Remembering Disneyland

We recently had friends swing by and stay with us. Their daughter, Emma, is a little older than Brecken but it had been a year since they had seen each other. On the day of their coming Russ said "Brecken, do you remember Emma?"

Taylor interjected, "I do! I know Emma! I remember Emma!" We couldn't figure her enthusiasm knowing she probably did not really remember Emma. But she continued, "Emma C, see ya real soon. K-E-Y..."

Yes. Somehow everything gets back to Disneyland.

Perhaps this post is better suited for our Cute Things blog, but since I'm adding pictures it'll go here.

Our Disneyland spoils...

Happy Halloween

What an original title. This year was a very happy Halloween. What made it so joyous? The one year old. Trick-or-Treating has never been so amusing. Once she realized the name of the game she clutched that little plastic pumpkin like it was her life source. She toddled along, bucket in one hand, dad's hand in the other; no smile, strictly business. And the other girls were of course cute too. As usual.

Here is the little bumble bee...

All smiles once she got home and could delve into the goods (no making fun of her toes hanging over her her sandals, we had a shoe crisis just as it was time to leave)...

Oh, so cute. I love this girl...

And this girl at every house said "I'm a chicken." So adorable...

Doin' what chickens do...

And last, but certainly not least is our beautiful fairy. I don't know how she managed, but she literally had twice as much candy as Taylor, and three times as much as Hallie. She was leaving everyone in her fairy dust as she flitted from house to house. I love this girl. She's too much like her mom :)...

Happy Halloween.
