Trick or Treat!!!

Trick or Treating this year was beyond fun! Both Eric and Sara are at such a fun age for stuff like this! You could hear the excitement in Eric's voice say, "Trick Or Treat!" from the other side of the block! He was beyond excited and it couldn't have been more fun to watch!

Not to mention Sara Bean! This year she was old enough to walk all the way around the block and that's just what she did! Not a single house was missed! And it showed by the weight of their buckets!

Towards the end of the night all you could hear Cookie Monster's little voice say was, "Heavy! Heavy!" as her little arms carried her bucket! That didn't stop this Cookie Monster though! We'd carry it from house to house, and the second it was time to get some more candy, she'd take it back and waddle with it all the way up to stand next to Eric as he rang the next doorbell! It was beyond cute!

With Eric dressed up as a Fireman, for his love for Firetrucks, and Sara dressed up as Cookie Monster, for her love for cookies, we got our candy buckets and began to head around the block! But not before....

Grampa came out with some surprise glasses on!!! Neither Eric nor Sara could keep their eyes off of him! They thought he looked so silly!!! As they did Mimi in her witch hat!

As we were taking pictures, they loved seeing Trick or Treater come and take some candy they put out for them!

But enough of this watching!!! It was time to head out and fill our own buckets with candy!!!

Time to take that bucket and flip it over! Or if you prefer, lay every piece out perfectly! :)





And the only thing left to do...DIG IN!!! Which I might say, we all did a very good job at!!!







No wonder they say, Happy Halloween! Before, during, and after, that's just what Eric and Sara were...Happy!

Happy Halloween!!!

Sara and her friendly Ghost share another Halloween together!

So amazing seeing each year next to one another. They simply grow up way too fast! Especially since I remember taking the first photo like it was yesterday. If I could slow it down, I would. The only thing I feel we can do, is cherish every moment...and that we certainly do!

Best Friends!!!

Happy 60th Birthday Dad/Grandpa!!!

60 slices of cheese, 60 crackers, 60 peanut M&M's (prior to someone sneaking some!) 60 placed veggies, 60 everything! Why you ask...because we were celebrating Grandpa's 60th birthday!!!

On October 27th we all got together to simply spend time together and celebrate!!! (It was a day after his actual birthday since Grandma and Grandpa went on a little get away for his birthday. Which I might add, made for some very sneaky doings on Grandmas part to plan some of his gifts since he was with her at all times! We shared lots and lots of secret phone calls! Hahaha!)

With Eric's birthday being just around the corner, we decided to buy the same bounce house we know he loves oh so much from the Bruno's house!

We also figured, why not try it out a little early! These four couldn't have been happier with that decision! And I think it's safe to say, Sara, Tyler and Lauren now share the same love for this bounce house as Eric does!

The Birthday Boy!!! ...and his crazy family!

I caught these two being absolutely adorable together! Making a little tea time table, being such little girls! With a quick hello from Tyler!

Story time with Grandpa!

Cake Time!

The idea was thrown out there to make 60 cupcakes as well, however, a much better idea of writing out the number 60 won the toss up! Hahaha!!!

Happy Birthday To You! Happy Birthday To You! Happy Birthday Dear Dad/Grandpa! Happy Birthday To You!!!!

Make a wish!!!

It's Present Time!!!

Grandpa loves getting gifts! And he loved each and every one he opened! From hand painted bird houses, to a song written and preformed by Lauren and Auntie Lisa, to a golf club and telescope!

He also loved opening all of his cards! Yet, he was a wee bit confused as to why they said, Happy Anniversary, Happy 4th Birthday, and even a political card. We thought it would help a little, since admitting he was turning 60 wasn't his most favorite thing to do! Hahaha!

Dad, it sounds a bit, ok, maybe a lot, cheesy, but I'd just like to thank you for being you! You walk through our front door and I have an instant feel of comfort come over me! I love everything about you, and all that you are to me! Happy 60th Birthday Dad!!! WE LOVE YOU SO MUCH!!!
