Finally our Halloween Photos

 We had trunk or treat on Saturday which was a great teaching moment for our two new trick-or-treaters. They are big fans of being called cute and then getting Candy!

 

Then it was time to head out and have some fun!

Jheda is always very concerned where her cousin is at all times!

Christmas in November

 Since Grandma came into town for the Baptism we went ahead and did Christmas in November. The girls had a great time and Damon got a sneak peek into the world of present opening. He is a big fan!

 Bows are his FAVORITE!!!!

And then we ended the night with some book reading with Grandma! 

Layla's Special Day

Saturday we had an amazing time celebrating with Layla as she took a very special and important step and choice to be baptized into The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter day Saints. We tried to find moments to make that day special for her. Here are some photos. I will post my thoughts a bit later when I have more time and sleep enough to give it due diligence.

I can't believe the day is almost here....

It seems like only yesterday that this girl was just a little thing in my arms snuggled up and now she is grown up before my eyes. In case you do not get one of these little invites in the mail or hand delivered by this cutie and would like to come we would love to have all that know and love our little girl. We are letter her invite who ever she wants since it is her big day.

Her baptism will be a joint one with at least one other kid from her church class so we will probably celebrate afterwards with family and friends at my parents. This week we will get out and get the rest of her baptism photos done but for now here is a little sneak peek!

Halloween parties

As always the girls had a fabulous time at their halloween parties. It was cute to meet more of their friends especially one from Isa's class who introduced herself to me "Isa is my very best friend in the whole world" were her exact words, so cute!

DAMON  didn't exactly know what to think about all the excitement but he had a blast watching and getting into anything he could! 

Life with Damon at Nana and Papa's house

I always seem to forget my camera when I go to my parents house. Thankfully they have their camera handy so I have borrowed it a few times. Here are the pictures I finally got transferred to our computer. 

Hanging out with Papa!

 And of course his buddy Jheda!

Bathtime in the BIG sink!

Damon learned to "smile" for the camera and he squishes his face up so cute I can't help but want to kiss those little cheeks a thousand times. 

Don't you just LOVE how his smiley face makes him look like he is trying to do business! This kid cracks me up!

Of course we had another birthday party! Don't we always have one going on!

And then more "smiling" photos! 

And those are the rest of what we have until friday when I can download the halloween bunch! But seriously this kid has made our whole world brighter! He is the sunshine for all our cloudy moments, such a blessing in our lives!
