7 kids and counting!!!


I can't believe it. My how times have changed. Gone are the days where each Halloween, I would look forward to the annual Lawrence Halloween party. What would J.P be dressed as? Would Jason be showing any private parts? How drunk would Jeff get? Who would be making out with who by the end of the night? Who would announce a wedding? And then who would annouce a baby? No longer are the adults dressing up, but now it is time for the kids to dress up. The 1st annual, little kids party was this year at the Wenger's and it was sureal to say the least. So many kids...7 to be exact and one more little Lawrence on the way, joining the chaos in December. Here are the kids, from left to right we have Charlie the golfer holding his little bro Alex on his first Halloween, then we have Ms. Betsy Estill as a pink butterfly/fairy holding her little sister Megan, the monkey, who is hiding in fright at the thought that THESE are her friends for life. Then we have little Ms. Molly as the pumpkin, following in her cousin Charlie's foot steps as he was the same pumpkin for his first Halloween. Then we have Emma "crazy Claire" Lawrence as a giraffe. And last but not least, we have Aidan. Don't let that cute face and those big blue eyes fool you....he can hold his own to a Betsy hug any day!

So that was our night. Lots of "Emma, NO!", and "Charlie, we do not play baseball in other people's houses" and "Betsy, that cake is not yours and you had 5 pieces already" and "Aidan, get our finger out of the baby's eye" and "Molly, please stop whining". It was music to my ears:)

P.S. Not pictured, but who most definetly deserve a shout out are the Bertrand children. Matt's friend John is married to Dana's cousin and Carrie's best friend, Shannon. Their three kids were there, Jake who is 14, Jordan who is 6 (who you can kind of see dressed as a witch in this picture and Max who was Thomas the Train).

Yes, times have sure changed but it's for the best! The kids were ADORABLE and the parents even managed to have some fun. Thanks for the funny post Alli and thanks again to the Wengers! Great party and we're already looking forward to next year!

Brian, Emily, Charlie & Alex

Too cute. Poor Megan, I see, really enjoyed this event. =) Charlie has perfected his mom's "let's go" look as he seems to be getting impatient with the photographers. Priceless.
Oh too cute.

P.S. If there is another event, can Lilla be invited? Looks pretty fun. =)
