Shanghai Halloween 2013

Our Halloween Celebration started by carving pumpkins after dinner the night before.


On Halloween we had the blessing of joining a neighborhood party.  This party was filled with amazing homemade treats - including our cups of worms, dirt and mud (AKA gummy worms, cookie crumbs and chocolate pudding) that are in the middle of the table.


Here is the family (less Silas) at the party.  Miriam was dressed up as a country girl, Salome was Snow White while Asa and I followed a Star Wars theme - he was Boba Fett and I was his dad, Jango Fett.


One of the games at the party was a new way of bobbing for apples.  Instead of bobbing in water it was Emily's great idea that we hang them from trees.  Miriam and Asa took second prize and had a blast!


 Here is another look at Boba and Jango - Asa did an amazing job of making both of the jet packs himself (with a lot of guidance from Mom and Dad).

Silas didn't make the party, but he did dress up as Batman and was super cute!

Happy Birthday Silas!

What a gift to have Silas Carl John Meyer in our family!  It is hard that one year ago we welcome this little guy into our family.  Today we celebrated his first birthday.

The day started with presents for breakfast...Silas was thrilled!


So was his big brother!

In the evening Silas had his first birthday cup cakes.

The cup cakes were shaped like mini-toilets.  Why toilets?  Mr. Silas loves to open up the toilet and turn it into a mini-splash station!


Here is a video of the birthday boy blowing out his candles - with a little help from his sibling.

Silas thought they tasted great and so did we!
