Every year Edwardsville has a Halloween parade on Halloween. This year it wasn't to cold and we had a pretty perfect spot to see everything! We met up with the Purcells to enjoy the parade with them. I am beginning to wonder what we would do without them!!!

Trick-or-Treat
Trick-or-Treat night always falls on Madison's birthday here in Glen Carbon due to the big Halloween parade being on Halloween. So it is always fun for her to dress up for her birthday! Before we went trick-or-treating we had the Purcells' over to carve pumpkins. I think Jenna and I both appreiciated not being huge and pregnant this year!! It's crazy how time flys!
I really didn't get to take many pictures after that of the carving. Grant was hungry, so I feed him. We had trick-or-treaters starting to come, so I handed out candy. Then Madison saw their costumes and wanted hers on, so I got her dressed and ready. Then, I finally got to carve my pumpkin! I think I literally carved it in 5 minutes! Oh well, I think it turned out ok!!
Then trick-or-treating!!!!
Nolan and Madison all dressed up. Nolan was a very cute sack of taters!!
Dopey finally decided to join the group!!Now the fun begins!!
We had a great time carving pumpkins with Jenna, Bill, and Nolan!! We are defiantly starting some traditions. Our new neighborhood was great to trick-or-treat in as well. Everyone decorated their homes and walked the subdivision. I told Mark it was kinda like something out of a movie. It was also nice being able to walk to Uncle Patrick and Aunt Sarah's house to trick-or-treat. I think this house, neighbors, and sub division is going to be a keeper!!!

Princess Madison's 3rd Birthday!
I really can't believe my baby girl is 3 years old already! She is becoming such a little girl with new ideas and new found independence everyday. Madison is obsessed with Disney Princesses, so of course we had to have a princess party for our little princess! One of her favorite princesses is Snow White. But Madison's "n's" are "m's", so we had a "Smow" White birthday party!!! It was a small, low key party with family and a few friends. I feel like we have been working so hard on the house lately, that Madison's party kinda crept up on us. It was worth staying up till midnight, one o'clock every night for the past week to get ready for the party. It was definitely worth it when Madison told me thank you for her birthday party the next day at breakfast. Some days she just seems to amaze me!! My eyes watered just a little! I love you Maddie!! And you are worth it!!
Brooks, Nolan, and Grant enjoying the party! The three boys are all within weeks of each other. Concentrating very hard.
Princess Snow White giving Princess Rapunzel a kiss. We love cousins!!What a cute princess!!
Make a wish!
Mark and I got her a Disney Princess bike with a baby carrier on the back. So far she loves it, but hasn't actually rode it yet. She has already equipped it with a baby in the back and a puppy in the front basket!! Where does she get this stuff? We hope she will get some good use out of it next spring.
Once again our Miss Madison wants for nothing!! She got dress up clothes, many princess dolls, movies, and much, much more. Thanks to everyone who spoils our child!!! She is a very lucky girl, and Mark and I are very lucky to have her!!!
Happy Birthday Princess Madison!!!
We love you very much!!
Mom, Dad, and Grantie
