Halloween and Rylee's 7th Birthday

I'm a little late getting this post up, but better late than never:) Since Rylee's birthday is the day after Halloween it's always a fun and busy time. For Halloween this year Ry was a mermaid, Gavin was a knight, and Carter was a bumble bee (for the ward party and trunk-or-treat) and he was a monkey for trick-or-treating:) His bumble bee costume was adorable, but huge so he will probably wear it next year as well:) We love our ward party with all the yummy chilies and cornbread. This year our ward out together care packages for some of the troops serving over seas since our Bishop is in the military and had been over there a few times, I believe.
Gavin's preschool had a fun parade with all the kids dressed up in their costumes. It was so fun to go and watch him. He is loving school and his teacher.
Rylee's school also had a halloween party. They were not allowed to dress up, but they still got to eat goodies. They have a rule at the school that parents cannot bring in treats on their child's birthday so I signed up for the Halloween party, close enough. I made these super cute owl cupcakes. Rylee had a pajama party for her birthday. She has been begging to have a sleep over, but I'm just not ready for that so we compromised. We had 5 silly girls come over for pizza, princess cupcakes, and the classic princess movie, Sleeping Beauty (which only Rylee wanted to watch:) The other girls just wanted to play:) Over all I think she had fun and that's all that matters. On Rylee's birthday a friend of mine watched Carter for me and I was able to go to Rylee's school and have lunch with her, I will definitely have to do that more often--she loved it!!! And so did I:) I just can't believe that my baby girl is 7!!! Here is to another wonderful year with our princess!!!
