Birthday celebration, Halloween and getting ready for Christmas

Halloween brought to us a princess and an angel--which in all reality is not much different than any other day. :)

The girls loved, loved, LOVED halloween and getting candy this year. In fact, they got so much of it, we still have some left.








Two days before halloween though, we had a birhtday, 5th birthday for Cassidy. It is really hard to believe that our little baby is now 5 years old. She is truly our little clown.

















A new way to wear your robe--just stick your legs thru the arm holes.

Yesterday, we got our Christmas decorations up for the holdiays. We got a smaller tree so that we don't lose as much room in our living room with our large one. And it turned out pretty nicely. Cassidy helped me with setting up the village too. It all looks wonderful. I like looking around and seeing all the festive items all around us.






































Happy Holidays everyone!

A football game, a vow renewal & a birthday party

Since my last post, we have done a couple of interesting things. First off Jared and I went to a Husker football game. It was Homecoming and the 300th consecetive sell-out game. It was a pretty good time & the seats we got were AWESOME. Thanks to Jared for getting the tickets.











And on our 10th anniversary day (Oct. 16), Jared and I renewed our vows, with Pastor Jim officiating. It was a very small intimate affair. The girls stood up with us and listened. Then we all re-lit the unity candle, together as a family. It was very nice and memorable. I am glad that we did it and believe all couples should do a vow renewal at some milestone. It is a wonderful thing.







And this past Saturday, we had a family birthday party for Cassidy. Hard to believe that in 3 days our baby will be 5. Wow!!! She also had a friend come over to play. They had a blast! Cassidy has become quite the fan of Barbies and Fancy Nancy as you can tell from the gifts. It was a good time and all the family seemed to enjoy themselves. Thanks to everyone for coming.

1st day of school & a couple of cute Husker fans.

School for Seanna has now been in session for a couple of weeks--in fact, they are having their first break this weekend. I thought it might be time to load her 1st day of school photos. Cassidy got to spend time with me while Seanna was in school--and was there to drop off and pick up. Fabulous. Now she will know what it is all about next year when she goes.

And this past Friday, they got to wear their Husker cheerleader outfits to show their Husker pride. They loved it!!!

GO BIG RED!
