Elsi's New Trick "Bye"

My Baby girl is getting so big. As you all know we will be celebrating a birthday in 10 days. Elsi will be the big "1" year old. She even has a new trick to show off. She is getting to where she will wave and say "bye". The best moment yet with her new trick was during dinner the other night. She was ready to stop eating and I could tell because she was sighing and then taking another bite. Well when she finally had enough of it, instead of turning her head back and forth away from me she looked at me, put her little hand up and waved bye bye. Then she told me "Bye". It was like, "alright I have had enough so go away." It was pretty funny.

Happy Halloween

Well Halloween has come and gone and we still have tons of candy left over. But what a Great Halloween we had this year. Friday night before halloween we had a party at our new house. Everybody came and we had such a great time. Levi was a werewolf and I was the Lady MadHatter. Our Beautiful Elsi Bug was a Lady Bug. She was a beautiful ladybug. She had a great time at the party. Some of our neighbors and co workers have kids and grand kids and there were kids everywhere. Most of the children were older than Elsi but that didn't stop her from having fun and playing with the big kids. Saturday was a little rough for Levi and I. Our last guest didn't leave until 4:30 a.m. I took Megan shopping that Saturday for a dress for her homecoming dance and then we came home and the girls got all dressed up. Elsi back in her ladybug outfit, Megan as Pocahontas and Megan's friend Caitlyn was dressed as a bunny. They all looked so cute. We went to my coworker Mike's house and trick or treated with his family. Levi stayed home to hand out candy. Elsi loved trick or treating and his neighborhood really goes all out. One guy had a popcorn machine and was handing out full size bags of skittles and candybars and another home had a cotton candy machine and was handing out capri suns and juice boxes. I hope all of you had a Halloween just as magical as ours.
