Nadia’s Build a Bear Party

Nadia wanted to have a Build a Bear party this year and invite a smaller group. We ended up with all girls who do Taekwondo and that was fun! The staff at Build a Bear did a great job and the kids all had a lot of fun.

This made the girls crack up. They each had to do the moves on the extra heart to go inside Nadia’s bear.

Singing “Happy Birthday” once the bears were done. It was really fun and we are so glad that Nadia’s friends could join us last weekend!

Nadia’s 9th Birthday Cake!

Nadia’s request for this year was a Minecraft Cake. Whoa! Around 400 tiles and a screen caputre printed on icing paper with edible ink. (I bought that from a local cake supply store) Once I started to build it I realized that I didn’t have enough tiles so Nadia helped me crank out another 100 or so.

Halloween Weekend 2015

We went to see Grammie at the Halloween party they had at the assisted living place where she lives.

We also went to the Halloween party at Excel Taekwondo. This is Master Valdez as the Mad Hatter with the girls.

Nadia and Issac at the Halloween class for Excel. His costume is perfect.

Then on Halloween we went trick or treating with a group of friends from church.

The great candy exchange after trick or treating.

Mike and I in our full costumes. Between rules of “no face masks” for adults and me forgetting items of my costume, this was the only time we had it all perfect.
