Halloween

It was a chilly night this year for Halloween. I was surprised that Ben still wanted to get out and trick-or-treat. Curt took a big umbrella with them and that came in handy as it started raining by 6:30. I passed out candy at our house and lots of little freezing wet kiddos came to the door. There was a really steady flow from 6-7:00. The cold weather could not keep these kids from their candy! :)
 
Last Friday, Curt's work had its annual Halloween celebration. It is always fun to see the place decorated and everyone in their costumes. Kids can come in and trick-or-treat around the office and that is something Ben looks forward to all year. I took a few pics on my phone from that morning. 
 
Our cute little duck ready to go to daddy's work. 
Curt wore a "knife-thrower" costume as part of his group's Mardi Gras theme. Ben is dressed as his favorite Luigi. 
 We stopped in a room to look at all of the Mardi Gras food and have a treat.
 
The following pictures are from Halloween.
 Ready for trick-or-treating (except his shoes :) ). We tried to layer as much underneath his costume as we could because he said, "Luigi does NOT wear a coat!"
 Lucy is really into clapping her hands lately.
This duck is coming to get you!

Enjoying December

I'm glad we had time to make sugar cookies together. Christmastime does not seem complete without them. I frosted the cookies while Ben and Curt decorated.  Lots of sprinkles and chocolate chips!  Ben loved getting slippers and a robe with his "Christmas Eve" jammies. He does love to be cozy. We decided to move up our present opening a day early because we thought I might end up in the hospital on Christmas. But, today is the 27th and still no baby. So we were a bit off on that one.  Santa brought the Lewis Hamilton car that Ben had asked him for. He was very excited!  The new pirate ship has been a favorite. He has played with it a TON a last few days.  Ben also got a few more pirate dress-up things. I've heard "Aarg!" a lot lately. :)  My parents came yesterday for a visit since my dad has this week off of work. We're hoping that I'll have the baby while they are here, but I'm not sure that is going to happen since they head home tomorrow. Ben ...

The Big 3-0!

Today I turned 30 years old. I didn't think that it would make me feel old, but it kinda does. :) I had a wonderful birthday. Curt went out and got us donuts for breakfast. Then, I got to open my presents. He did a great job shopping and I love everything he picked out! For lunch we went out to Olive Garden and then stopped by the mall for a little while. We spent the rest of the afternoon relaxing at home. I hope this getting older doesn't mean that gray hairs are going to start showing up! While I got ready this morning, Curt got out his old car track. He hasn't used it in many years, so he wasn't sure if it would work. Ben loved watching the cars race around the track. We enjoyed eating lunch at Olive Garden. Ben was too interested in coloring to look up at the camera. I love cheesecake for my birthday and Curt made this one for me all by himself. It is a chocolate chip recipe that is one of my favorites. He only added one candle per decade...we didn't ...
