Introducing.... MAX

Max is our new Elf!! We were given the box set "The Elf on The Shelf" as a gift today. SO CUTE! You get a little elf guy and a story that explains what he does. Basically he watches you all day to see if you have been good or bad. Then at night while you are asleep he flies to the North Pole to let Santa know if you were good or bad. You arent allowed to touch your elf cause then his Christmas magic will go away. And in the morning when you wake up its a game cause your elf will hide in a new spot and you have to be the first to find him. So Kaiya decided to name her shelf elf Max... and she LOVES him!

Our trip to Oregon.. in pictures!

cousins!

Here are some cute pics of Kaiya and her cousin Tanner taken last weekend... Tanner is 4 weeks older than Kaiya. They had soooo much fun together.. if you couldnt tell! :)

costume change

For months now Kaiya has wanted to be Cinderella for Halloween. We even bought the costume back in July so we were sure to have it. We have done a couple events now for Halloween where she could dress up in her Rella costume. Yesterday though I went to old navy and got a $5 dollar off any purchace coupon.. Well their costumes were on sale for $5 so I got a kitty cat one thinking Kaiya could use to to play dress up and such in. She loves it. So today we got to do yet another Halloween event and she chose to wear that one. Good thing too cause it was sooooo cold! Who knows which costume shell want to wear on Halloween, Im leaning more towards the kitty! :)

Halloween Party!

On Friday we had a little Halloween party at my friend Stephanie's house. There were 5 girls total who came. Kaiya, Kate, Nina, Lilly, and Abby. (oh yeah.. and Lilly's baby sister Anna)
The girls had lots of fun playing together. They ate cookies, made a pumpkin face, colored, made candy necklaces, and ate more cookies!
