Twilight and Santa Claus

Okay, Good Morning everyone! So who's seen New Moon? Thanks to my girlfriends for going to the midnight movie with me! It was such a blast to hang out with y'all!
It was raining Thursday night which really reminded me of last November hanging with my girlfriends in Washington and watching Twilight! I miss all you guys! For old times sake - here's some pics in memory of my Twilight movie beginnings! (Wow - I was pregnant last year. That feels like it was FOREVER AGO!)

As for the movie - I really liked it!

Moving on...
Thursday night Annalyn and I went to the City of Katy Tree Lighting! It was so fun! Here's pic of Annalyn with Santa.

A lot of other babies were crying and screaming on Santa's lap - My Annalyn...not even close.

I set her on Santa's lap and all she wanted to do was pull on his beard (which was real btw). It was so cute. When he finally held her hands down for the picture she was like, "hey buddy - what you doin?" It was so cute!

Here's some pics of us by the tree - it was massive so I cut the pic down to size and you can only see lights behind us, but I thought it was really cute of my Annalyn!

Here's Annalyn with the free stuffed cow she got from Chick-fil-a! She loved it!

Happy Halloween 2009!

Happy Halloween Everyone!
Love,
Little Bo Peep and her Cute Little Sheep!
My happy little lamb at the Ward Dinner and Trunk-or-Treat!
Look at her two little teeth!
Annalyn's not too sure about this holiday...she didn't love the hood to her costume much - that's for sure :-)
20+ years ago my mom took a bag of cotton balls and dressed my sister Dawni and I as sheep (cheap yet effective) and she went as Little Bo Peep. Well, here I am 20+ years later recreating it with my own little girl! I used a bag of cotton balls, an old white onesie, and some hot glue! (The pink was my own *Sherise can't resist* touch)
Here is Annalyn "high-centered" under the table at the Ward Chili Cook Off!
Annalyn fell asleep in carseat on the way home - the epitome of precious!
Thanks mom for sending me your dress! It was so fun to recreate this memory wearing the same dress that you wore! It was actually really fun to dress up!

So here's Annalyn's Halloween Day Outfit! Awwww!Here's Annalyn with my friend's husband Ryan - they bonded! (I love how Ryan hiked her pants up to her armpits...my very own "urkle" - haha) Here's Annalyn's buddies - Thanks guys for sharing Halloween dinner with us! Then we went trick-or-treating with them around the neighborhood.

(Translation: we watched the boys go up to the door and get candy. I figured if Annalyn got candy, I would just end up eating all of it and that didn't sound like a very good idea. Why tempt myself right?) Well, lo and behold... Keaton dropped his grape sucker on the floor after we got home and Annalyn was on it like a fly on manure (okay that's a bad analogy...but it'll have to do). Seriously though, I have never seen her crawl so fast. She got to it before I could stop her and thus we see the result. Halloween has now become her favorite holiday!! I let her suck on it long enough to get a picture and then took it away - oh priceless!
Another "thus we see"--- here is what happens when you go Old Navy Sale Shopping with your best friend! Loved it Emily! Thanks for helping me pick out that shirt!


Happy Halloween from Sherise, Travis, and Annalyn! Hope yours was "spooklacular!!"
