Halloween is one of my favorite holidays to decorate for, there is so much versatility in my decor and it's fun to change it up each year. This year I decorated in a creepy vintage feel in my entry way and living room area. I love how the birds in the branches remind me of one of my favorite suspense movies directed by Alfred Hitchcock, "The Birds." And even better, they were purchased at the Dollar Tree, along with the skulls. Isn't it great when things can look amazing and be so cheap?!

In my kitchen and dinning area I tried to keep it on the lighter side since the feel in that room is more light and airy. With just a little cob webs on the gallery wall, black floral added to the centerpiece on the table and eyeballs placed in the plant on the shelf give it just the right creepiness.

Homemade Valentines Cards are sent out to grandparents each Valentines, a tradition that started a few years back. Photoshop is the trick to getting your clipart (googled) onto the photo. Now of course we wouldn't print several of these. We just keep them special to grandparents and cousins, especially since grandparents live hours away and it's our little way of showing them that we think of them on Valentines Day. 

Lets make a craft! One of Aunika's favorite things to do!

Lets blow out the candles!

Time to unwrap the gifts she received!

Which included: walking Furreal Pony from Mom and Dad, remote control My Little Pony car and little furniture from Grandma and Grandpa, Disney Story Collection book from Bradley, Princess bubble machine from Maxine, doctor kit and My Little Pony from Charlie. All these little friends of hers provided such fun gifts for our little Aunika, we are so grateful for the friendships they have with her.

Aunika was pooped after her party and ready to read her new book that she loves with all the Disney Stories combined in one! Perfect gift for our 3 year old who loves to go, go, go but has some down time in between! She loves her books!!

The year Aunika was born in 2011 we received a baby angel ornament from a dear neighbor of ours, it came with a meal that was provided for us since she was just days old at that time. We called it Aunika's "special ornament."  Most of our tree is okay to have Aunika help decorate, since she is a hands on kind of girl, except for mommy's special Santa tea cup ornaments she knows not to touch. We told her the story of how we received her ornament and she was excited to help hang her "special ornament" in the tree. 

While decorating the tree Aunika found a Chtistmas bow and thought that Lilly Bug would look so cute with a hair bow! We thought it called for a sister photo with cute Christmas bows.
