Elizabeth's Girl Talk. A blog about me, my husband and our six girls.
Sunday, November 4th, Olivia turned 8! She requested a dolphin cake. It turned out looking great, but was it ever a pain in the neck to frost!!!

The birthday girl!
Opening presents
Marcella getting into the cupcakes!
Emily turned 6 Saturday, November 3rd. Along with turning six, she no longer knows how to smile for a camera anymore. It's funny, her first day of kindergarten she smiled just fine... Oh well, she's still pretty darn cute!
Emily wanted a 'Rock Star' cake. It was pretty easy and fun to make and she loved it!
Here she is opening one of her presents. Emily is the biggest ham! She loves to act goofy and pull silly faces.
Since Olivia's 8th birthday was on a Sunday this year, we took her to get her ears peirced the day before. Here she is holding a light up, musical wand to try to distract her.
She did great though, and she loves that she'll be able to wear different earrings soon!
Emily decided to be Sleeping Beauty for trick or treat night. She didn't like how itchy the clown wig was. Thank goodness for good weather. They had been predicting rain, but it turned out to be clear and cold. Everyone stayed pretty warm, just little hands got cold.
Trick or Treat! My costume was an orange sweater and STRAIGHT hair!
Marcella sure did button up once we sat her down in her highchair with a lollipop and Twix bar!
Olivia and Tori counting out their candy. Tori counted over 150 pieces and Olivia organized and wrote down how much of everything she got. She's not her accountant father's daughter! =)
Emily just sorted all of her candy. She loved putting everything in the right piles. It sure was a good haul this year!
Audrey, Emily and Olivia all drew pictures of what they wanted their jack-o-lanterns to look like. All three wanted princess pumpkins!!! How in the world you make a princess jack-o-lantern is still a mystery to me. Instead of glueing bows and dusting sparkles over the poor things, we settled on eyelashes.
I don't know what I was thinking Wednesday when we bought THREE pumkins to carve. The girls sure did have fun, but I was exhausted by the end of it. If Todd just happens to be away on an audit next year at this time, I'll be sure to remember to only pick one pumkin. 
These pictures were actually taken in September when Marcella turned the big 1-8! That is, 18 months. Yeah, Nursery is finally here! As you can see Marcella loves to take baths, especially with Audrey. Big sisters are so much fun.
Yes, it's finally happened. Marcella has grown a bit of hair! It's still that pretty reddish color and believe it or not....it's curly!!!
Look at all of those curls in the back! 
All clean and ready for bed. Bedtime includes hugs and kisses from mom and dad and tucked in with her bunny (aka bun bun).
Marcella, Payton, Preston, Audrey, Tori, Dylan, Emily, Olivia, and Austin the Skunk
Marcella made the cutest Bunny! She loves wearing her costume. Saturday morning she actually took off her pajamas all by herself and was trying to put on her costume!
Olivia made the sweetest angel! Todd kept teasing her that it was the perfect costume since she's far from angelic!
Audrey wanted to be, as she's says, 'a wedding girl'. I tried to talk her into putting a long-sleeved t-shirt under her revealing gown, but she wouldn't have anything to do with it.
