Happy Harvest!

We have been busy harvesting memories over the last month. Bella had her third birthday. She told us she wants to be a chef when she grows up, so we put on a cooking party for her and her best friend, Caroline. The following weekend we dressed the kids up and took them trick or treating. What a month!

Bella and Sam at play:




Welcome to Bella's Birthday Kitchen!



Best Friends:


Decorating the cookies:




Eating the decorations:


Making the pizzas:




Tasting the pizza (hum. . .she always gives Mom-mom's dinners a thumbs-down!)



And Sam got bus-boy duty! (Okay, not really!)



Yummy Ice Cream Cake!


Crazy Nonna!


Bella loves her heels and dress!



Trick or treating! Bella dressed up as her favorite storybook character--Princess Elizabeth from The Paperbag Princess. And Sam, well, he could either go as Prince Ronald (the ego-centric bum) or the trouble-making dragon. We thought the trouble-making dragon was a good fit for him.




Costume difficulties:


Bella is serious about trick or treating!


Sam and his buddies (He has them well trained!)
