Celebrating Fall

I love the fact that churches have Fall Festivals! They are such a great alternative for parents and kids. It gives kids the opportunity to play and get candy and it's worry-free for the parents! This year we were lucky enough to be able to go to two. Although Bug was a bit too little to fully enjoy all that the festivals had to offer, he got dressed up in his lion costume and enjoyed some fun fall activities.

On Saturday, October 29th, we went with my mom and brother to their church and enjoyed a festival inside (since it was under 30 degrees and snowing outside). Bug played some games and watched a really fun puppet show.

With Uncle Javi! 

Luke Skywalker/pirate! Best costume there for sure!

 On Monday, October 31st, we opted to not go trick-or-treating. It was cold and by the time it was dark enough it would have been way to late for Bug. We went to our church for the Fall Festival. They had food, games, face painting, music and horses! We enjoyed time with friends and Bug's friends too! He rode a horse for the first time and LOVED it. He giggled the whole time! Then he played with the youth pastor's new dog (Bug loves dogs!) and we came home right on time for bed time! It was a wonderful day!

Bug and Chewbacca!

Great first official Halloween for our little one! Maybe next year we'll try trick-or-treating with him!

The Birthday Party

**Sorry this is so late!**

Bug's birthday party was a success! We had to change locations because the pumpkin farm we were originally planning to go to was under water and we had to make last minute plans and tell everyone. Thankfully everything turned out even better than we planned! Though it was a little bit chilly, Cows-n-Corn had everything we needed and more. They had a tent with tables ready for us, the staff was WONDERFUL and so helpful, and there were animals to pet, hay stacks, hay rides, playgrounds, and the maze (as muddy as it was). Everyone seemed to have had a great time!

The band

Bug loved playing with the cow and the goats! He learned to go down the slide by himself and really enjoyed that! The cake was delicious (thanks to my cousin!) and Bug received some amazing gifts!

The delicious cake!

 We can truly say that we have been incredibly blessed with wonderful friends and family.

 HAPPY BIRTHDAY SWEET BOY!
