My Auntie Jan hosted a Halloween party today! Everyone had such awesome costumes! Mike and I were pirates; Jax was a cowboy; Dad was a hockey player who'd gotten into a bad fight; Jen, Aria, Rylan, and Ava were Bo Peep, Barbie, Buzz Lightyear, and Jesse; Josh was Forky; Jan was a witch (of sorts); and Jonathan was Jack Skellington (kinda, lol).





Somehow these are the only photos I got from the party. :(

My dad's 50th birthday is on the 28th, so Jan also made him a cake and we celebrated his birthday!

Happy Sweetest Day!! 💘

Gembara corn maze race, year two! 🌽🗺🏃🏼‍♀️ Since next weekend is looking a bit busy, we did some birthday celebrations for dad this weekend. And on Sweetest Day, no less! ;) We had so much fun today navigating through an incredibly muddy maze, playing in a huge pit of corn kernels, and petting some very hungry animals. We followed up our fun fall evening by heading to a friend’s chilli cook off party for some yummy (and insanely spicy) chilli, and then with a trip to the movies to go see the newest Halloween reboot! Ugh, I love these guys so much. Thankful for such a wonderful day together! 💗

Dad said he wanted to do a corn maze for his birthday today, so despite the cold weather we headed out and did just that! 🌽 And boy did we have SUCH a great time together! My team won the corn maze race—naturally. 😏 We also played in a huge pit of corn, ate yummy fall treats, picked out pumpkins, and fed/pet some cute barn animals. Definitely a successful birthday. ☺️🎂🎃🍂












We ended dad's birthday with family pumpkin carving back at the house! 🎃 It was Mike's first time ever, though with how awesome his turned out you'd never know it! 😊 I made a carousel horse pumpkin, Mike did a classic scary face pumpkin, dad made a "pumpkin eating a pumpkin", Jax made Kermit The Frog pumpkin, and Mitch & Tommy made a B-Latte pumpkin, lol.







Later still, the boys and I watched Wish Upon together. Ahhh, what a fun day it was!!

My Winter Thanksgiving treats from Angie came today! Look at the cute chocolates she got me!!

Also today, after work was finally finished, Mike and I spent the evening making Halloween-themed cupcakes for my dad's birthday (which is tomorrow). They turned out so awesome! We made chocolate tombstone ones, and vanilla knife/blood-spattered ones. I think my dad is totally going to love them. :)
