Oh yea... the rest of October. The rest of the month was pretty much madness. With Garrison and Riley-Anne both having birthdays in the month of October and football season in full swing I guess it will always be like that! Speaking of football season, we are in the playoffs! YAY! But pics from recent games will have to wait, as usual, I have helpers at my feet doing what they do best... make NOISE!
Back on subject, since Garrison and Riley-Anne's birthdays are in the same month we decided to have their parties together. Ryan gave me a lot of grief about this, but in the end I think we would both agree the party turned out great! Garrison actually was very excited about having his party with Riley-Anne. From the very beginning him and Ri have had a special bond, so I hope when Riley-Anne is old enough to realize she shared her first birthday party with her brother she wont mind either!
For obvious reasons the party was Halloween themed. Well, a "not so scary" Halloween themed party! I will let the pics from the party do most the talking...
The party table. All of the food had themed "names". The menu included: Costume cupcakes, Creepy crawly cheese and crackers, Halloween Chili, with and without bones (beans), Frightful French onion dip, Frankenstein fruit kabobs and Cackling corn bread.
Trying to sneak some treats!
Note to self: Never plan a birthday party during nap time :)
I wish I had a close up of the table. The "pooky" (spooky) trees as Garrison called them were branches from our back yard that I spray painted black. We hung pics of the babies from the year on the "branches" of the trees. I always love looking back at how much they have grown- even though it hurts a little bit! We also had a smaller "tree" on the other side of the room for guest to write Riley-Anne a birthday wish. They were all so sweet and I'm sure they will be very special to her.
More party pics...
Garrison has been wanting a "Beard and Mustache" party all year... so this was the best idea Pinterest I could come up with ;)
Next big party in the house will be Crystal's shower! Maybe we should sport our 'staches?!?!
Cake time! Well cupcake time!
Riley-Anne was not at all impressed by her cup cake. Pretty sure its because she has had icing before. Thats what happens when you have a third, you give in to things that were once BIG No Nos!
The birthday girl!
Thanks to everyone who came to the "not so scary" Halloween birthday party! We had a blast and I think the babies did too ;)
