One Little Ladybug

Bria's first Halloween started off by her sleeping in until 8:45 am. Wow. We were thrilled to death since the night before we stayed up late and went to a Halloween party while Brian's mom watched Bria. Due to the daylight savings change we've been pushing Bria's bedtime back a little bit which means she sleeps a little later, but 8:45 am was some kind of record, thank you Bria!
Then we headed to Beavertown and went tailgating. We wish we would've gotten out the door sooner because we barely had anytime to see everyone, but we still had fun.
And my Dad was in heaven with his granddaughter:


We also stopped by Dave and Cinnamon's house since they had their 2nd bundle of joy just 3 weeks ago, Sebastian. He is adorable and it was so fun to hold a tiny baby again. Don't get any ideas, Bria is plenty for us right now, no talks about child # 2 for a long time.
Then we grabbed some pizza from our favorite place, Pizza Pipeline, and headed home to listen to the game on the radio (it wasn't televised until later).
Our plan was to squeeze a nap in since we were still pretty tired and Bria had only had a 1/2 hour nap the whole day, but she decided since she slept in that she didn't need a nap. We tried to put her down 3 times but she cried and screamed and cried some more (talk about over tired baby) so finally at about 5:00 pm she fell asleep on daddies chest. Guess she just wanted cuddle time with Dad, who can blame her?

Once she was awake and fed, we put her in her ladybug costume and headed out to a few neighbors houses to show her off. Our first stop we got stuck inside watching the end of the Beaver game and drinking Pumpkin Ale beer (my favorite!!)-it was torture ;) We finally decided to continue going because at this rate we wouldn't be home until midnight. Bria was a hit and I think she had lots of fun. Once we got home she played on her blanket while I passed out candy and daddy watched some football.

Alright, so she looks a little bored, but she was still trying to wake up from her nap.
After I put Bria to bed we snuggled on the couch and watched a somewhat scary movie and ate some popcorn.
It's safe to say we had a successful and wonderful Halloween.

Flash back to Friday:
We went over to Jaime's house on Friday and had a mini halloween party for the kids. Aunt Jenny got all the kids a little black pot full of candy corn-so cute. Especially considering she was dressed as a candy corn witch, it was perfect.

The Armstrong grandkids: (from left: Jaidyn, Bria, Kailey, and Porter)
Jaidyn was a school girl witch, Kailey was a bumble bee, and Porter was a pirate. They were all so cute.
"Uh Kailey, there's something on your head."

Bria loved Kailey's little antenna's so Kailey let her play with them for awhile, it was really sweet.
Jaidyn and Bria:
Jenny the candy corn witch:

Hope everyone had a nice Halloween!
