fall photos

A few weeks ago we had some pictures taken of us by my friend Emilie!  In honor of our second anniversary, in honor of fall, in honor of winter...mostly I just wanted some updated photos of us. I love how they turned out!

diy: a leafy lamp

Are you enjoying this beautiful autumn as much as I am?? I love all the gorgeous leafy trees outside!  Here is a simple way to bring that magic into your home.  

 Gather a handful of leaves in a variety of shapes and colors.

Grab some clear scotch tape and tape away! (to the inside of the shade)

Voila!  An easy and free craft to add a little fall into your home.  :)

halloween recap

Last year - our first Halloween - we didn't do much.  We had only been home from our honeymoon cruise a few days and were getting settled into our new married life.  We were so high on being newlyweds, we didn't really care - we didn't even think about costumes!  We hung out at Dustin's parents' house and carved some pumpkins, and then watched "The Ring".  (That was my first time ever seeing it!)

This year we went over to my parents' house.  We had tons of fun Halloween food, and the witch's brew of course.  My mom was excited because this year she bought full-size candy bars for the trick-or-treaters.  She said she wanted our house to be the "cool house" to come to!  Haha.  My aunt and uncle brought their three little boys over and we took them trick-or-treating!  The husb and I dressed up as Hawaiian people and Dustin had fun playing his ukulele when we were walking.  It made me excited for when we have little Harpers of our own to take trick-or-treating!  Also - a comment about the weather - it was perfect.

Bubba wasn't too fond of his witch hat.  He would take it off and then try to attack it.

Aloha!  I want to go to there!

halloween party

I think that the older I get, the more I love fall and Halloween.  I love decorating my home, baking fall goodies, enjoying the beautiful changing leaves, and partyin it up gangnam Halloween style! Here are a few fun pics from the party last weekend:
