Yes, this was on November 4th

Nearly 100 degree weather + John's day off = a day at the beach in November. Gotta love So. Cal.



Kira had the best time digging in the sand and playing in the ice cold water.

Trick or Treat!

We went down to Torrance for a trick or treating party at Robyn and Chad's house. It was a lot of fun. Robyn made some yummy chili and cornbread and then we headed out for some candy! Kira thought it was really fun except for a few scary houses and costumes. I couldn't believe all the people trick or treating on their street and all the great decorations - it was crazy!

Family photo... John was pretty freaky with the bullet holes in his head.





Enjoying the fruits of her labor...

Playing dress up

I love fall, especially Halloween. I love planning a costume and dressing up in something wacky or scary. Now I get to plan Kira's costume too and that's even more fun... I think she's going to love it as much as me!

We've had some fun parties so far and have one more to go. We hosted a mini-party a couple weeks ago with our friends Robyn, Chad, Janitsy and Nathaniel and all their little goblins. My camera wasn't charged so you'll have to check out Janitsy's blog for some pics: http://2andahalfandersons.blogspot.com/2010/10/1st-halloween-party-of-season.html

Earlier this week, we joined Janitsy's mommy and me group for their Halloween party. Kira did NOT want to put on her cat ears but she got over it when she realized there were "junes" - her name for candy - to be had. It was lots of fun doing the crafts and hanging out with our friends in Torrance. Thanks Janitsy for planning a fun morning!

Realizing she's getting some Nerds... eating the Nerds...

Trying to get a picture with Sean, Jalen, Stone and Reagan...


Kira had a great time at our ward trunk or treat. She held onto my hand as tight as she could and practically pulled me from car to car. I think by the end she got the whole trick or treating concept.





Can't wait for Robyn and Chad's party!
