Happy 4th Birthday Hannah!

We went to Ft Worth for Hannah's birthday this weekend. We planned on leaving right after school on Friday, but as you can see from a previous post, we had some plumbing "issues" we needed to tend to before leaving town. When Sarah comes to visit, she always feeds and bathes the girls, puts their PJs on and leaves around 7:30. They usually sleep most of the way, and they make it in 3.5 hours. We, on the other hand, drive during the day, get stuck in traffic, make 2 potty breaks, 1 feed-the-baby break, 1 I'm-so-hungry-I-may-die break, and arrive 5 hours later. So, the septic emergency prompted us to embrace the driving at night approach, and sure enough, it was an easy 3 hour drive.

We went straight to Tony & Milena's on Saturday morning (after Brad let me sleep late, of course), and the party started at 11am. Hannah's party theme of choice was Nacho Libre (she loves loves loves Nacho), and Tony & Milena bought all the kids luchador costumes the last time they visited Mexico (and Sarah made the tiny baby masks.) Milena had cut out and hung miles of prayer flags, and made not only a big Nacho pinata, but tiny star-shaped pinatas for each of the kids. She is Un.Be.Lievable. We ate Tony's yummy fajitas and homemade salsa, and enjoyed Sarah's Nacho Libre cupcakes (she made all those toppers herself...)


We ran home and took naps, then went back out for Trick or Treating. We just went around the block in Sarah's neighborhood, and it was just perfect - the kids had little paper bags, and we told them when the bags were full, we'd go home. Everyone loved their costumes, and I'm quite sure we will have numerous wrestling matches in our living room over the next few months.



Today we attempted to take a photo for my mom's Christmas card, while Brad and Alf went to the climbing gym. I'm pretty sure we'll be having another photo shoot at Gray's birthday next weekend. Unless, of course, my mom wants THIS on her Christmas card...
