Happy Halloween

Okay, so I really have some catching up to do! I thought I HAVE to get this in before Thanksgiving!!

We had a GREAT Halloween. Very action packed, though.

Thursday night we carved our pumpkins. This year we only had three because Chad was helping Teagen carve hers! Maya decided she wanted her pumpkin carving to be Cinderella. So with a little help from Mom I think we may have succeeded. With my pumpkin, I decided to capture Teagen's smile and teeth in my jack-o-lantern. Teagen's, well, it was just too small to try to carve anything crazy, so Chad made a good ol fashioned "H".

Friday the kids at Maya's school all dress up and they have a Costume Parade. It was absolutely precious! Here is Maya walking with her class and also a picture with her good friend, Megan.

After Maya got out of school we went up to Orange County to meet my sister and her kids. We dressed the kids up, took some pictures and headed off the the shopping center by the house so the kids could do some Trick-or-Treating. It was so fun for Maya to be with her cousin! Especially since Teagen isn't so excited about the whole thing just yet!

After the bags were full (and even a few in Teagen's for Daddy & Mommy) we were off the see my sister Roxi cheer at her first Homecoming game as a Varsity Cheerleader. And what made it even more interesting is that her school (Dana Hills High School) was playing my Alma mater (Aliso Niguel High School). It took a lot to sit on Dana's side, but I did it. Good thing I had the support of my sister, Sheena and her boyfriend, Brian who both went to Aliso. Fortunately Dana won their homecoming game, unfortunately they CRUSHED Aliso. Sheena, Brian and I did cheer, however, for the ONE touchdown Aliso scored. (Sorry Rox!) It was really fun to watch Roxi in action. Teagen had fun eating the whole time. And Maya LOVE watching all the cheerleaders, the halftime show and especially meeting the dolphin!
