I LOVE fall … especially here in the northwest. We’ve had a beautiful fall so far with lots of crisp, cool, and sunny days. On the way home from the store this morning I had to take a picture of our street to capture all of the beautiful fall color right here in the neighborhood. I guess one reason I like fall is because it is the start to all the fun holidays.

First, we started off with Ethan’s first birthday! We have been told by so many that the time with your kids will fly by, and it has. I really can’t believe how fast the time has gone and how much Ethan has changed in one year. We had a little ‘combined’ birthday party with one of Ethan’s play buddies (they are 2 days apart). He had a lot of fun having a few friends over to play and cake was not so bad either. We also had our cousins over on his actual birthday for some more cake and ice cream. Can’t have too much of that!
Carving pumpkins ... oooey, gooey!
Trick-or-Treating at our neighbor's home ... they always decorate well for the holidays.
Checking out the finished jack-o-lantern.
Mr. Monkey, complete with a banana in the pocket.
Next was Halloween, which technically was not Ethan’s first, but last year he was only 10 days old so we just chilled at the house and gave out candy. This year Ethan was able to participate a bit more and had a blast, which of course makes it all the more fun for us. As you can see from the pics Ethan was a monkey. He loves monkeys so when I found this costume I figured it was perfect. We also carved a little pumpkin … a first for Ethan and Jairo. Pumpkin carving is not big in Colombia, in fact, Jairo says he’s not even sure if they have pumpkins in Colombia, and I guess I’ve been too much of a Halloween scrooge in the past initiate pumpkin carving. Anyway, Ethan had fun figuring out trick-or-treating. He just enjoyed all the social part of Halloween.
So last, we have the anticipation of Thanksgiving … one of my faves.
