My big girl turned two at the end of October. Her birthday party was on Halloween, so all of her friends came dressed up. Madeleine, who insisted on wearing her turtle costume every day for the entire month of October, only wore her costume for about five minutes the day of Halloween. Of course!
The party was luau themed, so of course we had sand and seashells.

The beautiful and talented Auntie Karen (all of these pictures are taken by her, or at least by her camera).
Dressed up for trick or treating. Humphrey had to suffer wearing his bee costume for another year.
We had a great weekend filled with friends and family. My favorite part of the party was when Madeleine took a break from opening presents to look up and see everyone watching her. She said, "look at all the friends!"
