Vivi's First Birthday

We had a wonderful time celebrating Vivi's First Birthday!

Here she is "driving" her pink car. She LOVES it and Lilly likes pushing her around it too!

Pumpkin Carving

We didn't pictures of us carving pumpkins this year since Vivi has been miserable with teething over the last week and required being held the whole time. And this was the best we could get of the two of them sitting with our completed pumpkins. Lilly did have fun decorating her pumpkins and admiring our carved pumpkins. We also cooked pumpkin seeds for the first time, they were a big hit!

Kids Creepy Halloween Dinner

We had a Kid Themed Creepy Halloween Dinner with the Rogers the night before Halloween. The kids had zombie carrot fingers, mummy hot dogs dipped in blood, mandarin orange brains on a stick and grape eye balls. Then we made bat cup cakes for dessert. The bat cupcakes are going to be a tradition at our house since the day I met Ryan I was buying supplies for the cupcakes to make with my second grade class.

Vivi enjoyed her first taste of oreo cookies.

Happy Halloween!

We had a happy halloween full of trick or treating and fun with family and friends. Our neighborhood is a big deal on Halloween with usually over a thousand trick or treaters coming to our neighborhood. It is lots of fun! Lilly was REALLY into it this year. She was excited and very prepared!

Sadly poor Vivi who is usually so happy is getting 5 new teeth this week so she was pretty miserable the whole time and constantly drooling. Poor sweet baby did not enjoy Halloween as much as everyone else.

Here we are ready for trick or treating. Our precious princess and darling baby witch.

Vivi enjoying a lollipop, it was the only thing that took her focus on the awful teething pain.

Flashback Friday - Sweet Miss Vivi

One year ago we welcomed darling miss Vivian into our family. She is a lovely little girl and we all adore her. It is hard to believe a year has come and gone so quickly. She is so much bigger now and constantly has new tricks and talents and is very proud when she does something cool.

Heres our little love bug.

And her she was a year ago as a teeny tiny little baby. We LOVE you baby Vivi!

Happy First Birthday Vivian!

Our beautiful and sweet little baby Vivian is ONE today! She is a darling and happy little girl who brings so much joy to our lives. Here are some pictures from her big day!

All smiles!

Enjoying an even more impressive cupcake (and no we did not let her eat the whole thing!)

Pumpkin Patch Pictures

The girls had a great time at the Pumpkin Patch a few weekends ago. They are just such cute and sweet little girls! We had a fun time watching them enjoy the pumpkin patch outing.

Here they are getting ready to go. Lilly would not be convinced to wear a more practical outfit and was determined to wear a tutu. She is "Tutu Lilly!"

Vivi checking out the animals. She isn't quite walking yet but likes to stand holding onto things.

Lilly on her first pony ride. She was thrilled!

Vivi was less thrilled by the pony and clung to Mama.

Clapping (her signature move these days) for the pumpkins.

Sweet miss Vivi, what a cute little face!
