That evening Jericho got to enjoy some reading with big sis.
Saturday
After we finished getting the house ready for all of our guest to arrive it was time for pumpkin carving and pumpkin painting. Of course the pumpkin carving contest went to Jason, do you recognize this picture?
Saturday evening we went to mass and the Wilkes’ treated us to a wonderful dinner at Madden’s, thank you! The food was delicious, as always.
Sunday
Sunday morning Blythe débuted her new jammies (courtesy of Ladi) and just happened to match Mamo. Ladi got some big early morning grins from Jericho. Is there anything homier than everyone in their jammies?
Festivity #1: Jericho’s Baptism
On Sunday at 1pm Jericho was joined by parents, sibling, grandparents, great grandparents, and god parents for her baptism.
Some might claim that Jericho's cake was not very appropriate for the occasion, but come on she was baptized on Halloween so I went with a spooky cake. Of course it didn't quite all work out like the directions said it would, but Ladi has some extra patience and helped my spider web peel off the parchment paper.
Festivity #2: Trick-or-Treating
Remember how Blythe was having a hard time deciding what she wanted to be? Well the ballerina part stuck, but this time we added a leopard head.
It only took Blythe about 3 doors to figure out this trick-or treating business. She would walk right up to the door, knock, and if they answered she would say "Trick-or-Treat" and if they didn't answer she would say "no one home, time to go to another house." She got enough candy that she was having a hard time holding her trick-or-treat bag (otherwise known as a pillowcase).
Great Grandma Behrens made the girls some tutu's which are TUTU cute!
