Happy Birthday!

Today was Melody's birthday! Melody requested carrot cake from Paradise Bakery and it was so good! While I was singing Happy Birthday to her Brooklyn decided to chip right in. I got the camera out and tried to get her to sing it again. It's not quite as good as the first time but Mom still liked it. :-)

Neither Melody nor I consider ourselves artists but we sure had fun carving the pumpkin. We tried to get Brooklyn to help us clean out the inside but she wanted no part of it. She insisted on watching a movie instead.

We lit the candle and turned out the lights and Brooklyn started crying, "scary, scary!" This picture was taken just after we turned the lights back on, she's still pretty nervous. We took her to a Halloween store at the beginning of the month and they had a lot of cool Halloween stuff including a lot of moving and screaming Halloween things. She has been pretty leery of anything Halloween since then. It will be interesting to see how the ward trunk-or-treat goes!
