Here are some pictures from Halloween 2014. This year Alice wanted to be "Crumbs Sugar Cookie" from Lalaloopsy, and Eleanor went as our little honey bee. I am pretty sure I have never seen two costumes that were any cuter than these two little doll faces.
Early in the week, we hit the Trunk or Treat event at the local elementary school. The weather was beautiful. I was so excited that the girls didn't have to wear coats over there costumes! These Colorado autumns can be unpredictable.
I love how they love each other!
Here is a quick pic from the main event. Our new neighborhood really goes all out, and Jeff dressed as a farmer to take the girls to make the rounds. The evening was quite a success! I think we have enough candy to make it until Easter...!
It is so hard to believe, but our little munchkin is 2! With all of our family and most of our friends in Texas, we decided to have 3 small celebrations instead of one big one.
Here is El the morning of her big day. She already has so much personality, and is letting us know who she is more and more every day. Although she has a bit of a "wild spirit", she is our little nurturer, and really enjoys playing with her baby dolls and mothering them. She is also a big fan of books; she enjoys looking at pictures herself and loves to be read to. She is interested in anything her big sister seems to be doing, and she loves to listen to music and have dance parties with Alice. She has shown a special affection for animals, and particularly likes to look at fish.
We had a birthday dinner for Eleanor a week before her birthday while her Nana was in town visiting. I have never seen a child as excited as Eleanor was when the Applebee's wait staff came to sing to her and bring her dessert. She left the restaurant cuddling her new toy bunny from Nana and saying "happy, happy!"
On the day of her birthday, we had the Bucher family, (our new neighbors), come over for a little birthday party. We all had a great time, and El enjoyed all of the attention and having children over to play with.
Eleanor and Emma (these 2 have become fast friends ;-)

Eleanor's favorite part of the birthday cupcakes is icing, just like her Mama!
Alice was pretty excited about her cupcake too ;-)

A picture of all of us...hey, every photo opportunity for all of us to be in the picture counts!
We had yet another birthday celebration the weekend after Eleanor's birthday while her Mimi was in town. Here is a picture of the 3 pretty blondes!
