Presley's Fall Party...and Halloween, too.

I realize everyone has moved past Halloween, but I totally forgot to upload pictures. And speaking of forgetting things, I didn't even decorate Presley's Halloween bucket until 12:30 Saturday night...the night BEFORE Halloween. Thats what happens when you get it a month before and keep putting it off.

I found this bucket in the dollar section at Target for $2.50, and this was all that was on it.

I used my cricut to cut out Presley's name as well as some little polka dots to put around some of the letters.


Added some ribbon and polka dots...

and voila! Spent about $5 instead of the $25 bucket I found at a local craft fair!

We decided to cookout at our house before Trick-or-Treating, so we invited our parents and my bff Kelly, and her family, over for dinner. Here are all 4 girls in their costumes....

Pres, Emma, Ava, and Lila
Is this not the prettiest Great Dane? She was trick-or-treating, too, so I had to take a picture of the two.



So this weekend was our first Barn Party at my parents house! Ever since they've built it, they've wanted to have one. Well, now that Presley has come along, we definitely have a reason to do so!
The barn all decorated for fall!
We kept it pretty small...just my closest friends and their children, and our parents :)

The guys enjoying the bonfire...which ended up being the gathering spot for the adults.


We had pumpkin painting...







(Had to throw this in there of baby Lila....I could kiss those cheeks all day long!)



The kids enjoyed the horses, too.

And of course, yummy food...chili, hot dogs, chips/dip, smores, caramel apples, hot apple cider....makes me hungry just thinkin' about it!
Kelly and 2 of her girls!
Me and Candice!


We ended the night with a hayride!


I'm so glad we decided to have the Barn Party this year. Everyone seemed to have a great time, and we had lots of requests to have another one next year. It was definitely worth all the hard work getting it together, and we'll surely make it a tradition!
