Halloween 2013

We had such a fun Halloween!  Thankfully I was all healthy by that afternoon (had another nasty bout of mastitis earlier in the week), so we could all enjoy the fun together.

We met up with our playgroup friends for pictures in the park before heading out the the Mission Hills neighborhood for some trick or treating. By some coincidence all the kids had red costumes.  Not planned at all, but it sure made for some cute pictures.

I wasn't sure how Abby would take to the whole trick-or-treating thing.  I mostly expected her to not like it too much since she seemed very unsure of the trunk-or-treat we went to the previous weekend. But she surprised us both by really enjoying herself. She still would rather not have anyone put anything in her basket, but she loved going up to each house.  When all her friends were tired and leaving, Abby wanted to keep going.  And when we finally told her it was time to go, she cried the whole way to the car. The fun kept going at home where she spent quite a long time putting the candy in and out of her basket, before we made her go to bed.

 And here is one last cute picture of Abby in her daytime Halloween outfit.  What a cutie!

Visit from grandparents

We had a visit from my parents recently but never got some pictures up.  Wanted to post some, mostly for my parents to see.

We had a super fun day with them, spending the morning at the beach and then hanging out at our place for the afternoon.

We took them to a newly discovered portion of our favorite beach.  Abby had a blast, she'd probably be happy if we took her to the beach every single day.  It was great because she got to be as crazy and have as much fun as she wanted, while grandma and grandpa could watch and still relax.

Fun with the chair. :)

We took a nice long walk in the afternoon, showing them another new find of ours.  We wore Celestia out a bit, but it was still a fun time.

Thanks for visiting!!
