Kate and Matt hosted another incredible halloween party for Grace's playgroup. All of the kids were so cute in their costumes. This past year, Olivia has learned to love candy, so she got right into the halloween spirit. She went trick or treating for the first time. She found it important to inventory all her candy after each stop, which impeded our progress. She also wanted to eat some candy along the way and I found her biting right through the wrapper of a Crunch bar.
Right after last year's party, Grace went into labor with Lucas, so we celebrated his birthday with the playgroup before trick or treating. What's a little cupcake to go with a basket full of candy?
As a parent, I now realize that Halloween isn't just a day, it's an entire season. Both Olivia and Lucas got a lot of mileage out of their costumes this year. I wonder what they'll be next year???
On Sunday, September 27th, we completed the weekend birthday party hat trick at Colby Dang's 1st birthday party. June and Johnny invited us to their club for the special occasion. Their oldest, Riley, is very close in age to Olivia. Olivia really enjoyed the puppet show. Although there was a lot of encouragement for Colby to pick the money during his "Dol" ceremony, he chose the thread, which signifies long life. Happy Birthday, Colby!
Mari and Steven hosted the BMC mommies group for a BBQ at their house on Memorial Day. The kids are all growing up fast and are really fun to watch playing together. Steven went all out with the food and everyone brought over something special. Highlights included Steven's cajun shrimp and chicken and his cole slaw, all of which had quite a bit of heat (nice grill, btw). The dads took the toddlers out to the drive way to blow off some steam. They must have done at least 10 laps of going up and down the driveway. Very amusing. It was fun to get together and we should all do it again soon.
