Happy Birthday Madelyn!

Madelyn turns 4 on November 16th, but today she had her Princess Tea party!  Everyone wore their fanciest attire so Cora wore her Cinderella dress!  Aunt Kelly did a great job putting the party together...it was a royal affair!  Cora was so excited to give Madelyn her present.  Madelyn had been asking for a pillow pet, so that's what Cora wanted to give her!  She picked it out herself and every night she had to pet pillow pet.  She ultimately wanted to keep Madelyn's gift, and is now asking for a purple lady bug pillow pet for Christmas.  She already has 2 pillow pets, I don't know if her bed can hold anymore!  Happy Birthday sweet Madelyn, we love you!!

The Webster Wedding!

This past Saturday, our cousin Doug got married!  It was the perfect day for a wedding and his bride Caitlyn looked beautiful!  Cora was so excited to go to a wedding.  The last wedding she went to she was about 9 months old in New Jersey.  She did not go to the ceremony, but she made her appearance at the reception.  She had such a great time dancing with her cousins and even had a slow dance with a boy!  Joshua was a perfect angel but was WIDE awake looking at all of the lights!  I was trying to get him to fall asleep for the majority of the reception, so of course I took no pictures!  Thank goodness for Aunt Kelly to send me some pictures!  It was a great wedding and we were all exhausted by the end of the night!


Dancing with Uncle Bill!

A Very Nolan Halloween!

We were so busy during Halloween this year, I was exhausted by the time it was all over!  Cora had preschool on Halloween day, so she had a party.  She was so excited for everything that she couldn't nap.  Then we went to a little girl's house in our neighborhood that is in Cora's preschool class and had a party over there.  And then we finally made it to the Nolan household.  Needless to say we had a very tired Snow White by the end of the night!  The Nolans party hard on Halloween, I love it!  Of course Snow White Cora had a blast, and Joshua slept basically the whole time.  He was a tired poisonous apple!  All in all we had a wonderful Halloween and it's crazy to think next year Joshua will be going from house to house too! 

Cora insisted that Lena needed to be dressed up for Halloween this year!

So excited!

My beautiful Snow White!

All ready to eat at Grammy's!

Ready to go out and trick or treat!

My sleepy apple...

Party at the Nolan's!

The two loves of my life!
