Halloween, Nathan's birthday, and Grandma Garner

We had our annual pumpkin carving and pizza party and Grandma and Grandpa Fillmores house. Susanna even got into carving her own pumpkin this year. Those dracula teeth were all the rage.

Our true pumpkin carver and hero who saves mom from doing all the work. I should say any of the work.
Grandpa rigs up this display and all the kids get around their pumpkin creations. Retro basketball player Nathan is on the far side. Look now because he was so busy with friends we didn't get another picture of Halloween of him.

Clara was Alice in Wonderland, darling. Here she is with Zoe and their dracula teeth.

Susanna was Pippi Longstocking this year. We had so much fun making these braids stick out straight.


Eliza was a little 50s girl and loved the whole trick or treat, be cute, and get candy thing. she didn't last long but was happy with her haul.


Nathan turned 11 and had a great birthday with a family party. Grandma Garner came to town and visited for almost 2 weeks. We loved it. She and Aunt Kim gave him a ripstick which is what he really wanted.


He had a huge ice cream cake and had lots of cousins come over to help him eat it. What a great day. He is already planning his party for next year.



Eliza and Grandma Garner were inseperable. She just wanted Grandma to read to her all the time and she did. They loved each other and we were so glad she could come play. We wish she could come more often.
