Happy Anniversary, Birthday, & Halloween...Yikes!

I guess its been a little too long since I updated my blog. If we're going chronalogically I should probably start with mine and Kimball's anniversary. Six years! I read online that the traditional six year anniversary gift is something made out of wood or metal. What am I supposed to do with that...widdle a birdhouse?! Instead we opted to take the kids for a sleepover at Alvin and Amber's then headed to Tucano's restaurant. Its a Brazilian place like Rodizios. I'm a big fan of both so I don't think I could pick a favorite. We had a great time, plus we got to sleep in the next morning. That's what I call a perfect anniversary present. Thanks Alvin and Amber for making it possible!

Next on the list is Kaden's birthday. Can you believe he's 4 years-old already? This year was a lot of fun getting ready for it all. He actually cared about what his cake looked like and the fun things we did. I think I got a little carried away with all the birthday fun. We went with the pirate theme. Complete with swords, hats, treasure hunts, and a million other things. We got lucky Halloween was coming up because all the pirate stuff was ridiculously on sale. I wish I could say I'm just brilliant, but it never occurred to me until I was buying all the stuff what great timing it was. I thought it was a great party, though I'm pretty sure Kaden would have loved it just as much minus about half of my preparations. Oh well...what we do for our kids.

After that we've got Halloween. The kids were so cute. We borrowed a tiger costume from Kimball's sister for Kaden and Jo went as the most adorable butterfly/pixie thing. First we went trick-or-treating with Alvin down the Provo mainstreet, then went up to Heather's for a little Halloween party. It was great.

The day before my Aunt threw a Party for everyone on the Patterson side. Kaden loved being dressed up twice for Halloween and he got lots of play time with the cousins so I'd call this Halloween a success.
