Halloween fun with the Williams!

We stopped by to visit the Williams a few weeks ago and they treated us to an evening of fun. We never get bored of the antics at the Williams home! 

Christian LOVED his first taste of ice cream!

Can you really eat that huge ice cream cone all by yourself, Sage? 

No worries!  Mom's always willing to help out!

The bearded lady

. . . looking very pleased with herself!

Cute Christian

Eliza and her friends show off their witch hairbands

Making some scary witchy faces

Thanks, Williams, for a great night!

Happy Birthday Suz!

A few birthday memories of Suz! 

More of Jonathan

Awesome Arizona and Las Vegas!

It's always an adventure when visiting the Woodburys and Nielsens!

Little Jonathan was a sweetie . . .

although he did have a propensity to stick his finger up his nose every time a picture was snapped
(Did Becca teach him that one???)

 

Christian found a great new toy!

The kids had a blast at the park.

Cute Rebecca

Not pictured: All the cousins in tents in the backyard (although no one actually slept the whole night in them!) and the yummy cookie cereal Janel generously brought for breakfast.

Lily and the other kids enjoyed holding Belle, the Nielsens' bunny.

Eliza showed off some moves

What a cute pair!

Stroller riding in style!

These two had a blast pointing at every airplane and palm tree along the way.

Amy's spooky Halloween eyes!

There are always plenty of games to play at the Nielsen house!

Christian in a demure moment.

Bath time!

These two cousins love to be together

Prayer time.

Not pictured: A rousing game of Bananagrams (I still don't believe voosky is a word, Bryce!), Krista giving Kim an awesome makeover (pictures forthcoming), the Nielsens' spooky moving spider decoration, a trip to Sam's Club for samples, and lots more fun!

Keep watching for more updates on our vacation to Las Vegas and Mesa!

A sneak preview of Jonathan and the Woodburys...

 

Proud Mama and Baby Jonathan!

Nice work you two.







Adorable, hairy man child.



Jacob loves having another boy in the house.





Rebecca and Cindy do too.





The Best Toys Around Here

Eliza has had her sights set on getting one of the next generation of Beanie Babies (with Rapunzel-like eyes-on-steroids).  She saved her money and bought this little seal at Gardner Village.  Eliza was excited about having matching eyes with her new best stuffed animal.

 P.S. Lily is jealous of the newest addition to Eliza's stuffed entourage, and of Sage's three stuffed lambs.  She loves to sneak down to her older sisters' bed while they are at school and borrow their furry friends.


Christian has been really into our princess vanity set.  He loves to pull himself up on it, stand on his tippy toes, and pull the big pink jewel that makes things light up.  (At least in this picture, he's wearing manly Toy Story PJs, so it's okay to post, right?  At least until his friends learn how to surf the internet.)
