Marah turned 3!

She got this darling hat from her cousins and I think she liked posing in it.
Uncle Justin liked posing in the fairy wings she got.
Gotta love their sons pose as well.

Marah absolutely loved her Tinker Bell pjs from Grandma.
I loved this picture, especially how the camera caught the smoke.
Marah is mentally trying to help Lily from the background.
Dress ups were by far her favorite gifts. I don't think there has been a single day since her birthday that she has not wanted to play dress ups. We got tons of 90% of Halloween costumes as dress ups. She loves them!
Poor Nathan doesn't have a chance with his girly cousins.

The best part of the party was marah's attempt to blow out her candles. Both my girls have issues with that. Guess we need to work on it. Poor Marah tried hard to blow those candles out. She never noticed that I helped her blow them out in the end, but I love the picture at the end after she finally got them out. Grandma made the awesome bumble bee cake.

It's a privilege to give Marah gifts as she lets us all know at the end of this video.

Halloween is finally here!

I know Halloween was a few months ago but in my own specially blogging time, it is finally here. I LOVED Halloween once again. Marah was a witch and Lily was a butterfly fairy (surprise, surprise). We went to grandma's first since she had to work. They got a bucket of candy there. Marah was into the candy before the door behind her was even closed.
My mom has this spooky life size witch. Can you tell which one is Syd?
We went trick or treating at Uncle Bob's.
Then to the carnival at the school. The girls got cotton candy for the first time, but they weren't too sure about it.



In case you are wondering like everyone else, i did not paint the detail on Lily's face. I found some awesome scrap book stickers for both of their costumes. I would never have the patience for that.

I put my favorite pictures that I did some editing on in my photo blog just so I could post them bigger and with the black background. Click here to see some awesome witch and fairy pics and some other Halloween favorites.
