Makaylee was begging me to try Nyah's Halloween costume on.

Fall fun

Going to courthouse to make it official!

home to Papa and Nana's for more eating- Papa pulls the bouncy horse out of the attic for Nyah

Makaylee and Daddy playing with her Disney Princesses from her friends

The boys decide that if Daddy is playing with girl toys, its okay for them too :)

Celebrate!

We had a big party at the Spaghetti Factory to celebrate Nyah's birthday and Makaylee's adoption the next day.

Don't you just love family?!

Makaylee was glowing all night!

First Party

Makaylee was so proud of the cake she made her sister.

She did a pretty good job on it, I think. It was leaning, but that was my fault b/c when we were taking it out of the pan, some stuck to the bottom.

How do you delete photos you forgot to rotate?

first taste of frosting

Its a hit!

Happy Birthday to You!

Now what do I do?

Not so sure about cake...

Actually, this is pretty good stuff.

Anyone want ice cream?

Did someone say ice cream?

She loves ripping books but we had a hard time getting her to rip her wrapping paper off.

more interested in the paper

So cute!

So funny- was watching herself in the skylight and clapping!
