And the Celebrations Continued...

After Olivia's party, the O&Hs stayed for a bit for a pizza party and then the moms took the big kids while Reuben and Mat stayed home playing video games with the three "sleeping" babies (unfortunately for them, all three woke within a half hour of us being gone...so much for Batman time...).

We walked the four blocks down to the Baptist church to enjoy their "Harvest Festival".
Those Baptists know how to party, they had six bounce houses, rooms full of games, treats, and lots more...

The next day we headed down to Jared and Camille's to celebrate their birthdays a little more...

After cake and ice cream, it was pinata time!

All the kids got a turn...

I thought it would be over with Linsey (she hit it really hard!!!)
Or at the most with Hunter (just look at the dedication under that bandana!)

But you want dedication? This is what dedication looks like...especially when there is a garage full of people chanting your name.

And this...she could not have been happier...
And this little girl, so tired from her week of celebrating could barely open presents. Luckily, Austin was there to give her some support.


But the party had to go on...for the next day was FINALLY Halloween! I think this is the longest/most I've celebrated Halloween. When I told Olivia that today was Halloween, she could barely believe it, she was so excited. We went to Microsoft and trick-or-treated along with pretty much all of the eastside (about half of the people there hand out candy, that's a lot of candy!)
And after a pizza dinner with the Hartleys (thanks for having us), we went trick or treating just a little more in a picturesque little neighborhood. After about ten houses (running to ten houses), Supergirl was done. Captain America generally ran in the other direction, refused to hold his bucket, and gave candy back to people (maybe he'll get it next year). So with a bucket full of candy, we headed home!
And today we rested!!!
