For this Halloween, I decided to carve pumpkins with my niece Juliana. We don't really celebrate Halloween per say but I thought it would be fun to carve pumpkins. Juliana came over and we picked some stencils and did our thing! Uncle Shawn chaperoned and was in charge of roasting the pumpkin seeds.

The weekend of Halloween Shawn and I drove to Gonzales, Texas to stay at the Cabana for our first anniversary. The Cabana is the bed and breakfast where Shawn proposed to me in May 2008. We thought it would be fun to go back there for our first anniversary and it was! Also, this is proof that I have the best mom in the world..... So after our wedding last year my parents took the top tier of our wedding cake and put it in their freezer while we were on our honeymoon. Well their freezer actually ended up breaking and all the food went bad including our wedding cake. So I was kind of bummed about it but I just figured we probably wouldn't actually eat year-old cake anyways. Well my mom went to our cake decorator and had her re-create the top tier of our wedding cake. She then drove 6 hours in a thunderstorm on a Thursday night after work to take our new cake to the cabana where we would be staying for the weekend. She wanted it to be a surprise and for it to be waiting for us when we got there. It was definitely a surprise and such a treat!!!
Headed to Gonzales...

Overall we had a really great weekend. It was very relaxing and nice to catch up with some of our friends in Gonzales. We really can't wait to go back.
I'll leave you with a picture of me and my cousin Devon and our babies Melody and Tozer. Devon came in for a visit on Thursday and we had a lot of fun.
