Our Halloween festivities kicked off on Monday when we hosted our playgroup at our house for a Halloween party. We've had several families move away so our playgroup is now a fairly small intimate group; however, we've added a few baby brothers in the past year so we're almost back to our original size. We had a fun afternoon carving pumpkins, eating junk food, and playing in the backyard.

After the party we had a mini birthday celebration for Grams. Savannah had been waiting all day to sing Happy Birthday and watch Grams blow out her candles. Savannah absolutely LOVES birthdays. In fact, one of her baby dolls has a birthday almost daily with either a cookie or cupcake complete with a candle and song. I'm hoping this means she'll actually want blow out her own birthday candles this year at her party.
Savannah's preschool had their Halloween parade and party on Wednesday morning. Grams, Walker, and I were able to stick around after drop off to watch the brief parade. Savannah looked so cute in her new princess dress. I had just stumbled across this dress the day before at Home Goods and I just had to buy it. Savannah didn't take it off for at least two days straight. Needless to say, the fairy costume that she had planned to wear for Halloween didn't stand a chance next to this new dress.

Halloween was on Thursday which was also Grams' last day with us so we spent most of the day getting things put together for Savannah's 4th birthday party. It's so much easier to do all that stuff when I have an extra pair of crafty hands around. After a quick pizza dinner we headed out trick-or-treating. Savannah is now a pro at this. In fact, she really didn't even need us around. She met up with her friend Alyssa, who lives down the street, and off they went. Walker wasn't too impressed with the whole ordeal. He managed to sit in the wagon until we made it to the end of our street, which isn't very far, and then he moved into my pouch where he stayed nice and snug for the next hour. Savannah went to every house in our neighborhood and got way too much candy. It's a good thing her birthday party is coming up so I can transfer off all this leftover candy to the piñata :)
