Sarah's birthday and Hallowe'en

Sarah had a pirate themed party this year - to celebrate the fact that she's wearing a patch. We had 6 of her friends here and we made a pirate hat and decorated it, had a treasure hunt and played some games.




Pirate cake. I was trying for blue-ish water but it just didn't work out. So we went with green...more Caribbean-like anyway.


Sarah and her stack of presents. What a lucky girl!

Some fall pictures...










Sarah got a doctor's kit from Grandma and Grandpa Holm for her birthday. We're all a little tired of getting shots for everything (that's what I get for vaccinating her against H1N1!) but she sure loves that kit and doctoring!

For Hallowe'en Sarah had three different costumes. At school she was a princess. Here she is with two of her school friends:




For ballet class she was a cat...

and for trick or treating she was a firefighter. 



Grandma and Grandpa handed out candy at our house so Dale and I could take the kids out around the neighbourhood. Margot was a beaver and wasn't all that impressed with what was going on. She didn't scream her head off like Sarah did though. True to her personality she suffers quietly and rarely registers a complaint.
