its been a while! Not much has been going on for Cookie. A family as a whole though, we got a puppy, started the renovation on the backyard, had a wonderful christmas, and are happy to start a new year with many new things to come.

Our new german shep puppy is just a doll! We named her Ginger. Shes 4-5 months old and already 40 pounds!

Happy + Halloween

cookie had a BLAST! halloween was fantastic this year. Cookie was a witch, Christopher was Dadcula, and i was Hecate!

We started out the night at my moms for dinner with Shelby and Judy joining us. Had a lovely dinner and then hit the streets!

by the end of the night she had so much candy she couldnt even drag her pumpkin bag. we got home a little after 7pm and got our house all lit up and ready for trick or treaters

i made these cute little ghost luminaries out of old baby food jars and white craft paint. hung them on little yard hooks with wire. they lit the path up to our door.

we didnt have many kids this year but we did hand out all the candy we had! It was a great year!

*witchy ways*

I was planning on cookie being a bumble bee this year. i had most everything ready to go but of course i couldnt find a plain black shirt.. a mom friend [ http://pinkisfunbowtique.com/ ] of mine made this shirt for cookie and i loved it so much i just tailored a new costume around it. you cant see in the pic but it has the cutest stitched pumpkin on the front. so that is how cookie became a witch for halloween this year. im very pleased. her photos came out perfect and shse loves wearing the hat and tutu.

i cant wait to take her out trick or treating this year. She will have a blast!

the patch

so we went to the pumpkin patch on our 3 year wedding anniversary. we all had a blast! we took the wagon which was a big help for holding all our bounty. we spent a good 30 minutes lost in the corn maze and cookie had fun picking out her pumpkin.
