Halloween took a medieval theme this year. With Ethan deciding to be a knight in shining armor and Annie as Princess Rupunzel

Birthdays of 2011

This post collaborates our families birthdays for 2011. Richard's cake was inspired by his first word "cookie". It still to this day remains his favorite word to say. Ethan's birthday had some force with Star Wars as his theme. Earlier in the day we shared cupcakes with his preschool class at the park. Annie had an early birthday celebration before Shawn left for Paraguay. Her request was to go camping, so we stuck a candle in her smore. Her actual birthday was a fun day also wearing a birthday necklace to school. Shawn wanted to spend his birthday in the mountains, so thats when we decided to take our back packing trip together. (FUN!) As for Mama... her only request was a delicious chocolate chocolate chocolate cake. Her wish came true!!

Enjoying the Fall

Taking a trip up to the mountains near Santa Fe is becoming a tradition for us every fall. The autumn leaves are breathtaking! What a fun time we had together after having our Daddy gone for so long.
