Just a Wonderful Halloween Weekend!

Our first Halloween with our dear little bat was a blast!  We had our dearest Chicago friends in for the weekend and we couldn't have asked for a better time.  The weather was beautiful, the Husker Win was amazing, and the catching up was long overdue.  We miss the Gerrard's and Wolski's dearly and spent the weekend laughing at past moments with the 6 of us while constantly making  new plans for times to look forward to together!

Nothing like a Husker Tailgate

The original Chicago Group all Together!!

After getting ready I walked into Cooper's room to find Esther reading to the kids.  What  great mommy she is.  And how adorable are they? I am not kidding at one point Cooper had his arm around Jayla!

Can't get over Cooper's face in this shot, look at those chubby cheeks! These two darlings were so cute together, although we were all amazed at how really disinterested in each other they actually were.  Just wait, I am sure that will change.  They will probably hate us one day for the bathtime pictures we have of them together ;)

We decided since we probably were not going to go Trick or Treating this year with Coop, we should have a little party to dress him up at and at least celebrate his first Halloween in some way.  So we invited some families over to celebrate with some Halloween treats, a fire on the patio out back, and all the kiddos dressed up in costumes!  It was the perfect Sunday afternoon.

A Cat and a Bat and a.........Husker Fan I guess?!  Nice Costume dad, not.

Just "Monkeying" around!  We tried to get the picture perfect shot of these 3 little cuties, but Monkey J kept attacking the Bat!

Jack the jack-o-lantern (8mo), Cooper the bat (6mo), and Jayla the Monkey (11mo) 

Can you guess who belongs to who?

Thanks to Lindsey's amazing cupcake making skills, we pulled off these beautiful treats, and yes Esther the frosting really does look orange!
