Happy Birthday Grandma!

Mom had a big birthday this year and we celebrated at a restaurant in Culpeper. We had a great time and think mom really enjoyed her birthday. This is a picture of the clock cake I made for the party....the mocha coffee icing was delicious!  Happy Birthday Grandma!

Bug's Birthday Party

Bug had his birthday party at the old elementary school just like his brother did. And he had a transformers birthday cake that I made, just like his brother. Bug was so excited to have his friends from school at the party! We had a great time and it was wonderful to catch up with my friend Barb and her daughter Mo!

Happy 4th Birthday, Love Bug!

Dear little Love Bug,
We love you lots and you are the sweetest little bug. Have a great birthday!

Love,
Mommy, Daddy and Roo

Trick or Treat

We took the boys trick or treating in a nearby neighborhood with some of their friends this year. It was also the first year Bug has gone trick or treating. We talked with him and Roo a lot about not eating any of the candy while we were out and that a lot if not most of the candy would be items Bug is allergic to. Both boys listened really well and were happy to have just 2 pieces of candy the entire night. They were both also really good about saying thank you and happy halloween at all of the houses we visited.  The only snafu of the night was the scary house as we call it. You could hear it was going to be scary from down the road and Bug was excited to get to the house and be brave and ask for candy. Well, he made it almost all the way up the driveway before he burst into tears. I rescued him and one of the scary characters from the house walked by me when I was carrying him away which made him cry a little more. Turns out this house belongs to one of our coworkers and it was a bunch of people we know. Next year we'll blow their cover and have them unmask for Bug! Bug didn't sleep great that night but he's back to normal now. Happy Halloween!
