Last weekend, we celebrated Audrey's 5th birthday at Swim America with family and friends. It was a Hello Kitty themed super, splash swim party in November! So much fun!!

trick-or-treat

For Halloween this year, our big girl was a beautiful, "dancing princess" and our little girl was a precious, Minnie Mouse!

Papa and Nani stopped by to see the girls

all ready to trick-or-treat!

Madison would get her treat at the door, say "thank you", and then come running down the walkway and to the next house yelling, "more teet(treat), more teet!" she had a blast!

Audrey, once again, was up in front of the group almost the entire time. She had so much fun with all of her friends!!

pumpkins

This year we didn't make it to Hillcrest to get our pumpkins, instead we went to the pumpkin patch on First and Nees. They had a wide selection of pumpkins and even a couple of rides for the girls. Audrey had already gotten her pumpkin when we went with her preschool class on a field trip, so Madison just had to find one.

Daddy and Sissy, Audrey too

hands up! hands up on the roller coaster!!
Audrey wouldn't even get close

the perfect pumpkin

This was Madison's first year carving a pumpkin! 

She was a little worried that we were cutting off the top, and she said that the guts inside were "icky".
