Princesses, Pumpkins and Ponies

Whew, what a busy, busy weekend!

Mrs. Paula came to stay with Aidan and Lauren on Saturday morning while I took Ella on a surprise "date" to see Disney on Ice - Dare to Dream (stay tuned for Aidan's special "date" in a few weeks!)!

She was beyond excited to see all of her favorite princesses and kept telling me how it was the best day ever!



Ready to go....




On the train....








At the show....






We had a wonderful time and had a nice lunch Uptown after the show, arriving home around 3:30 PM, just in time for me to regroup for Grandmommy and Grandaddy to arrive and keep the trio so that I could head off to an afternoon photo shoot.

Mike came home Sunday morning just in time for us to head out to another photo shoot at a local pumpkin patch. It was wonderful to combine a shoot with family time and made for a fantastic day!











Even better, Ella decided to ride her first pony! Yes, this was groundbreaking, as we have not even brought up the topic based upon the disaster of the first attempt two years ago!


She LOVED every second....










Aidan opted to enjoy a hayride with Daddy and Lauren....






























What a super fun weekend - capped off with some super fun cupcakes while Lauren just enjoyed the fresh air! 

Normally, I would have worn Lauren, but because I worked and was with another family for the first hour of the day, Mike carried her for a little while, but placed her in her carrier once she fell asleep before the hayride.
