Halloween!!!

We enjoyed our Ward Trunk or Treat the Friday before Halloween!!! Kids loved it!!!  It was Gabby's first time running around with friends, instead of following family!  It was Cavan's first at trying to run around by himself.  He didn't get a lot of candy until he met back up with Madi and I!  Then his bucket was full!  Madi didn't mind it!  She preferred looking at costumes and trying to go back to Clay at the car! It was super fun! Clay manned the car while I walked around with kiddos!  

Halloween day we decided to head to Crabtree Mall, now that we live not even 20 minutes from it!!  We got there on time, so the kids would actually have a chance to trick or treat!!! They enjoyed the first 30 minutes, but after that it was pulling teeth to get them to go to the next store!  We had fun though!  I snapped these pics right before we left the mall!  All Cavan wanted to do was play on the train toy!  He was happy once he could do that! 

Gabby turned 7...oh and Clay turned 34...=0)

 First, there is this fat cat...so fat...he weighs the same if not more than Madi!

Next, we have Gabby's first party!  We celebrated with our little family party on her actual Birthday! She was so cute and very excited for her presents!

 Madi was a little too!

 Cavan definitely was!

 However, Madi was more interested in reading books...

 Since we were doing a big cake at her big party, we made enough cupcakes for Daddy's party for Gabs to share! Of course, we added a big blue one especially for her!!!

 I still do not think he is that excited to be a year older!

 Big Party time!!!  Family came and a friend from down the road!!!  My camera of course died shortly after these few pics were taken!  Pictures from presents are on the ipad, so I'll get those up later!!!  Happy Birthday Big Girl!!! We love you so much and are so grateful that you are apart of our family! Could not imagine life without you!

 Just to have to tell everyone how awesome my Dad is!  All of my family is awesome of course, but my Dad came up early to do some things around the house that I and Clay are not able to do!!  Thanks Pop Pop!!! Gabby and Cavan are so glad they can get up onto the top bunk without having to scale the back of the bed!!  =0)
