~Baby Lily and Halloween~

I had another doctor appointment today but everything was normal and there's nothing new to report so I'm going to take a break from the pregnancy posts and blog about two other exciting events!  On Tuesday, October 30th my brother and his wife unexpectedly welcomed their first little angel to their family 1 month early.  She is the sweetest little peanut ever!



Our little Lily weighed in at 5 pounds 10 ounces and 18 1/2 inches long and despite being 4 weeks early, she didn't have to spend one minute in the NICU.  Everything about her was perfectly healthy--just in miniature size!  Mommy and baby are doing fantastic and we are so happy she's part of our family!  Congrats, Blake and Staci!

The weekend before Halloween a group of our High School friends got together and held our 2nd Halloween party and it was lots of fun!  Zach and Heidi aka Fred and Wilma were the generous hosts and put on a great party!  I always love seeing the clever costumes everyone comes up with.

 

Logan and I definitely win the prize for the most boring costumes and that's totally my fault!  He's so busy with school and work and I had absolutely no energy to put something more exciting together.  This picture doesn't show our shirts very well but mine has a skeleton baby on the tummy and Logan's has a cheeseburger and fries haha.  We also had a pumpkin carving contest (each couple did one together) and I think they turned out great!

My personal favorite is the Tyler's BYU pumpkin! I think it turned out awesome!

Unfortunately nobody backed up the Andersen's fun pregnancy announcement from last year's Halloween party but the food, fun and good company definitely made up for that!  Thanks again, Zach and Heidi!  I'm already looking forward to next year's festivities!

Halloween night we were able to enjoy a quiet evening with just the two of us and a few trick-or-treaters until our candy ran out and we had to turn off the porch light.  The night ended perfectly with an opening night win for the Jazz!

On Sunday Logan and I are flying to Disneyland with his family for a few quick days and we are really looking forward to it!  I'm sure it will go by way too fast but the break will be much needed and fun for both of us.  More on that when we get back!
