Elijah with some of his friends!

The Buzz cake!

The "big kids" found most of the space rocks.

The best part of a party

Thank you Mimi and Kim! This cake was wonderful!

Happy Birthday Elijah!
