Halloween 2012

This was Savannah's first Halloween and the first Halloween that Abby was really excited to go trick-or-treating! We started the day off with Doctor checkups. All went good and off to school they went. Abby did trick-or-treating at school and had a class party. Savannah got to participate in the Halloween school parade they had too.

That night we all got dressed up. I was a Surgeon, Abby was Spider Girl, and Savannah was a Turtle. Nick was going to be a Surgeon too, but ended up being a Broncos fan. Nana Barbara and Granny Annie joined us for Halloween trick-or-treating too. We started the night by going to the church festival that is in our neighborhood. Abby played a few games and then was ready to go trick-or-treating. We went to the east side of the elementary school this year to try out some new streets. There were a lot of houses to go to and a lot of people around. Abby trick-or-treated for about 45 minutes before she got tired and wanted to go home. Savannah rode in her stroller and even took a little nap. We were home around 7pm with a pumpkin full of candy!! Both girls were exhausted, but had a fun night! Abby is already thinking about what to dress up as for next Halloween!

Doctor Checkups

Abby had her 5 year annual wellness checkup and Savannah had her 9 month wellness check up on October 31st. Here are the stats:

Abby - Height 47" (97%), Weight 49.7 lbs (96%)
Savannah - Height 31" (over 97%), Weight 22.5 lbs (96%)

Both girls are still growing strong and very healthy. Abby received 2 shots and Savannah only 1 this time. Both girlies cried big time though. We think Abby now really realizes what a shot is and that it hurts. Nick had to almost hold her down for her two shots. Abby also received her hearing and eye test and both are normal! Savannah enjoyed trying to eat the paper on the table and Abby danced around in her Halloween costume while sucking on the flavored sticks that are used to check her throat (not sure of the medical name). Over all a good appointment for both of them!

5 YEARS OLD!!

Abby is officially 5 years old now!! She had her birthday party on October 22nd at Desert Horizon Park from 2pm to 4pm. We got to the park early in the morning to hold the spot. Later in the morning Nana and Granny came to sit while we got ready for the party! There was a purple and pink dream castle bouncy house and Halloween crafts for the kids. All year long Abby has been telling us that she really wanted a piñata at her party!! So Abby picked out a rainbow piñata! Each child got 2 turns to hit the piñata, but we had to leave it up to one of the 7 year old siblings that attended to really bust it open. The kids loved it! Abby also had a rainbow cake and we are happy to say that every kid got a piece of the rainbow to eat! There were about 13 of her friends there and it was a great party!! On Abby’s actual birthday (the 26th) we went to swim practice as usual and then picked up pizza, which is what she requested. Then went home and opened more presents, sang happy birthday and spent the night watching her new movie “Barbie Princess Charm School”. Abby and Mommy really enjoyed watching the movie. Daddy enjoyed his new iPhone instead!
