Halloween 2014

Ben and Lucy love dressing up in costumes, so Halloween is always a fun time to add something new to all of their dress up clothes. This year, the weather was horrible. It was freezing, windy, rainy, and started snowing. So, I only took Lucy to a few houses and Ben went down a couple streets with Curt before they were too cold to stay out any longer. Ben did come home with a TON of candy though. I guess many people were passing out handfuls to all of the freezing kids.
 

 Lucy was Elsa and Ben was a Minion.
 Ben had Bananas visiting from his class at school and he decided to be a pirate.
 
 Bananas also stuck around to play with some Legos over the weekend.
 The Vera Bradley crew always gets into the Halloween spirit. This year, Curt's group dressed up like different SNL characters.
 Curt was one of the Wild and Crazy Guys. (Thankfully we already had the plaid pants and disco shirt in the closet. :) )
We kept the pumpkin decorating pretty simple this year. We painted them with glow-in-the-dark paint (which I wouldn't recommend...it didn't really glow that well) and added some sticker kits. Lucy made an owl, I had a fancy spider, and Ben & Curt both made guys with cool glasses and designs. Somehow I missed getting a finished photo.

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 ...
