Happy Halloween!

Last night was a great night for Trick or Treating. The weather was perfect, not too cold and because of the change of day light savings, it was not dark until almost 7pm. Sherilyn, Jay, Mckenna and my mom came over to go trick or treating with us. Mateya dressed up as a Vampire, Jaidyn was a Spanish Flamenco dancer and Holton a lion. Cyril and Jay handed out candy while the rest of us went out. Holton and Mckenna were unsure of the whole thing at first but quickly caught on. Mckenna was even pushing Mateya and Jaidyn aside so everyone could see her. It was so cute to see the little duck and lion as people put candy in their buckets just because! We took them out for about an hour then Cyril took Mateya and Jaidyn out and Sherilyn, Jay, Mom and Mckenna headed home. We had a really fun night and got tons of candy. The girls each got about half a pillowcase. Happy Halloween!!!

Pumpkin Carving!

We carved our pumpkins on Saturday. The girls had fun being able to do most of it on their own. Holton didn't want to touch the slimey pumpkin guts but had fun seeing them all lit up and of course he thought throwing the baby pumpkins was the best part. Crazy little boy! Jaidyn with gooey hands

Happy Birthday Cyril!

Tuesday was Cyril's birthday. The kids and I got him an IPod which he was wanting and my mom babysat (thanks mom!) so we could go for dinner. I surprised him and took him to the Wildfire Grill at Flames Central so we could have a nice dinner and watch the hockey game. He was very surprised. The food was yummy and the game was great...we won 5-1 over the Nashville Predators.
Happy Birthday to my amazing husband and best friend!!
