Sara's Birthday / Disneyland

Highlights from Sara's 27th Birthday Celebrations:

San Francisco/Oakland/Berkeley/Pleasanton - 11/5-11/8

In November, we were invited to Jeremiah's cousin's wedding in Berkeley, CA. We decided to make a long weekend out of it and visit some family in the area as well. Here are some highlights from that trip:

Halloween - Boo!

We went to our church's Harvest Party on Friday, October 29.

Chloe very fascinated with the Bubble Show:

Jeremiah carved a pumpkin for me...can you figure out what it was?

Jordan carved the other pumpkin.
Celebrating Auntie Jordan's birthday:

Getting ready for some trick or treating! It was Chloe's first time and mine too!

A Family of Ladybugs :)

The Trick or Treating Gang (minus Debbie, the photographer):

Some of our neighbors really go all out with their decorating. This one was very believable and scary!

Another neighbor had a photo-opt area:

All tired (see above) from a successful (see below) night of trick or treating :)

The Booty!
