The Last "Land" Turns One!

Just a few days ago, we were able to celebrate our nephew Michael's very first birthday! We all drove down for the big pre-Halloween bash. Shannon (M's mom and Kendal's sis) went all out with "monster cupcakes," Halloween decorations, hubby Patrick's 5-alarm chili and a fantastic "ghost cake" designed by our super talented sister-in-law, Jennifer. The twins were so excited to celebrate alongside their other one-year-old cousin, Casey Land. The house was packed with kids and friends and we had a fantastic time! We absolutely cannot believe all of these "babies" are now toddlers, but watching them play together just gives us precious glimpses into what is to come!

After the birthday bash, we took all the kids to the annual "Trunk or Treat" party at the Land's church. The adults all decorated the trunks of their cars, then invited the decked-out kiddos to grab as much candy as they could. The twins were again in their bumblebee costumes and looked pretty darn cute!
