after the weekend: the first of the winter birthdays

I'm happy to report that our weekend party was a success. Lots of food, fun, family.
I didn't snap many photos (too much in the moment, I guess) but above is what I did take over the weekend. Those picutres of the munchkin standing next to the bookshelf? She was watching Kung Fu Panda 3 for the first time. Totally enthralled is not even the right word (but the closest I can get) to how she reacted.

On another note, Happy Halloween! It's not too cold outside and there's no snow so it seems like it might be a nice night to go out. The little sisters are coming over (the same as last year) and we are all going to dress up and go trick or treating for a bit.

I have a busy morning ahead, so I'm off in a rush to begin tackling my long to-do list.

Have wonderful Monday! 

p.s Rosie (another Rosie-not me ;) ) has a fun giveaway going on, over here.
