We had a full week between Piper's 3rd birthday, Halloween, and Greta's 5th birthday. Fortunately, Dave had a vacation week, so we had all hands on deck.
We kicked off the fun with a combined birthday party for the girls on Piper's birthday. A few words about Piper currently. First, I can't believe she is three. She is so grown up, so self sufficient, and the perfect size to snuggle. She fits on my hip just right, when she wants to be there ;). She is three, lots of ups and downs, but Im so happy she is ours. We had a full house of family and fun with Qdoba and cakes, each of them had their favorite (Greta- Hello Kitty, Piper- Peppa Pig and Sarah, their cousin who shares Piper's birthday had Harry Potter). It was chaotic and fun and just what we needed to get in gear for Halloween...
We brought Halloween to the next level this year with a family costume and it was a success. We dressed as the Incredibles and everyone played their part perfectly, even Greta managed to give us some attitude in true Violet form. My highlight was Dave's Mr. Incredible hair piece. Thank God he is such a good sport. We had warm weather, in the 50s. We went out as a family early in the evening before I came home to pass out candy. By the end of the night, all of us were here as the kids were coming in such huge groups, it was hard for just me to keep up. We ended up with about 325 and were happy with another great Halloween in our fun neighborhood.
We spent the weekend celebrating Maddie's birthday followed by a school party for Greta on Sunday at Hoovers Martial Arts, which was really a lot of fun. Greta loved every second of the special attention. She finally turned 5 the next day (Monday) and was all smiles (most of) the day. Greta is sweet and sassy and is full on 5. She loves to love on me and get the one on one time, but also mocks and rolls her eyes at me with full on attitude if I catch her at just the wrong time. Lucky for her, I love all of her little personality traits.
Wow! We definitely need some recovery time after a week like that!
