This year Wes' celebrated his birthday a few days early. We started our date time out by going mini golfing. It was fun to get out and do something silly together.
Then we met up with some of his friends for a dinner in down town MV. Good food with good friends. Here's a picture of the tipsy whisky cake I made him. It was a Irish cream chocolate cake, with Irish cream butter cream, topped with Irish cream mascarpone and an Irish whisky ganache drizzle. Sounds tipsy for sure, but those flavors were all very mild. ;)
With candles at dinner. Just celebrating first digits tonight.
The next couple days were filled with school Halloween parties. Here's Emeline enjoying hers.
And here are Adele and Kate all ready for their school festivities.
As usual, Kate opted out of the group photo, but here's the preschool photo with Adele over on the left.
Fun Halloween songs!
On Halloween evening, we did our usual family birthday dinner for Wes, conisiting of our traditional butternut squash raviolis for an easy dinner before trick or treating.
And the family birthday dessert was chocolate cupcakes topped with buttercream and a bacon dark chocolate topper.
Yum!
Trying to take a birthday picture with daddy.
Then we rushed to get ready for the evening. Adele got some more detailed make up for Yoda.
Here she is! She kept calling herself 'Soyoda'. "I'm Soyoda!" she'd say. It was funny at preschool since everyone speak Spanish they kept thinking she was saying "soy Yoda", meaning "I am Yoda".
And here are the 3 all together. We tried to convince Emeline to be princess Leia to go with the Star Wars theme Adele and Kate had picked out, but Leia's costume was not fancy enough for Emeline.
And with Papa the King.
Here they are with some neighborhood friends we went around with.
And by the end of the night, the girls were pretty tired. We had a storm trooper down.
Happy Halloween and Happy Birthday Wes!
