Last weekend was one of those weekends where I wish it never had to end…it was complete in every sense of the word and I couldn’t help but get sad when Monday rolled around. This is just one reason I love fall…a sense of family, traditions, and so much togetherness that I hope this season lasts and doesn’t escape us too quickly.
First up, Halloween at the Stoneking casa… As you know by now, the minis were Ariel and Sebastian this year and I loved how they were able to dress up three different times this year. Plus, there just really isn’t anything cuter than babies in costumes, right? We invited some friends and Mimi and Pappy over for dinner and trick-or-treating and the night turned out to be such a good time!
Our little photog-in-training (AKA Caroline) had to take some pictures to get the night started…she may not like to pose for the camera, but she LOVES to play the family picture taker.

After we sent the little munchkins off to bed, we all gathered in the living room for a rousing game of Cards Against Humanity and then Jeff thought of the brilliant idea to have a rap session where him and Andy went to town and we played with glow sticks…who says you can’t have fun as an adult???
The next afternoon, we headed to Aunt Shell and Pattie’s house for their annual Fall Fest celebration…another family tradition we all love! We bundled up the babes and had a blast, grilling hot dogs around the campfire, eating chili, snacking on yumminess prepared by everyone, and watching football (the VOLS finally got a big win!!)…such a fun night!
Looks like such a fun weekend!! My niece was Ariel as well and I think the cutest part was the red wig that they wore – so stinking adorable!
Love that Ariel wig! Atleast you got a few cute pictures with her in it. Looked like such a fun weekend with the fan đ
so cute, I think every mama I know was a cat (including myself lol, such an easy go-to!) Love the fall fest tradtition, so fun!
It looks like such a fun weekend. I love the idea of a fall themed night the day after Halloween. Also, where did you get the girls cute mittens and hats? I am having trouble finding cute ones at all my normal places.
CC's are from a local craft fair, though similar ones can be found on Etsy…and Carson's are from Baby Gap–they usually have the best selection!
