Halloween 2011

So technically this is Trace’s 2nd Halloween, but last year we had just come home from the hospital so we missed out on the festivities. Gene and I were SUPER excited because this was the first year in 4 years to go Trick or Treating together! Trenton was sick his first year, I took him his second year while Gene handed our candy, last year I had just had Trace so we swapped! We were very glad that we decided to not hand out candy and watch Trenton and his friends run around like we did when we were little! Trace enjoyed watching everyone from the stroller. Next year we will be chasing him around too! So we had a little last minute costume change for Trace. He was suppose to be a giraffe, but apparently has grown since I tried it on him. Some friends had just given us some clothes and the cutest frog costume was in there!

Ribbit! He loved it!

Trenton LOVES super heros. He LOVES costumes so needless to say he picked the most awesome Super Hero there is:

OPTIMUS PRIME!

Birthday Cake

We had a mini birthday celebration on Trace’s actual birthday. I made spaghetti (his favorite & yes he told me this!) and bought this really sweet cake from Kroger. I think it’s important to have birthday cake on your actual birthday! Gene unfortunately had to miss it because he had to work late, but the neighbors were happy to eat his portion of cake! Trace got to enjoy cake at school and then at home too! Lucky kid!

The kids were singing Happy Birthday to him so no luck getting him to look at me!

Big Brother insisted on helping (you know since he is a PRO)

Birthday 014

Trace LOVES dogs. This one is kind of funny and kind of scary at the same time. He rolls on the floor laughing, but is motion censored so he will roll when you walk by, unexpected, scary the life out of you!

Birthday 017

Only 1 more birthday post to come and that is for his FABULOUS FISHY Party we are having this weekend!
