Maya’s 2nd Birthday Party! November 7, 2008

Filed under: Photos, Vacations — julescruise @ 8:14 pm

When we were in St. Louis, we were able to attend Maya’s 2nd birthday party. She is a Halloween baby, and Karyn organized a party for her on Saturday night with a few friends and family. Of course, it was a blast!

Karyn is my Martha Stewart. She pre-sewed the felt pumpkins (which she cut out!) and cut the shapes for us to decorate pumpkin pillows. Then we stuffed them. They turned out amazing!

Happy Halloween 2008! November 6, 2008

Hello all! We had a great time in St. Louis this past weekend. Jack had a blast trick-or-treating with his cousins, and he actually wore the costume the whole night! We went to the pumpkin patch earlier that day with GG Honey (my grandma), Grandma Lisey and Michael’s family. I will post those photos later, but I wanted to get the Halloween ones up ASAP because they are so cute!
