mariquita Vale

Our very first repeat holiday!(Is halloween a holiday?) Last year Vale was a sleeping M&M, this year a ravenous ladybug. Vale strongly dislikes beanies, hats or anything covering her head so we weren't too sure she'd let us pull the hood over her head...but once the ooo's and ahhh's started she couldn't be more excited about wearing the super cute antennae.

The first set of pics are from tita Kristin's soul session partaay, (which was a total blast btw) and the last two pics are from the 31st. We got together with our apartment buddies to watch the Chargers game and pass out candy. Vale munched on a delicious apple cinnamon rice cake throughout the evening completely unaware of the delicious chocolate she was carrying around the whole time.. sneaky parents, mwahaha!


It doesn't look like we dressed up, but we did...I was a leaf and Kevin a gardener-the perfect accessories to our little bug.

Dear babysitters,

It makes mom cry when she's at work (ALL WEEK) and she gets picture texts of Vale not looking like herself. Yes this is Vale...I know...I cried too
but p.s. don't stop sending the pictures, just stop with the silly hairdo's :)
