2014 Halloween

It snowed on Halloween this year! It snowed!

But...we still dressed up Myra and Iva as Elsa and Olaf and made our way to Papa and Jay's house for some treats. Then...Grammy and I stayed home with Iva while Jeff and Myra hit a few houses in the freezing rain and snow, but Myra LOVED it!

Here's also some pics of the cute Halloween shirts that Aunt Luana gave the girls...

Grammy and her Frozen characters!

Trick or treating at Papa's...

Some afternoon reading with Grammy....

A Bit Small Matilda Jane Outfit

A friend of mine had a Matilda Jane trunk show and I had purchased this adorable outfit for Iva, thinking she would wear it in the hot summer sun. Well...we never got around to wearing it as August and September weren't very hot. But...if you know Matilda Jane, you know it's pretty expensive, so I had to get it on her ASAP.

Well...by the time she wore, it was extremely small! I squeeeezed this poor baby in it and this is how she looked - adorable of course! But...I could barely get it off her her - ha!

Our Official Move Pics

I wanted to take some shots of what everything looked like when we moved in. It was a gorgeous fall day, so off I went to take some house and neighborhood pics - and also got a shot of the girls on the #4 tee box that's in our backyard!

The house in the afternoon light....

Our own little space...well public neighborhood space (Roxbury Commons) that overlooks the lake. It's right across the street from us!

A view from my favorite backyard tree with a view of the golf course.

Iva's Baptism Weekend

We arrived in St. Louis for Iva's baptism, which was held on Oct. 12, 2014. Just like Myra's, it was truly a wonderful celebration at St. Martin's Episcopal church in Ellisville, MO. As you can see, Iva also wore Aunt Pam's christenging dress - just like Myra did. What a wonderful tradition!

It was, of course, fall so Grammy and Iva had to get in some fall reading...

Myra and Teddy had to be involved as well...

I love Myra's concentration face here...

Beautiful, beautiful ladies!

I love love love this! Grandpa Steve and Iva watching the history channel...

Our gorgeous Myra on the mornng of the baptism in mommy's shoes!

The outfit Iva traveled in to get to the church. She's also wearing a bracelet that Aunt Shannon and Uncle Chris gave her to wear during the baptism - so sweet!

The gorgeous godparents and little Iva...

Mymy was having a bit of a rough day that morning. I am sure it had everything to do with celebrating her sister and not her - although, I know she got some presents, too!
