Sophia's birthday dinner party

With our birthday girl.

Sophia asked for a "Dora the Explorer" birthday.

Ready for the party!

Time for dinner.


Then it was time for presents. Our girl is pro at opening cards and presents!


Look at that face! So excited...

Singing to our girl...

Party people.







Sophia ended the night by entertaining the crowd with some singing and dancing.

We had a fun time celebrating Sophia's birthday with the Supper Club members last Tuesday at our house. Sophia chose the dinner menu and requested a Dora themed cake. She opened gifts and sang and danced the night away!

Sophia really got "birth week" started off on the right foot! Grammy and Pop took Sophia to church, lunch, and to the mall for a photo shoot, shopping, and Build-A-Bear. The birthday girl had a blast and she is so proud of her new pal, Lollipop! Thanks, G and P for treating our girl to a special day!

Time to party!

Fun and games at the WFS children's Halloween party.

All the kiddos...


Ready for Toddler Trick-or-Treating around all of the offices in the Walker Building.


Peek-a-BOO!

Katherine and her cute firehouse dog.

Captain Hook and Tinkerbell.

A group shot of all the little ones minus Henry who was taking a cat nap in the Baby Bjorn...

The candy stop by the Financial Aid office...it was a scary sign for all of the parents!!

The good and scary witches head to the Headmaster's office .

We ran into another witch!

Treats from Tracey.

The lovely ladies of the Student Store.

After Trick-or-Treating we stopped by to see Daddy and to grab some lunch.

Look who's awake!



After naps we headed into town. Our first stop was Grammy and Pop's house where we all got lots of treats!


Sibling snuggles! (Henry decided to spend the rest of the evening as a pumpkin.)

Our next stop was Jean's house...and we got to visit with lots of our buddies!




Our last stop was to see our cousins. Cassidy and Miles (and friend, Helen) were getting ready to hand out candy. (By this point, little Henry was taking another nap.)

Posing with Emmie - Emmie and I spent every Halloween together when we were kids. Great memories with this girl!

Then it was back to the Forest for one last round of Trick-or Treating. Raph took Sophia around while Henry and I passed out candy to all the ghosts and goblins. It was an action packed, busy day but oh so much fun!
