Counting Down to Sweet Sixteen with Morgan

It was hard for me not being able to go and share Morgans Sweet Sixteen Birthday with her later this month, so I decided to make a countdown to the big day for her. I sent it in a package to Judie with instructions on what to do for each day. Each day has a fun gift or treat with a cute saying, some of them of her favorites like cereal, gum, candy, sent of lotion, others just kind of random, and others things I thought would be nice for her to have or focus on It was a lot of work getting it together and out on time but I now can feel a little more included in her special day! I can't believe she is almost 16!

Things To Remember

I hope I won't ever forget how innocent these sweet ladies really are, I hope I remember their passion for adventure and play, I hope I don't forget their natural love they have for me at this age. I hope I never forget how much the little things they say and do make my heart smile.

Adalynn / The cutest Ghost I ever did see!

She is still at the age where I get to pick what she wears so I chose a ghost for my little Ady, and she was just as cute as can be! She loved every minute of our Halloween parties, and festivities. After trick or treating we went down Poly where they have several streets in the neighborhood blocked off because the neighborhoods put on such a show. There are several homes that host free haunted houses (that someday we will have kids old enough to actually see the insides of) extreme costumes, people walking down the streets in costumes that have stilts, and chainsaws, and lit up robots.....tons of things to just take in! Anyway I held her the whole time, it was really cute when she saw something that scared her a bit or she wasn't so sure of her little thighs and arms would just tighten up around me and she would follow whatever it was with her eyes wide open. Too fun, I love Halloween!

Teagan / Butterfly Princess

Teagan wanted to be a monarch butterfly for Halloween this year. I searched over 12 stores for actual monarch wings, these are the closest I came and she was happy with them! I had a friend from church that was going to help me make her and Adalynns costumes, but ended up just doing it all for me, they turned out great, Teagan was really happy with it!

Tay Tay / Rupunzel

Taylee was Rapunzel for Halloween. The wig was worth every second of work I put into it. At our church Halloween party the there was a train of little girls all holding her hair running around giggling, it was so darling! She won the costume award there for junior primary costume.

Pumpkin Carving

Carving pumpkins was a lot of fun as always. We gave the girls a little bit more independence this year as they are able to do a bit more with it. For some reason I didn't get a picture of Teagan, oh wait yes, Adalynn had begun drawing all over herself with marker so I put the camera up!
