Well here it is, probably the last post we'll make as a family of 3.
Just after my birthday Jeremy's family came on a last minute trip to visit. We got to take Ellia to build a bear where she chose a puppy dog and then went crazy looking at all the clothes...what a girl! Oh yeah, she also couldn't resist getting in the car.
We were also lucky enough to attend some other holiday celebrations. At our first party Ellia got to pick out a pumpkin and decorate it with foam facial features. When we got home I caught her putting all those pieces on herself. I missed the best picture where she had both her eyes and mouth covered!
Another party we attended was a park pot luck and trick or treat play date. We didn't have Ellia's real costume yet so she got to be a Hula girl. One of the other little girls at the park was obsessed with Ellia's coconuts and chased her around trying to put her hands on them. Ellia did NOT like that!
At this point the treats were piling up and we had to keep re-hiding them...well if you know Ellia at all you know she'll do whatever it takes to find treats. As you can see she snuck into the pantry and climbed on the garbage can looking for them....but she left a little too much evidence!

For another play date we met at a local pumpkin patch and chose some smaller pumpkins which we took home and painted.

Finally it was the eve of Halloween and Ellia was lucky enough to have a friend over to help carve pumpkins!
The morning of Halloween as I was getting Ellia out of bed and asking how she slept and what she wanted for breakfast and all kinds of other things and she was ignoring me like usual, I decided to tell her happy Halloween and I added, "It's Halloween Ellia, do you know what that means?" Without skipping a beat she answered, "treats."
At last we she got to wear her costume! First to a school party, then a church party...I attempted to "dress up" for that one, and then of course trick-or-treating! She is still working on her camera smile, but the trick or treating came easily!

Man, Lia is such a cute girl!!! I cant wait to see her and give her all the candy she wants, you know like a good uncle would do. Looks like you guys are having a blast out there.
Wow! Can't believe you already have another darling little girl! (That pregnancy flew by! But then again, I wasn't the one that was pregnant!) Love her name, love her darling dark hair, and I love how sweet you look with your little girlies! You're a beautiful mom and I am so excited for you! Enjoy her being itty bitty, because we both know how quickly that goes away!
