Well, not really until November 20th, but we did have an early celebration. I guess we'll just have to party for another 20 days!!Averi & Dawson's Halloween Birthday party had a great turn out. I think (and hope) that everyone had a fun timeand enough to eat! All of our closest friends & family joined us for this celebration and made it that much more special for our little pumpkins! Averi was Miss Peacock and Dawson was a cowboy. We had a lion, tigers, monkeys, kittens, dinosaurs, storm troopers, HSM's Gabriella, witches, ghosts, tinkerbell, etc! I think the jumpy/bouncy/slide thing was a HUGE (literally) hit espcially with the older children! It was a pain to set up & pack up and I didn't even take a single picture of it!! We were told that it was approximately 450 pounds---if you think I'm exaggerating, then just ask Allen & my brother!! They did a great job! I was so busy in & out of the house, that I didn't even have the chance to visit with some of our guests! If you were one of those people, I sincerely apologize & I wish I could have visited with you longer!! Sadly...we never had the chance to take a few minutes to take a family photo. Hopefully, we'll take one on her actual birthday!!

Here is a slideshow of the pictures that were worthy of posting. Included is just a portion (not even half!!) of the families that were here celebrating with us...I never had the chance to get a picture of everyone here!
Last year was Averi's first year to take a picture with Santa and it didn't turn out so well. It wasn't the type of picture of your child that you would typically brag about, but it was classic enough to show off. Since Santa has arrived at the mall, every time we've been there we've shown him to her so she would become acquainted with him. She'd smile & wave and even call his name. So, on Saturday morning, we decided we would try our luck again this year.
