Pics for the fam

It's been a while, and so much has gone on around here. I'm knee-deep in cake batter while I try to practice my mad-hatter cake skills before Raina's b-day, so I don't have the time to do a proper blog. Here are a few pics to hopefully hold the grandparents over until I can put up an insane amount of vids :)

Here's Raina trying her hand at pumpkin painting. We did this on a day where we were stuck inside because of the weather. VERY rarely do we not go out SOMEWHERE in the morning. The painting time started off very well...she was very excited...but about 20 minutes into it, there was nothing but screaming and tears. Severe cabin fever must be hereditary.



We went to a farm one weekend...one that had a tractor ride and petting zoo and pumpking patch and all sorts of other neato stuff. The petting zoo was BY FAR her favorite attraction there. She got up close and personal with goats, a pig, a rabbit, ducks, and chickens. We brought home 2 pumpkins (which I'm still in the process of "decorating") and a batch of apple cider that made both mom and dad a little, um, yucky in the tummy. Raina, too, for that matter! But it was good :)








Here she is at her friend, Mikayla's, 1-year b-day party. Since that day, she has become quite enamored with the Happy Birthday song and insists that we sing it all the time (with Mikayla's name!).


That's all for now.
