Halloween Party

As I said in the Halloween post, I have no pictures of just Arya and Daddy in their Star Wars costumes. Well, Bradley's cousin Heather told me she does have some! So thanks to her, here are those pictures along with some others from the party.

 This next one is Arya crawling on the floor in front of our friend Kara, who was throwing the party.

And, eventually, Arya was out of her costume because she was getting too hot in it. (I took off my wig, for the same reason.)

Arya's First Halloween

Arya enjoyed her first Halloween. She and Mommy just hung out that day and that evening attended a party (along with Daddy). Arya went as R2D2 (which was a big hit), Daddy was Anakin Skywalker. Mommy was going to go as Padme, but since we went costume shopping late, she was unable to find the costume. (Bradley actually MADE his own costume! He is so talented!) So, instead she wore a "This is my costume" shirt and a wig. Arya seemed to love the wig.

I meant to get a pictures of just Daddy and Arya in their Star Wars costumes, but we got home late and Arya was already asleep.

We also took pictures of Arya in her Halloween onesie and bib with her little pumpkin. They aren't the best because Arya didn't really want her picture taken.

She was very interested in her little pumpkin.

Backyard

Here are some better pictures from playing in the backyard during our trip to Grandma and Grampas.

The last two are of her playing with a giant nerf gun that her cousin was playing with. Daddy thought it was funny when she crawled over and started inspecting it, so he took these pictures.

Trip to Grandma and Grampas!!

From October 20-23 went up to Iowa to visit Grandma Suzanne and Grampa Brian.

While we were there we got professional family pictures taken. Here is Arya taking a nap in Aunt Shannon's arms in between takes.

Also while there Arya took a bath in a big tub for the first time! She LOVED it! She had so much fun splashing and actually getting to spend time in the tub! (In her little tub it was get in, wash, get out quick!)

Here are pics of swinging in the back yard. I know you can't really tell in these pics but she really enjoyed it and kept giggling. 

Here is celebrating Daddy's birthday.

The last night we were there Arya modeled her halloween costume for everyone since they wouldn't be here to see her dressed as R2D2. In this picture she is with Aunt Andrea, the Star Wars fanatic of the family. There will be more pics of the costume in my Halloween post. (Coming later this week.)


It was a really great trip and we even took the dogs up there with us. It was good to be all together as a family up at my parents since we hadn't all been up there in almost two years.
