Our First Day of Snow this Season

 The kids were so excited to see snow on the ground yesterday morning. A lot of times we get our first snowfall at the beginning of October, so it did hold off a little bit this year. Devon and Lizzy begged me and begged me to let them play outside. I didn't really want to go sit out in the cold, but it was fun to watch them having such a good time. They kept eating the snow (none of it was yellow) and Devon asked me if I wanted some. I declined, saying that I already knew what snow tasted like.

Devon's Birthday Party

 Devon could not wait for his party to start. He kept saying that the people were taking too long to get there. He didn't seem to understand that the party didn't start until 3:00.

 Devon wanted an Avengers cake, so Bryce and I just put some of his Avengers toys on top of it. He specifically asked for a chocolate cake with chocolate icing. I was happy to oblige, since that is my favorite!

 Devon got lots of good presents. Here he just opened The Lorax from Aunt Emily.

 Devon loves the movie The Polar Express, so I bought him the book of it.

 Nanny and Papa got him the movie Rio.

 This was the gift Devon was most excited for: a Spongebob Lego set.

Devon's Birthday

 This was Devon's actual birthday. We had his party the next day. Devon is wearing his new Buzz Lightyear pajamas and holding his new Nemo stuffed animal that Bryce and I gave him.

 We took Devon and Lizzy to a playland called Leo's Place. They had gotten free coupons to play there from the summer reading program. After that we went to Applebee's to eat. Devon had requested it, saying that he wanted grilled chicken and french fries.

 Devon got a birthday crown from school and this paper cake with five candles. He was super proud of both.

Devon is in the birthday club at Toys R Us, so we went there and he got a free balloon and another paper crown. He also had a $3 coupon, so we used it to get the orange dinosaur he's holding.

Pictures of the Kids

Lizzy just looked so cute that I had to take a picture!

 This was Devon's Primary Program day. He had his own little part to say and sang songs with the rest of the kids.

 You can't really see it, but the kids are sitting on Lizzy's play kitchen. They have a fascination with laying it down on the floor and then sitting on it. I have no clue why they decide to do that.

 One day I found the kids sitting in the bathtub for no specific reason. Lizzy was looking at books and Devon was playing with Bryce's ipod. It's funny the things they come up with.

Sorry about the sideways picture, but I did have a request to post a pregnancy picture. This was taken about a month ago when I would've been about 22 weeks along.
