Quinn's 2nd Bday (The Day Of)

Quinn woke up to some awesome birthday presents!

1. Daddy took the day off.
2. Granny had come in town the night before.
3. We got her some glass slippers and a Baby Katy to replace her lost one.
4. I got her some goldfish!

She loved her goldfish and Baby Katy, but she was SO excited about her glass slippers. She loves watching the last scene in Cinderella where the glass slipper fits perfectly. Then Quinn screams "Handsome Prince!!" So funny! The slippers were way too big, but she didn't care.

After a yummy donut breakfast and some hanging out at home, we all went to the mall so Granny could get Quinn a Build-a-Bear. She loved watching the whole process, picking out a sparkly dress and shoes and of course putting the bear in its box. We named our bear Princess Sparkles. I just loved that Quinn picked out a bear that looks like the Baylor Bears. The brainwashing is totally working! :)

That afternoon, everyone napped while Mama worked and then we met up with Nannie Mae for dinner at Rosa's. Only in this family do we celebrate with a dinner at Rosa's! Haha! Quinn got pretty tired at dinner and refused to take a pic w/ her two grandmothers, so we got a lovely princess crying pic.





Quinn had an awesome birthday and I felt so blessed all day to share it with her and make her feel special. I love that sweet little toddler girl (even when she makes me crazy)!

Sylestine Halloween (ha...that rhymes)

We had sort of a multi-event Halloween this year. We went to the Riverbend Fall Festival, the neighborhood Halloween festival, carved pumpkins and then of course we went trick-or-treating. Quinn was the most beautiful Snow White princess.

The first time I put her dress on she was not a fan. We talked about it and she was excited, but when I got it on, she wasn't too happy about the tuille. But, she got used to it (I may or may not have bribed her with candy corn).

Riverbend Fall Festival

It was raining that day so they had to move everything inside. It was fun but with all the games, food and bouncy houses inside it was really chaotic and overwhelming. Quinn was really hesitant and a little scared of some of the costumes but she managed to do a few games. She even let one of the volunteers blindfold her for a game. I couldn't believe it! Jeremy had to teach his law school class that night so Nannie Mae and Papa D went with us. PS. She ate Cheetos and candy for dinner that night.

Canyon Creek Halloween Festival

We got to walk to our neighborhood park and play at the festival. Quinn was still skiddish around the creepy costumes so we didn't stay long (and J and I had a date night that night). We had fun chatting with neighbors and seeing some fun animals with the traveling zoo guy.

Pumpkin Carving

I think Jeremy was more excited about this evening than Quinn and me. As you can see, he had selfish motives. Hmmm.

Halloween 

We had such a fun Halloween night! Some of our good friends' came over and Quinn was beside herself getting to trick-or-treat with Sully the monster (a.k.a. her bff, Declan). I love seeing all our friends kids grow up together...like cousins really. Of course poor Ella was tortured all night in her rodeo bull costume. When were were out trick-or-treating, so many people took pics of our dog. It was hilarious!

Can Halloween get any cuter than this?!
