Family Pictures 2013

Fall Bucket List

Fall is definitely here and I want my family to be able to make the most of it!

I made a bucket list so we can enjoy every second of the season.

I printed and put our bucket list in a picture frame. When we have completed an item from our list the kids can use a dry erase marker to mark it off. I cant wait for all the memories my family will be making this fall.

Feel free to use our fall bucket list for your family.

  

Fall Leaves

There is something so refreshing about the seasons changing. I love fall. The colors are beautiful, the clothes are cozy, and the food is delicious.

 Last weekend my hubby decided it was time to rake up some of the leaves that had been gathering in our yard. Whenever he rakes he always makes sure to make a least one pile of leaves for the kids to play in. I love taking pictures of the kids playing in the leaves. It has become a tradition that I look forward to every year.

 

Aiden's Spooky 6th Birthday

Over the weekend Aiden turned 6... I can't believe that I just said that! The last six years have flown by. How did my baby become a big boy?

 

When I first started planning his party he decided he was going to have a dragon party. Which changed into a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle party and then into a spooky themed party. Spooky themed party in October? Yes please!

 

Most of the decorations I was able to find at the dollar store and everything else was stuff that I already had.

 Mummy Cupcakes

I have seen these all over Pinterest and decided to make one. Aiden loved it and insisted that we keep it out until after Halloween

 I found the eyes at the dollar store and just put them in a jar with food coloring and water.

I used my Silhouette to cut out these bats last minute and my awesome hubby helped me hang them up.

The party favors!

 

The party was a huge hit with Aiden and his guests. He was spoiled rotten and had a great time.

After the party Aiden asked if we could have a camp out in the living room. I love that he still wants to have family camp outs. We stayed up late playing with his new toys, eating snacks, and watching TV. We even got to sleep in a little bit!
