Baby's first Halloween!

Happy Halloween! Peter, Gavin and I had our first halloween together as a family! Peter was a very cute corn husk. He got a lot of compliments, Thanks to Jessica Clerc, who let me borrow it for Peter. Gavin was the caped Spider man and I was pretty lame with my apron, pot and spoon. I suppose I was a mom for Halloween . . . scary I know. The scariest part is I'm a mom in real life, every day. I can't believe I'm old enough to have a baby!

Peter, Gavin and I went over to Gavin's sister's home for Halloween. We spent the first part of the night passing out candy to all the cute trick-or-treaters. When the candy ran out, we joined Stephanie and Richard and their kids, Jessi and Todd and their girls, as well as Jessi's friend, Krystal Avila and her children. Once I get the group picture I'll post it. Everyone looked amazing!

Suiting up.
Peter was pretty much asleep the whole time.
Zana got tired, so she hitched a ride on Uncle Gavin's shoulders. Zana's costume had a hoop skirt and presented us with a great photo opportunity.

He looks exhausted . . . it was hard pretending to be a corn husk.
Gavin and I wanted to decorate our apartment for Halloween. We didn't do a lot, but we did find a cute idea from Pinterest. We made sparkly spider webs. To make the webs you use Elmers glue, wax paper and glitter. Draw the spider webs with the glue on wax paper, cover it with glitter and then let it dry. When it's dry peel it off carefully and tada!!! You will have perfectly charming spiderwebs. 


We also made spiders with pipe cleaners. It was a fun Saturday activity. We displayed everything on our rod iron trellis we have hanging on our wall in our living room. We have fun decorating this trellis every holiday. 




Happy Halloween!!!

Gavin's First Choir Concert

Last Thursday,November 25, 2012, Gavin had his first choir concert at Grand Canyon University. The concert was so fun and Gavin did a great job. He had a solo and did very well. I'm so proud of him. He looks so handsome in his tux!

I was also so proud of Peter! Peter was such a good little boy. Just before the concert started he totally pooped out of his outfit, but once I changed him and got him situated, he listened quietly through the first half and then just passed out by mid concert.

Me with my handsome, talented husband and a sleepy son.
Trying to get Peter to look at the camera AND smile . . . very tricky with a  two and a half month old.
Needless to say, we gave up.
Almost there . . .
