DOUBLE DIGITS

M had a little birthday party before we went on our trip.

Here are some pictures:

She took some friends to a movie and then pizza.

They all had a blast 

and are super funny AND cute!

We went to Farrell's Ice cream with Monica.

Monica got her a Nintendo 3DS

which has been on her list for a while...

check out how happy she was (she had tears in her eyes).

VIOLIN PLAYING

When ever M practices her violin 

she gets an audience from all the pets.

Its kinda funny....

I guess they like it. 

BAT FOR HALLOWEEN

M was a bat this year for Halloween.

We went to a pre-Halloween party at one of the neighbors

and then did lots of trick or treating....she got quite the haul of candy!

Of course there was parent tax 

and Hubby and I had a couple of pieces or two.

Our next door neighbors had a post trick or treat party.

They converted their formal living room 

into this really cool bar.

Pretty much the whole neighborhood was there.

Lots of fun and lots of laughing. 

NEIGHBORHOOD KIDS PLAYING TOGETHER

There is a ton of kids in our neighborhood 

and here is some playing soccer together. 

They had a blast. 

CRAZY HAIR DAY

M's school had a crazy hair day

so here she is on the way to school.

Pretty crazy!

MORE PET PICTURES....SO CUTE
