Fall Full of Fun!

Our Fall so far has been very busy and a lot of fun!

A couple weekends ago we had family photos taken out with the beautiful fall colors. I was so excited for this because we have never had nice professional family photos done. The best we've had up till now were a few family shots at our wedding and thanks the late night of prep before the big day Chloe was super tired and scowling in every picture! Needless to say I really wanted a good family portrait! Our friend Dawn has a friend who does all their photos and does a beautiful job so we headed out with them. The weather was perfect and I can't wait to get all the photos back! May even get holiday cards out this year! Here are a couple shots the photographer showed us as a preview before she does all the editing:

While our friends family got their pics taken I took a few quick shots with my iPhone (which takes surprising good photos! Especially when combined with Instagram!) and was happy with the results:

Last weekend we hosted our annual Halloween Party! We all had such a blast! I love having this tradition and look forward to the years of Halloween parties ahead of us. Phil and I dressed up as Batman & Catwoman, Alishea was a scary puppet doll, Abrianna was a black cat and Chloe was a pink sparkly devil :)

This week for Family Home Evening we carved our pumpkins and they all turned out great!

We also celebrated Chloe's 7th birthday this past weekend! Can't believe how big she's getting! Chloe helped me look at some cake ideas and decided on a Hello Kitty cake:

For Halloween last night we visited Phil's cousin Heather, her hubby Mike (who's one of Phil's best friends) and their three girls. As soon as we arrived and the girls saw I'd dressed up in my Harry Potter garb they asked me to come trick or treating. Loving Halloween I agreed knowing how silly it was at 30 years old but apparently no one cares because I got a ton of candy! Haha awesome Halloween!

Other than birthdays and holiday fun our other big project this month has been our living room. Phil has been working hard doing new light fixtures (including all the electrical wiring involved in adding sconces!), and getting the walls painted. I've been picking out rugs and throw pillows and curtains! (you know, the fun part!) and our living room is well on its way to looking amazing!

Happy Fall Everyone! Hope you're having as much fun as we have!
