Happy Halloween, Viva Las Vegas, and Over the Hill

We had a fun Halloween season this year.  To get into the festivities, we decorated our house...well as much as we could with the few Fall decorations we have.  It's always fun to add a little color and splash.  We also carved a pumpkin this year. Abigail helped scoop out the seeds, though she wasn't quite sure what to think of the squishy texture.









We once again decided on a family themed costume (we have to take advantage of the time before Abigail wants to choose her own costume).  After some deliberation, we decided on the Three Amigos, since this will most likely be our last Halloween with just the three of us (NO! This is not an announcement, just a general assumption based on our plans).  We dressed Abigail up in her costume for Steve's work Halloween party.


 Then we all dressed up together for Halloween.  When we took Abigail trick-or-treating, she couldn't say "Trick or Treat," but when people gave her candy, she would say, "Tank You."  It was adorable!



The next day, we made our way down to Las Vegas to see Chris (Steve's brother) graduate.  Abigail did great on the car ride.

On Friday night, Steve took me out to celebrate my 30th birthday (yep, I guess I am now over the hill, at least the small hill that is the 20's).  Abigail stayed with Grandma and Grandpa and went swimming with the cousins.

On Saturday we went to see Abigail's cousin Ryan play in his soccer game.  That night the whole family, plus some of Chris's friends, went out to eat at the Cheesecake Factory.  Sunday was the graduation.  Chris was one of the speakers.  He did a great job.  We were all very proud.  It was a fun trip.  Abigail enjoyed playing with her cousins, grandparents, and great-grand parents.

Isn't this just such a precious picture!
I guess Adios would be the most appropriate sign off for now :)
