Fall Festivities

We didn't actually do anything on Halloween night except pass out candy at our house because Pete was a little under the weather AND because Aubrey was so tuckered out. She had no naps for several days in a row, and a late night the night before so she fell asleep around 5:30pm that evening and was asleep for the night. She did not get up until 6:30am the next morning. CRAZY! Her body obviously needed it.
I am so glad that we had went to Fall Fest the week before. ACA (Alpine Christian Academy) parents & staff did a great job at putting Fall Fest together. It was a fund raiser to benefit our school that raised close to $3,000.

It was SO much fun and the kids looked adorable :)

Aubrey was Annie from the musical (obviously)

It was fun that Aubrey followed in her Aunt Gi's footsteps as dressing up like Annie AND got to wear the same dress her Aunt Gi' wore:
Aubrey's has been interested in Annie since she watched the movie AND went to Austin and saw (these are Aubrey's words) "The real Annie on stage."


So Debbie came over to help get the kids ready and Aubrey tells her that she wants Debbie (Nana) to be Miss Hannigan. SO guess what? Of course, Nana goes home to dress up like Miss Hannigan! I was VERY impressed with the costume she whipped up in 10 min. But not surprised because my mother-in-law is a pretty remarkable lady :) It was fun for Aubrey AND Nana. Thanks Nana for being so loving and so willing to be there for your granddaughter.


And of course, we can't forget about Pete who was just as cute and adorable. Pete was a cowboy (wearing an outfit Bryan wore when he was a young lad. (Precious to me)
(thanks Mindi Collier for taking this picture)
Pete has grown so much since last year!

It was fun to see him interact more and really enjoy himself this time around. Bryan is pretty cute too ;)
