harvest joy festival

we had a super fun afternoon at our church's harvest joy festival.  the kids loaded up on candy from all the trunks, played lots of games, bounced in many inflatables, ate too much junk food, and played with great friends!!!

happy halloween

a banana...yep, she's a banana.  completely her idea.  oh!  lipstick is a must.  last year, she was one of the thousands of elsas.  this year, she was the one and only banana!

hulk...because avengers are awesome.  an avenger who smashes stuff is even more awesome.  plus, it's basically the most perfect costume ever for carter!

now, it's time to go get some candy!!!

we met up with dorothy, the scarecrow, a ninja, and batman (the minion was sick and we were sad).

they don't even need us now except they may not have any idea how to get back home.

checkin' out all the loot!!!

and eatin' it too!

we had another super fun halloween!

cinderella

mimi took the girls to the orpheum to see rodgers and hammerstein's cinderella.

before the show, we ate a yummy dinner at majestic grill.

the girls were super excited to get dressed up and see their first broadway show.

cinderella was so good!

"do i love you because you're beautiful or are you beautiful because i love you?"

thanks mimi for a wonderful night!
