Buzz, Buzz, Buzz...

First of all, a million thanks to my fantastically talented BFF Emily for re-doing my blog for me. I love the new design! She is so talented and creative and I always love it when she gives me something that she has made or designed (i.e. she has given me some ADORABLE personalized stationery). If anyone is looking to spice up their blog, Emily is your lady! She also designed her own blog, which you can check out here.

Now, onto Halloween! Sofia borrowed a costume from my friend Kelli's daughter Elizabeth, and it was a hit! She was the best looking bumblebee in town. She loved to look at herself in the mirror in her costume....she knew it was pretty impressive.

Jimmy and I took her to a family fair in the afternoon. There were booths for the kids and lots of information for parents, some bounce houses, trick or treating, and a costume contest. We even found a consignment shop in one of the rooms selling gently used toys and books and games for kids. We were able to score some birthday gifts for her for quite a bargain!

I also met up with some friends from work to take her Trick or Treating. We had so much fun (even though we went a little too early and were hard pressed to find anyone ready for Trick or Treaters...still awesome). Sofia had fun hitting the town with Avery the ladybug and Cameron as their bodyguard.

After Trick or Treating we went out to eat with GiGi and Great Harry and Aunt Jan and Uncle Randy. I was supposed to cook dinner for them, but the day did not go as planned, and I basically failed at that so we went out to eat instead. She LOVED all of the attention from her great grandparents and great aunt and uncle and she had a blast walking around the restaurant, showing off her costume. All in all, a successful first Halloween!
