October is my favorite month because:
1. My birthday :)
2. The leaves start changing colors like crazy
3. Halloween! Which equals FREE CANDY and fun traditions such as pumpkin carving and parties.
4. Thanksgiving and Christmas are right around the corner.
For my birthday, Tyler surprised me with a trip to Park City. I know, best husband ever. :) We had such a fun time up there and spent way too much money. I even bought some glue-on nails from Claire's. I love putting some on for a week :) I usually hate having long nails so my normal nails aren't the best... it's fun to have them long and pretty if only for a while. The leaves were beautiful on the drive up there. We stayed in a beautiful room that felt just like a lodge. In fact, the place we stayed was called The Lodges. ha It was so nice to get away from the stress of every day life, if only for a weekend. :)
Tyler and my twin sister, Ashley's, husband, Jonathan, had also planned a surprise party for us. We enjoyed spending our birthday with friends and family. We didn't get any pictures, but managed to capture a video of Ash and I blowing out our candles. Ash and I used to always share a cake and I'd always end up blowing out all the candles before Ash could ever get a chance. haha This year, we each had our own cake and candles to take care of, however Ash couldn't manage to get her's blown out in one breath (probably from lack of practice :D) so I took care of them for her. haha Enjoy the video!
This month we also got to throw a baby shower for Ashley. My mom was in town so she got to attend! We had a great turnout and played some pretty fun games. It was the first baby shower in our family so I enjoyed putting it together!
To celebrate Halloween, we went up to my Aunt Cindy's house in Ogden and had a party with my grandma, aunts, uncles, and cousins. We had a blast carving pumpkins, dressing up, and stuffing our faces with delicious food. Tyler and I didn't feel like dressing up too much this year so we put some aprons on, grabbed our oven mitts and rolling pins, and became bakers. Get it?? BAKErs haha :) For our pumpkin we recreated Cinderella's carriage. It came in second place! We had so much fun putting it together.
I sure hope you all have had fun this month doing family traditions and are gearing up to celebrate the holidays to come!
