Oh what a busy fall it has been! After Charlize was born Dad came for a visit for a few days, followed closely by a visit from our friends Jason and Tanya before they headed across the sea for the winter. Then there was Addie's 2nd birthday! She was so excited about presents and cake and especially singing "Happy Birthday". As soon as one birthday is done we start preparing for the next! This year Evan, for his 6th birthday, had 2 of his little friends over to Daddy's store to have pizza and cupcakes and watch a movie in the theater room. It was nice seeing Evan with his friends. Dan's dad also came to visit for a few days, so that made Evan's birthday that much more exciting for him!
Next bring on Halloween....Not exactly my favorite of occasions, but the kids love it and that's all that counts. Dan and I took them all up our street 4 blocks or so, so they did pretty good in the candy department. Bradyn was a ninja, Evan was a vampire, Avery was Bumblebee the Transformer, Addie was a fairy and Charlize was a caterpillar (who stayed snug as a bug in the stroller all night, so the costume was for my amusement only).
Before the sugar buzz had a chance to start to wear off Bradyn's birthday was upon us. 8!! Insane! He had the same kind of party as Evan except with a few more friends.
Yesterday we went to Fairmont hot springs (they are about 20 minutes from Radium hot springs and just a tad more kid friendly) where we met up with our long lost friends Kevin and Sylvia who we haven't seen in forever! Bradyn and their daughter Abby were best of friends when they were little and it was neat seeing them together again.
Anyway, long story short, it has been a fantastic fall filled with visits from friends and family and love and celebration! Next on the agenda, Jesse and his wife Becky coming to visit on December 14th!! : )
