Happy holidays!

Our little monkey!

Look at these sweet faces! I am the luckiest Mama monkey!

Ok, this isn't the best picture... but you can kind of see our outfits. We were a monkey family! Matt and I (of course) already had monkey outifts (full sized, including hands dragging the floor) so we bought one for E to wear for Halloween, too. Now that we're parents we had to fix ours up a bit. I added an apron and necklace to mom - up my outfit and Matt added a jacket and tie to make himself the dad monkey. We had a great time!

Monkey on the go!


On the night before we carved our pumpkin. It was so much fun! Matt did the carving while Eliana played in the pumpkin guts. I spent all evening laughing my pants off because E was having such a great time making a mess. As you look at these pictures you can note the progression of yuk on my kitchen floor and my daughter.

She's too busy to look at the pumpkin. Isn't that a good lookin' jack o'lantern? Matt did a great job. he loves Halloween!

Today we celebrated Dia de los Muertos. I had 1/2 day off work and we spent all the rest of the day together. We had a nice time, went to mass, did a few little celebratory type things and got some good ideas (and decorations!) for next year.
