Halloween Costumes

We had a great time trick or treating again this year. We certainly missed Uncle David, who is stuck in New Jersey, and Uncle Jewels, Braden and Gillian. Braden is sick and Gillian stayed with them to supervise. I am sure we have enough candy to share! The weather was perfect and I think there was better candy in the neighborhood this year (lots of chocolate with peanut butter.) One house was even giving out sodas - the kids got a kick out of that one.
Here are the kids modeling their costumes.

Mackenzie is a Hippy Witch decked out from head to toe in glam and glitter right down to the dangling spider earrings.

Abigail, a princess of course, dressed as Ariel this year. Wish I had a picture of her shoes which literally light up when she walks.

Morgan is a perfect pumpkin! Thanks to the Venkers who gave her this cute costume.

Maddie broke the gender barrier (this from the girl who was a fairy princess for years) and went as a Nascar driver - Jeff Gordon. Many gave her a hard time for her choice of drivers. One thing I can say - she did pick a winner.

Sean is dressed as an adorable dinousaur. All smiles for the camera.

Halloween




I think it is love at first sight. Dinosaurs love pumpkins!



The whole crew after trick or treating. Braden was sick (poor thing!) and Gillian was home supervising the candy distribution with Jewels.

Gators go home.

Getting ready to go home. A typical girl already practicing for her wedding day has "something old, something new, something borrowed, something BLUE and ORANGE." Mack and Abby both came home in that layette set (old and borrowed). The bib is new - appropriate for being born in the year of championships. Abuela brought the new blanket - blue and orange.

Abigail takes a moment to "feed" her Bitty Baby. We have a picture of Mackenzie doing the same thing when Abigail was born.

Abigail can't get enough of her little sister.






Sarah, Ethan and Kymberly stop by to see the newest Gator Girl.



Aunt Tamme and Kendall sneaked out for a minute to pay a visit. Uncle Michael kept Caroline and Carson at home in the dark at where Mom and sister went. Wouldn't they be mad to find out!

Introducing Morgan Maria






Morgan Maria arrived on July 21, 2007 at 12:50 pm. She weighed in at 7lbs, 12 oz (clearly the runt of the litter). Yes, another girl - hence the name of the website - 3 Gator Girls!

Abigail is such a proud big sister.
