I'm not gonna lie...it kinda stinks that Katie's birthday is on Halloween. I don't know why the doctor couldn't have waited another hour to deliver her so she would have been born November 1st instead. Oh well. The little stinker wasn't due until December 7th anyway so we were just glad she was okay.

She wanted to have a birthday party with her friends this year so I let her invited her preschool class to her party. She had 8 of her friends come and 5 cousins and her brother and sister so there were 16 kids total! Surprisingly these younger kids were much more well behaved than the 8-year old group for Brandon's birthday.
She wanted a Tinkerbell birthday so I made a pin the Tinkerbell on the flower game and we went on a treasure hunt for Tinkerbell's lost treasure (glow in the dark bracelets) and we had a Tinkerbell pinata. I made her a Tinkerbell cake that I think turned out pretty good. She loved it and the fairies are stampers so she gets to keep them and make pretty pictures with them :) I just can't believe my baby is 5!
For Halloween this year Brandon was a ninja and Emmy and Katie were both Barbie princesses. What a surprise...not really. The girls were super excited that I put make up on them before they went trick-or-treating. We also went to a trunk-or-treat/chili cook-off at church and we went trick-or-treating to the local businesses in Windsor. Let's just say we got PLENTY of candy!

Oh, and I won the chili cook-off at my husband's work again this year and I won the chili cook-off at church the next day :o) This chili recipe is a 6-time winner!
