Halloween and other festivities!

Halloween has come and gone and we survived!! Let me clarify, Nicholas survived! See, we bought a 5 lb bag of assorted chocolate candies for the SWARMS of trick-or-treaters in our hood.... we had 4, count em (yes, all on one hand 4!) so of course being the hero in every situation, Nicholas took it upon himself to personally eat 99.9% of the left over candy so that I would not completely ruin my chances of seeing my feet again this year!! What a wonderful guy, I tell ya!

Our two lovely girls did in fact dress up this year!! They are so super excited to show you their costumes! So, without any further ado... I present Miss Emma and Miss Bella!

Little Miss Emma had a bit of a problem with her "hat", but she was a good sport the entire time! Emma LOVES to dress up, Bella HATES to dress up! She's our tom boy -- what can ya do?! So Emma was a banana split and Bella was a unicorn with a princess on her back! Nick picked out the unicorn for her after discovering she goes into fits of "get it off, get it off" when he puts a toy on her back and she can't immediately grab it. Quite amusing! 

We are now gearing up for our "honeymoon-of-sorts" to TN here in a week or two courtesy of Nicholas' friends Ham and Mindy - so that should be fun! Then of course Black Friday shopping, I'm trying to convince my friend Stephanie to come out with me so that Nicholas does not threaten to divorce me! Nicholas and Black Friday crowds don't love each other!!! We shall see!
