Trick or Treat

I know I'm really late in posting about Halloween! We moved just a couple days before Halloween so things were kind of crazy! We went to my brother's neighborhood Trunk or Treat. I really love Trunk or Treats! The kids are happy with all the candy and I'm happy with how fast it is!

Christian was Captain Jack Sparrow

Emilee was Sleeping Beauty, Hailee was a Cat, and Aubrie was a Girl Pirate!

After the Trunk or Treat we headed to my Mom's house for some yummy dinner. After which we headed out for some more Trick or Treating. We had a great time and it was a really nice break from the chaos of our house and all the unpacking.

New Moon

My Mom, Tahnie and I went to see New Moon at the Thursday Midnight showing! It was so much better than Twilight. I'm glad they changed directors! The special effects were better; the actors even seemed better. We had a lot of fun getting to the theater an hour and a half early. We thought we'd get great seats coming that early but no we got to sit 3rd row from the front. Which was a lot better than the front row we got to sit in for Twilight.

Before we left we had a little New Moon dinner party.

The Red Izzy drinks had labels that said, "Type A, Type B, Drink Up, I'm Thirsty" . It's hard to see in this picture, but on the right are white cupcakes that looked like they've been flicked with blood. They also have Forks stuck in each one which is holding a quote from the book. We had Italian, of course.

I also had framed quotes from the movie set around! We got home around 3:30AM, but it was all worth it! I can't wait until I see New Moon again!

Aubrie's 6th Birthday Party!

Aubrie turned 6 on Nov. 6th! I can't believe how fast she's growing up! We had a Cinderella party at our house to celebrate on Nov. 7th.

I was crazy to have her party at our house since we had just moved 2 weeks before. Luckily I've done quite a few princess parties so I didn't have to do a whole lot to get this party ready. Besides unpacking hundreds of boxes that is!

It's hard to tell from this picture but there are cutouts of Jaq, Gus, a bird, the Fairy Godmother, and Prince Charming on both sides of the "red carpet". There is even a glass slipper on one of the steps.

Aubrie looked at lots of different cakes on the Internet and decided she wanted this Cinderella cake.

For Party favors I made "glass" slippers (http://www.skiptomylou.org/?s=paper+shoe+tutorial) for the girls and little blue Chinese take out boxes with Jaq on the front for the boy!

Present time!

We had dinner and then we played pin the crown on the princess, find the hidden glass slipper, and had a fishing pond. I know a fishing pond doesn't fit into the whole Cinderella theme but it was Aubrie's request that we have one. So I just printed out Cinderella clip art and added it to the fishing pond! We were also going to make bead bracelets but with 16 kids and 10 adults it was just too crazy!

Moon Family Pictures

My Grandma Moon wanted family pictures with all of her kids, grandkids, and great grandkids. We took them in her front yard in early Oct. Tahnie set it all up with everyone and then she took the pictures! Didn't she do a great job?
