Halloween and Georgia's PARTAY!

 So...if you can't tell I am a little behind.  Halloween was really fun this year!! I am really going to take advantage of Georgia letting me choose her Halloween costume as long as I can.  She was a magical unicorn this year.  We did lots of fun things for Halloween.  Nick's school did a fun Halloween party for all of the families with kids in law school.  I can't believe how many people have kids in law school.  I thought we were the minority!  It was so fun.  They decorated the law school and the hallways and it was so fun!  Georgia got lots of candy (correction---WE got lots of candy!) 
 We got to go trick-or-treating with the Stones after the annual Ballantyne party that Nick and I are so graciously invited to every year!  (Thanks for all these pics Autumn by the way!)  I am too lazy to download my own. :) She is our family photographer these days!
 And for Alena's Birthday we got to get together for a yummy lunch and dress the kiddos up in their costumes.  It was so fun.  I love these girls and life wouldn't be the same without them!
I made Unicorn Poop cookies.  A girl said they were good but kind of gross.  Nobody wanted to eat them because of the name.
 Georgia's Birthday was so much fun...at least for her it was really fun.  She had a blast playing with all of her friends.  She loved the birthday cake (see the video below).  And I think it all came together well.  We had lots of people come and celebrate.  I have pictures on my camera but don't feel like uploading them right now so here are a few.  (most from Autumn). ;)
 We also got to watch the Sloan Fam for a few days.  Aka "Slart" Family Reunion.  We love them and feel like they are our second family.  Georgia was getting used to the idea of having siblings (not yet though) ;)
 We went to Discovery Place with the Sloans and I remembered Alena saying how much June loved the fish tank.  Well Georgia loved it too!  She could have stood there for hours. 
 Here are some pics of the party decorations.  I should have gotten more...but oh well. 

 And we have been enjoying the scenery out here.  The Saturday after Thanksgiving we met Shannon and Brian and Ski in Asheville.  Nick and I went to Chimney Rock before we met up with them and it was gorgeous.  Forgot to get a picture with the cousins dangit!!

 And last but not least...the young women who completed the Book of Mormon this summer got to do this awesome day at the White Water Rafting Center.  We went paddle boarding and it was awesome.  I just love the girls! They are darling.  Only 11 finished but we have 25 girls in young women now.  I can't believe how much it has grown over the past year.

 And...the ward Christmas party seeing Santa.  I didn't think Georgia would be scared but she didn't like the ol' man!!
