Ear Piercing.

As the mean mommy that I am, I took Giovanna to get her ears pierced. It was soooo sad. She cried for the longest time and I felt really guilty for causing her unecessary pain. It does look really cute though.

Trick or Treat.

Ok, I know this one is way past due, but here it is. Aiden went trick or treating this past Halloween and he had a whole lot of fun. We had a little glitch with the costume (which was supposed to be a lion) but my brother in law rescued us with an old costume from my nephew. We was a knight. The first house we went into, Aiden went right in. The other houses we stopped by he did what he was supposed to and got a whole lot of candy, which are still stashed all over the house. I am trying to get rid of it, because they are oh so tempting.

Bolt in 3D.

So, we decided to attempt to bring Aiden to the movie theater again (the first attempt didn't work so well), and he had a blast. We brought him to see Bolt in 3D and surprise, surprise...he even wore the glasses for almost the whole movie. It was the cutest thing ever. Giovanna did her part and slept he whole time.

Giovanna's Blessing

Last sunday was Giovanna's blessing and she behaved like a champ. Her daddy did a fantastic job and was not interrupted once by Giovanna. She was half asleep the whole time. We found the cutest dress for the special occasion, but the bonnet was huge, so she wasn't able to wear it. I put a bow on her instead. After the blessing we went home and had a simple brunch. It was a good day.

Thanksgiving

We had Thanksgiving at our house this year, and even though it was a lot of work it was also a lot of fun. We had our in laws over, my brother in law and his kids and my cousin and her family. The food was awesome and my weight watchers was totally out the window that day. I still got on the elliptical, but I don't think it helped all that much...I ate a whole lot that day.

It's a party for Paris and Sydney at the Zoo.

Our nieces Paris and Sydney had their b-day party at the Fort Worth Zoo and Aiden really enjoyed our trip out there. Aiden followed his great aunt Gayle wherever she went and when she wasn't within his sight he freaked out. It was very sweet. We got a chance to go around the zoo before the actual party and that was really neat. Giovanna slept the whole time we were there.

Gingerbread House

We decided to try to build a gingerbread house with Aiden for family home evening. Needless to say the child had a blast. He actually did really good as far as decorating the house goes, but we had a hard time keeping him away from the frosting. He wanted to eat the frosting I had put on the house. We made a huge mess on the dinning room floor but it was all worth it. Aiden is very proud of the finished product and shows it to anyone that come over to our house. Very cute.
