Festive Fall

It was beautiful Sunday and we just had to try and capture the kiddos:

**Tovi's outfit is one of the many kind gifts from our friends the Cummings-makes her a spunky monkey:)

We attended a fall festival with our neighbors and enjoyed seeing the fun costumes. Tovi is very blessed to have such sweet buddies from across the street:

Maddox was a cow...I mean a bull for this event (when Joseph saw all the muscleman costumes, we had to claim Maddox as a bull). You can tell Maddox was super excited.

Happy Halloween! We dressed them alike to celebrate Halloween and pass out candy to the few who ventured out in the cold, cold rain:

**cousin Addison stopped by to hang out and we quite enjoyed the queen's company along with Tia Jessica, Tia Jen-Jen, Grandmamma & Grandaddy:)

Once again, super excited...they really just wanted me to get out of the way so they could watch Sesame Street. Happy Halloween!

And she's TWO:)

Our sweets is two. Fortunately, she really enjoyed her celebration. Unfortunately, I did not capture it well in photos. She was surrounded by her family and by her "ott" & "Jen-ee-fur" and I could tell she felt special.

She (without ever seeing Sesame Street) fell in love with Elmo around the time we moved and so of course I attempted to bring her joy by making a massive Elmo cake. It just kept growing b/c I was afraid there would not be enough:

Here are some highlights from her fun afternoon:

I am bummed that you can not see Ju-Ju, Aunt Jennifer, Scott or Jennifer in the pictures so if you have any cute pictures that could round out my collection, feel free to send some to our email:)

And of course I have to add a few more just-for-fun pictures of Tovi & Maddox:

Here is a picture of Maddox at 7 mo & then one of Tovi at 7 mo. It is just fun to compare:

*please note his totally awesome & totally natural mohawk

Take Two:

I got a few extra pictures and a video of the party and then of course I have two other videos that make me smile:

Perfect gift for Tovi as she adores reading...more importantly a shot of Ju-Ju, Aunt Kelli and Maddox celebrating Tovi
