Happy Birthday, Aunt Tina

This is Aunt Tina, whose birthday was Saturday. Saturday evening was the night she was babysitting her niece and nephew, and they had a small celebration for her.

Nora is way into birthdays and can tell you that her birthday will be December 11, that she will be 3, and that she wants Snow White on her cake. She was excited to put candles on Aunt Tina's cake.

A year ago she would have nothing to do with cake, but she tasted Aunt Tina's, because, after all, she's way into birthdays and that's what you do.

Yesterday Steph and I went to the mall to get Halloween pictures taken. Aaron was a cow.

and Nora was a cowgirl.

Those are the official picture costumes that Mom chose. For today's school party Nora was a butterfly, her choice. Aaron starts "school" on Thursday so he missed the festivities there.

Last night Nora and I went to a Halloween story evening at the library, where the kids wore pajamas. Here she is with pajamas and back pack, getting ready to go to the library and then spend the night at Gran B's. Don't miss the pink cowboy boots.

Aunt Sarah could have told her the advantage of having cool footwear as part of a Halloween costume, mainly that you end up with cool footwear. Here are Aunt Sarah's Vans that were part of her demon costume.
