Autumn turned 2 in November.  She got to open presents at home in the morning, at work with Alicia, and at a restaurant after dinner.

At home she opened a present from me.  I gave her a ball and a puzzle.  See her birthday shirt? 

     

This is Autumn reading her card from me.

 

 

Tear it open!

       

At work she got coloring books, necklaces, and a baby Cinderella doll.

Look at this cool gift wrapping bag Alicia used.

 

We had mermaid cupcakes at work too.  She got to share them with ProDPI.  Since we weren’t living in our new house yet Jackie made her special birthday cupcakes!

For her birthday dinner we went to a restaurant called Casa Bonita.  It’s an adventure of a place, but the food wasn’t good at all!  There were cliff divers, singing gorillas, games to play and other strange things that you don’t usually see in a restaurant.  They did have yummy sopapillas!

   

Kameron, Leslie, Jackie, and us kids went to play games after we ate.  Skee ball can be a very dangerous game when you give hard balls to the babies.  They were throwing them all over the place.  It’s a good thing we had 3 lanes next to each other.  We had lots of fun and got lots of tickets too!

   

Then it was present time again.

       

Grandpa bought us all toys that light up.  Some people call it “Baby Crack”

                   

See how happy we were playing with these!

For Halloween we went over to Ryland’s house.  After dinner we put on our costumes again and got out our flashlights from Grandma and off we went.  Well, sort of, first Mom, Caitlin, and Uncle Jeffrey had to take lots of pictures.

Notice Autumn wouldn’t put on her costume again!  You can see her diaper through her tights!

All three of us-do we ever all look at the camera at the same time?  NEVER!

Here we go!  Next year, Mom and Caitlin say we aren’t bringing the wagon.

This lady was kind of scary!

Daddy’s job was to pull the wagon and hold our coats.

Look at all the loot in Ry’s bucket!

When we got home those silly parents tried to take a pictures of all 3 of us again.

 

This year for Halloween we put on our costumes at work and took treats to the workers.  Mom made marshmallow ghost bags, oreo spiders complete with hand drawn spider webs on the outside of the bag, and rice krispy treat pumpkins.  We walked around and gave everyone at work a treat.

Ryland was a train conductor, Autumn was a princess, and I was Snow White.  Grandma made the girl costumes, but Autumn wouldn’t put all the parts of hers on.

Fabrice was tricky.  We gave him a treat and he gave us a candy and our treats back!

Nick was balancing that big board of pictures when we gave him his treat.

Autumn carried her box of treats all around the lab.  She would put it down, get out the treat, give it to the person, and then pick up her box again.

Ryland decided he was done wearing his costume!
