Halloween

To most states, October 31st is Halloween, but not to Nevada. It is a Nevada Day, which means no school for Josh!! We got awesome tickets on Southwest this past summer and were able to fly home on Thursday afternoon and back early Monday morning. While we were there we also had 1st birthday party for Avery!  It was so fun.

Lindsay and I made Avery's cake

Thanks for sharing your pictures! They turned out a lot better than mine. I'm glad you finally revealed the mystery of Nevada Day, I was beginning to wonder why Josh never had school on Halloween.

Hey there...just finally checking up on a couple blogs. Love all the Avery pictures. She's so cute. Love the safari outfits. Good job on dressing up. Can't wait to see you soon. And the 30th was Nevada Day. The 31st was still Halloween. ;)

Just kidding. You were right. The 31st is Nevada Day. My bad. :)
