A day full of parties

Today was a day full of parties.  This morning was Handley's fall party at school.  She was thrilled to wear her Little Red Riding Hood costume and I couldn't wait to see her dressed up in her class with all of her friends.

 Her teachers also dressed up, which all the kids loved.  They were Peace and Quiet!  So creative and I thought it was such a great idea.

 Her party had a pizza lunch, fruit, cupcakes and lots of fun.  After lunch they all made orange and black bead bracelets and then played pin-the-nose on the jack-o-lantern.

While I was at Handley's party, Mimi took Harper and Hudson to Harper's gymnastics class.  She has recently moved up to the big kid class (previously she did the mommy and me class).  She is SO proud and excited to be doing the class by herself and following along with the teachers.  I'm impressed by how well she follows directions and does exactly what she is supposed to be doing.

Later that day we hosted our playgroup's Halloween party.  We did many of the same activities I had planned for their school parties and enjoyed lots of yummy snacks too.

These two BFF's were excited to be dressed like twins.

My friend, Christy, made these awesome pumpkin cookies for all of the kids at the party!

After the party Trey and Stefanie came over for dinner and to visit for a little while.  Uncle Trey did is usual job of getting the girls totally wound up right before bed, but I have a hard time stopping him because they just have SO much fun with him.
