Happy Halloween 2010

this year we invited Mia's friends and their parents to our house. These children have known each other since preschool and us Mom's have formed a special friendship! We had a hayride type of Halloween this year. In our neighborhood, there is a lot of walking and the hayride made it much easier and more fun for the kids!! Stephanie, Jamie and Kelee joined us again this year and I loved Mr. Potato head! My Mom and Dad as you can see joined in on the fun as well, and to be quite honest with you, I think my Dad makes a pretty woman! Mia acted very distant to my Dad in costume and I asked what is wrong and she responded, "Papa is scaring me" !!!

I love when I catch these moments on camera!
These pictures really get a feel of what goes on in our house quite often! Mia loves being mischievous with Daddy!

Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween Party 2010
what a great time we had with the gang at Disney! LOTS of candy, laughter, and friendship!!

Yee Hawin' Good TimeMia wanted her birthday party this year again at the farm! We celebrated her 3rd birthday here also and she must have loved it! Some new changes at the farm this year so it was a different experience. This year they had a corn maze and the kids had a blast searching for toys! They also had 2 baby piggys which were 3 weeks old, it was so cute to hear them squeal! The weather was perfect and all the kids had a great time!

Family dinner celebration at Fujiyamas!

the look of excitement when she tore open only one little corner of the present and noticed was was inside was priceless!!

Today our baby girl turns 5!

Where does the time go? Mia stands at 46 " tall and weighs 42 lbs. WOW!! She loves to sing country songs, talks a whole bunch (non-stop), is always full of life and is very thoughtful. She was very excited when she was tall enough to ride Space Mountain at Disney and can't wait for her final 2" to get on Mount Everest at Animal Kingdom and Aerosmith's Rock n' Roll Rollercoaster in Hollywood Studios. My little daredevil hangs with me, has no fear and I love it! Tonight is our family dinner celebration, and as tradition goes, the Birthday person get to pick where they want to eat and YEP! Mia picked Sushi! She eats the ginger like it's going out of style and uses her chopstick better than some adults. I made chocolate Chip cookie ice cream sandwiches for her birthday celebration at pre-school and that was at her request because, and I quote "Mommy EVERYONE brings cupcakes!"

Her 5 year old pictures were taken with her friend Belle, who is the sweetest horse. Mia has been taking lessons for a couple of months now and loves to bring her carrots and apples for treats after lessons.
