Halloween

We attended our church's Fall Festival again this year, and what a fun night we all had.

Princess Cinderella

Little Indian Girl
(with blond hair!)

Lexy invited one of her friends from school to join us. She and Shami were inseparable all night. They were holding hands everywhere they went!! So cute.

Two sassy teenagers-in-the-making.
"ENOUGH pictures already, MOM."


"Trunk or Treating"
Buckets so full of candy, they had to carry them with two hands!

Face Paiting fun

Pumpkins!

All family members age 3+ particitpated in the pumpkin carving this year....
(Those under the age of 3 were napping.)

Trying to capture the same pose as last year.....
(not nearly the same results due to two squirmy girls!)

Pumpkin Patch

Wearing matching sundresses appropriate for the typical 97 degree fall day in southern California, we headed to the local Pumpkin Patch for some Kodak moments. Taking into account the aforementioned temperature, I should have known better.

Needless to say, the great shots were FEW and far between. Neither of the girls were too into the picture snapping. How could I blame them? We were all hot and bothered.

Here are the the best of the bunch....

All was not lost, I suppose....
We did pick out three prize pumpkins--- One for Mommy & Daddy, One for Lexy, and One for Tori, per Lexy's designation--- and will be carving them for Halloween.

Our little Monkey

"Enough pictures already MOM!"

It's not every day you see a Monkey using binoculars....

Ok, now let's have a tea party. :)

Pumpkin carving and Halloween

The customary pumpkin carving shots...





We went to our church's "Trunk-or-Treat" Fall Festival for Halloween and Lexy enjoyed walking around with Daddy. And she liked the candy too. :)

Curious George & The Man in the Yellow Hat
Inspired by her favorite show that we watch every day

I got wrapped up in doing my "trunk-or-treat" responsibilities and neglected to take any close-up shots of Lexy in her monkey costume, ...HOWEVER....she liked the costume so much I don't think I'll have any trouble getting her to put it on again for a photo session.... Stay tunned. :)
