Family Pictures - Fall 2012

                                                                        Thanks to Lorel Marshall for taking such fun pictures.

Aliza's Birthday

Aliza picked a Spa party theme for her birthday this year. She was beyond excited for her friends to come over!

 This was the family birthday cake, and it was quite delicious!

 

Making a wish

Daddy brought her flowers! He always knows how to make a girl feel special. 

 

I think she was really surprised about this one - Barbie and the Pop star Polly Pockets.

 

 Aliza was all about the purple this year, modeling her new outfit in front of the birthday banner.

 The party favors

 We had so much fun with mani/pedis, facials, snacks, bracelet making and lots of dancing.

Her favorite gift was our family's very first Lego's. We had so much fun putting this set together. Everyone asked for Lego's for Christmas this year!

Halloween

This year I think we had more fun passing out the candy for Halloween rather than the Trick or Treating part.

 Our neighborhood has a jack-o-lantern carving contest each year. This year, this pumpkin won and we got coupons for free ice cream. 

 My sweet butterflies!

 The older kids (the ones who really were too old for trick or treating) had to sing a song to get their candy. If they didn't sing, they got an apple! It was pretty funny and next year we might just set up a hidden camera!!

Examining the loot!
