Wee witches festival

Today we all got up early and got ready to meet up with the Darais's and the Anderson's at Gardner Village for the Wee Witches Festival this weekend.  Abe even made Natalie a little broom stick, it was so sweet of them!  When we got there Lily let Natalie wear Mary's witches hat.  It was so nice of her!  It was so much fun.  We let the kids run around and see all the witches and do the scavenger hunt.  The boys had a lot of fun seeing all the stuff especially the giant bubbles!  Natalie was rather ornery the whole morning.  She didn't get a nap yesterday which was filled with tons of wedding festivities.  And we didn't get back home till about midnight.  She did fall asleep in the car for a bit, but probably around 11 so still a really late night for her.  She was pretty cranky when I woke her up this morning and it just carried through her whole morning.  When she went for her nap, she just passed out!

the super cute broom that the Darais's made for Natalie. 

Dancing on the witches stage.  She thought that was pretty cool

you can see by the "excitement" on her face how her morning went.  Usually she loves to dress up and go see fun things, but not this morning sadly.

We came home for some pizza, a nap and then a fun trip to the B street Park, where we met some fun members from our ward.

I love my kiddos

I put this picture up, as embarrassing as it is for me.  But I suck terribly at hemming anything, and since El did so much hemming on his mission, here is my husband hemming our daughter dress that she ripped at the wedding.  I just had to take a picture, because I really am amazed the skills this guy has!  The plethora of benefits from serving a mission I guess.
