Halloween 2013

Well Halloween is over, but the festivities are continuing in our area through Sunday due to most things being canceled because of storms. We still managed to have a lot of fun and do some trick or treating yesterday too.

We visited my grandmother first yesterday. She always gets Henry a basket/bucket for just about every holiday. It was stuffed full of cars, candy and snacks. I dressed him at her house so that she could see him in his costume. It made her so happy.

 Henry went as a little old man this year and won 2nd place in Troy's Halloween costume contest for it! He is such a little ham! I was a little upset with myself for not having any better photos of him, but oh well! I'll have another chance Sunday to dress him up for our little villages's festivities.

We went trick or treating with the cousins last night. Izabel was Jessie from Toy Story and Vinny was a Halo character. My sister-in-law and her husband made both of their costumes. I love that our families are so crafty! Henry had SO much fun trick or treating this year. Jeremy and I got such a kick out of watching him go up to the doors (by himself!) and hold his little bucket out for treats.

I hope you all had a wonderful Halloween!

Easter 2013

Doesn't it feel like Sunday was ages ago already? Maybe it's just me! Easter is always full of wonderful blessings for our family every year. We always go to church, participate in numerous Easter egg hunts and have a huge family dinner. This year was no exception!

Jeremy took Henry on this year's first Easter egg hunt while I was at work a couple of Saturdays ago. He was super shy and only picked up a couple of eggs, but Jeremy said he had a ton of fun anyway.

Henry and his Grandma.

Daddy and Henry. I asked Jeremy why he looked so angry to be participating in an egg hunt and he told me this was about the 15th try at a picture because his mom couldn't figure out the camera on the phone. Haha!

We gave Henry his Easter basket first thing Sunday morning - in bed. In case you missed it, you can check out the details of what was in the basket in this post. He loved everything and played with his trains all morning long!

Then we all got dressed up and headed off to church. We still attend my home church in Miamisburg on special holidays although we have a local church that we attend quite often as well. My grandmother and brothers and sisters attend this church so it always feels good to go there when we can.

Family photo!

Sisterly love.

He did MUCH better the second time around!

We went to my grandmother's house afterwards to have a light lunch and watch Henry open his Easter basket from her.

She loves him more than anything.

Then we headed to Jeremy's parent's house for dinner and another Easter egg hunt (and more baskets). The food was soooo good and I totally blew my diet for the day (hey, it was a holiday) and I have to say that it was totally worth it. Henry enjoyed dessert the best.

We had just a wonderful Easter and I hope your Easter was as blessed as ours!
