My birthday night was not so pleasant, unfortunately. Little Miss Claire Bear decided she wanted to keep up the festivities of my birthday until the wee hours of the night; 2 am to 5 am, to be exact. Little stinker. Oh well, she has been forgiven and smothered with approximately 1000 more kisses since then, so all is well in the Calaway household.
Yesterday we wanted to take some family pictures since the trees and leaves outside our apartment complex are amazing right now, so Marcus and Ash came over and we took turns taking pictures of each other. They turned out pretty good. I'll give you a sneak peek, but only one, 'cause these are Christmas Card material here. :) After the pictures we carved pumpkins (I know, a little late, but better late than never, right??) Dallin carved ours. He's the artsy one in this relationship, trust me. It turned out AMAZING, if I do say so myself. He didn't carve it all the way out, just carved it so it was thin enough for the light to shine through. Pretty stinkin awesome. My husband rocks, by the way.
Claire gave me a belated birthday gift in the form of sleeping REALLY well last night. Dallin and I prayed REALLY hard last night for a good nights sleep. :) I think that may have had a little (read: EVERYTHING) to do with it.
Now I am impatiently waiting for my birthday package from Mom and Dad to arrive in the mail. I like getting packages. They're fun. :) Hope your Halloween was a safe, candy/fun filled evening! Now it's time for Christmas music!! :) (Please tell me I'm not the only one itching to play Christmas music as soon as November 1st comes around. Dallin has forbidden me to play it though. He claims he can't handle the excitement. Maybe I can get him to let me play it November 15th?? Crossing my fingers.)

I love these pictures, Ashley! Your first "family" pictures! And those leaves are amazing.
Happy belated Birthday!
HI Ashley!
My mom or sister or someone led me to your blog :)....first off, CONGRATULATIONS on a beautiful baby girl. I feel I may be destined to only have boys as we just had our second boy Aug. 30th. Second, I just HAD to comment on this post and tell you that you are not alone on your love for Christmas music. I got my CDs out (all 10 of them) Nov. 1st and have been dreaming of snow ever since! :) My husband tries to get me to hold off until Thanksgiving, but my love for the Christmas season wins. He hates getting in my car, turning the key, and hearing Celine Dion blaring O Holy Night. :)
Best to you and your adorable little family!
