Weekend in Rewind

We celebrated Aunt Kar's birthday--She's amazingly only 21!

Aunt Kar and Violet eating some ice cream


Spenser chillin with his Papa Martin (I love this photo)


Geez--Uncle Tim and Aunt Kar look old for 21 :)



Hanging out at Great Grandma's Waneta's house--Violet's ribbon was a seatbelt and jump rope


Violet trick-r-treating with Bray and Abbey in Alfred. Please notice--no costume. Violet would go up to the houses with the girls and then run back to me saying, "they gave me one!" She did ride in the stroller for a little candy break. At the president of AU's house they were handing out King Size candy bars. I had given Violet a few of the "fun" size candy bars, when she says to me, "Mom, I want to eat big candy!"


Violet's costume was worn for 30 seconds of screaming. I have to say Violet is definitely her own person. She was not swayed by any type of bribery or by peer pressure from her cousins to put on the dog costume. It was only by force that that I got my 30 seconds of "costumed Vi" at the risk of ruining her strong personality and will--was it worth it? We shall see when someday someone offers her a smoke...

Violet's cousin Spense as Boba Fet?


Bray and her friend Gracen at their school Halloween parade


Unforunately, Mike was sober in this photo :)

Papa Al's new glasses



Violet playing Great Grandma Agnes's piano. Hopefully she has Daddy's ear for music.





Violet's first time trick R treating....

Violet ---the next Jane Fonda (we hope)

The picture of Mike with the dog ears (at least that is what they looked like to me) reminded me of the time when my friends and I dressed Mike up as a dog so he could be our mascot! He was sober that time too, of course he was only like 6 or 7, so that was a good thing. Ahhhhh, memories...
