EEEEKKK!!! 2013 is zipping by and I need to play some catch up. The end of October and all of November just flew by us!
Kenny took her first dance class during October Fall Break!
So cute in her leotard and tights!
Kenny the princess and Cade the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle. He was also a fireman for another party... darn kid couldn't make up his mind this year! The TMNT costume is actually Uncle Thomas' one from YEARS ago!
Our GIANT pumpkin! Yes, it survived til Thanksgiving actually!
Pumpkin was heavier than our two kiddos combined! Impressive, huh! I told G he needs to have a pumpkin patch next year.
Garrett and I celebrated our 7th wedding anniversary with a dinner at Mama's Fish House! YUM!
We flew to Oahu the week before Thanksgiving to celebrate Sydney's birthday... but made sure to meet up with our old roommates from college!
Did we tell you Aunty Lisa also surprised Gammy!? Yep yep, we pulled off a surprise visit!
While we were on Oahu, we had the kids blessed at a special Japanese temple for their Shichigosan (7-5-3) celebration. Shichigosan is a traditional blessing for ages 7, 5, 3 because in the past, before modern medicine, babies didn't live long enough to often celebrate these birthdays. So, this special blessing was offered to help watch over them. As you can see, Cade needed some convicing: he wasn't the happiest camper that morning.
Then he warmed up and smiled for us! Don't they look so adorable!
Hanging out with Hoku, Marianne, Shawn, and Joy for Syd's party! Our snowboarding buddies!
The next generation of friends! :)
