Halloween Comes Early

Friday night was the Simards' First Annual (lol) Halloween Party. The party had a great turn out, everyone was there. From Bin Laden to Sarah Palin, witches, angels, devils, priests, old ladies, and of course the blood-suckers that threw the party, everyone but Obama was equally represented.

Avalyn was excited to get dressed up and hang with some friends, Piper fell asleep about 15 minutes after the first guests arrived. I have a new recipe that was awwwwe some.. it's a pumpkin pie dip that is basically canned pumpkin, powdered sugar and cream cheese mixed together with some cinnamon and pumpkin pie spice... OMG.. good stuff with cookies.

Overall, it was a great party. I think it was the first time I have been able to let my hair down without freaking out about Piper. We were pleased that a bunch of our neighbors showed up and some guy that looked like Jon too (one of Jon's co-workers came dressed as Jon..hair style and all).

This is going to be a busy week. Tuesday afternoon is Avalyn's doctor's appointment, Wednesday she gets to trick or treat with her troop at the Brighton Care Center (Nursing Home), Friday is her birthday and Halloween (last year she had more fun giving out candy than trick or treating) and Saturday is her birthday party...fun, fun, fun. So for those that call me.. forgive me if I am a little dishoveled this week! Love you guys... thanks again to everyone that has been keeping tabs on Avalyn, I know it sounds terrible but it makes me feel better to know I am not the only one freaking out. BTW I finally got that call from the doctor's office; they advised me that they are taking direction from the specialists at Children's Hospital and that on Tuesday if her tests are abnormal she will be sent to CHOC (Colorado has a CHOC too) for further evaluation. Sounds scary but at least we know they are looking out. oxoxo
