Part 2 - The Party

Haven had such a fun time at her party! The staff at The Little Gym did a great job - I cant say enough good things about how great they were.

We came in and Haven welcomed her friends to her party. Then the kids got to have a bit of free play.

Then the staff led the kids in some fun activities - most of them center around the Party Girl.



Next it was time to eat

And have some cake

And finally open some presents.


Haven said a big Thank You to everyone who came!
I regret that I didnt get any pics of Haven looking at the camera before the party but here is one of her while she modeled her rain boots and umbrella she got from Auntie Katie & fam.
Happy Birthday Pretty Girl!

Havens Birthday Day - Part 1

The birthday Princess started her day with her most favorite drink - Hot Chocolate Milk (as she calls it) from Starbucks.

Of course Brother got some too!
Then after lunch we opened some presents from Aunt Erin/Uncle Jim and Grammy/Grand Dad as well as cards from Justus and Mommy/Daddy.









After nap time we headed to The Little Gym for a little birthday celebration with our friends & family. More on that to come :)

Happy Birthday Haven

Today Haven turns 4! Woooo hooooo!!!!! Yay!!!!!!

Haven is such a light in my life - so full of animation and love. She is our precious Princess!

On Tuesday she got to celebrate her birthday at school. We brought chocolate cupcakes with pink frosting :) Unfortunately I didnt get a picture.

But here is a picture of her in her birthday crown and birthday certificate.

Havens trip to the Pumpkin Patch

Havens class took a field trip to the pumpkin patch. We got to try a new patch since our beloved Cobb Ranch isnt doing one this year.

The school picked Single Palm Pumpkin Patch. And I have to say, I was pleasently surprised. Nevermind the fact that it was super far away, but it was fun.

They had all the good components of a good patch.

Halloween Story Time:

A Hay ride:
A Hay maze:

A Cornstalk maze:
Pick your own pumpkin:

Fun stuff to play on like a tire swing:

Live animals - in this case huge pigs!
And some cute places for photo opps - including a class photo.

Oops, I forgot!

Here is the finished product to the Pumpkin carving!

The guys did a great job!

Life Group Halloween Party

I was so excited to host our Life Group Halloween Party! I just love parties and we have such a great group of couples and kids.

We started out with cookie cut outs for the kids & a little pumpkin carving

Took a break for dinner. Potato soup, salad & pumpkin bread for dinner followed by Brookes AMAZING peanut butter chocolate chip cookies, yum! The kids had mummy fingers, spiders and apples.


Then it was cookie decorating time!

I think the kids had a blast just playing, especially when it got dark.

Happy Halloween Party!
