A Minnesota Halloween

We spent Halloween in Minneapolis again this year. We couldn't miss our god-daughter, Gabby's 2nd b-day party! It was a Halloween-themed party, which was an absolute hit for the kids.

Gabby took a swing at her pinata.


So did Gus. But neither of them were strong enough to unleash the candy. Michelle finally resorted to attacking the thing with a scissors, and then ripping it to let the candy loose. Those things are tough to crack!

Happy 2nd birthday, Gabrielle Marie!


And so we've come to one of my favorite photos of 2010. In between the birthday party and trick or treating, Michelle turned on a movie in Gab's playroom. Gus said he 'didn't want to take a nap', so I told him, 'fine, you just need to rest'. About 20 minutes into the movie, I checked on my spidey:

After their naps, they were ready to hit the streets.

You ready? Yep. You ready? Yesss. Let's DO this!


Gabby was Minnie Mouse.

They did pretty good!

Thank you, Goins, for hosting us and for a fun b-day. Gus loved every second of our visit.
