Happy Halloween



Our little butterfly fairy had a magical Halloween. Ben had to work, so we started off the evening on our own. A neighbor down the street had a little cookout, so we went there for some fun play in the backyard.


On her royal fairy throne

Trick or treat! The first house she went to, she walked up to the woman and said, "Happy Birthday!" I had to correct her that it wasn't that kind of party.

Ben met us at the end of our trek around the neighborhood, so was able to have the Halloween family experience too. We then rushed home to meet Grandma (Ben's Mom). We were lucky enough to have an adult weekend while Esther enjoyed a visit w/ Grandma and Poppi. Ben and I dressed up as Earl and Joy from the t.v. show, My Name is Earl. We went to a friend's house, then went downtown to see our favorite local bluegrass band, Packway Handle Band (you may remember Esther dancing at one of there shows this summer). We had a great time!


We picked Esther up this morning and headed back to Athens for the Fall Festival at the GA Nature Center. Our good friends and great band, Dubconscious, played (they played our wedding too). All the bands played solely off of solar power. Esther had fun dancing and playing with the rocks. Ben and I enjoyed having E back with us and seeing many friends we haven't seen in a while.

We both enjoyed some cuddle-time after our time apart

Boogie! (and, yes, Ben shaved the awful mustache)

Hope yours was fun and spooky too!

She is such a cutie!!! And I LOVE the butterfly shots. They are amazing. I don't know if you still use your UGA email, but we're doing a brunch this Sunday at 11am. I hope you guys can make it! Berry pancakes, turkey bacon and mimosas :)

Man, E makes quite a cute little butterfly princess! You guys' costumes were pretty sweet too, very original. Although, I think Ben should have kept rockin the mustache. Hope you guys are doing well. We're looking forward to seeing you all soon! Thanksgiving shindig perhaps? Also, we wanted to talk to you guys about New Years plans. Love, Josh, Rachel, & Jay
