Happy Halloween!
Let's just lay our cards on the table, shall we, and agree that, on the whole, 2016 was an abysmal year.
And I'd just like to personally invite it not to let the door hit it on the way out.
This is me being as charitable as I can possibly be at this point.
That said, I want to send a glorious shout out to the wonderful books that have come out this past year, and to all the authors (and readers) who have not given in to the anxiety, depression, anger, and fear that I know so many of us have felt throughout the past twelve months (or more). It is the last day of the year, and I have poured all of my gratitude (and hope for a better one to come) into my annual list of my favorite reads of the year. Just 17 this year. Fewer than the past few years, which indicates a healthy dose of necessary rereading in this year that has been what it was, as well as the fact that I just didn't get to as many new releases.
(in the order in which I read them)

Oh my goodness, FINN! I can't even, everyone is so adorable :)
ReplyDeleteLol. He was very pleased to be Phineas.
DeleteRose and the Doctor! That is super cool. Did anyone know who they were?
ReplyDeletePlenty of people in Will's class did. There was actually another Dr. Who in his class. No one in Piper's. Not many kindergartners watching it, I don't think. ;)
DeleteOHHHHHHH adorable *_* i love DW and phineas y ferb
ReplyDelete*grin* It was fun this year.
DeleteOh my goodness, they look all kinds of awesome! Love it!!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Heather! I love Halloween.
DeleteHow adorably perfect!!! He even has David Tennant's hairstyle!
ReplyDeleteLol. I finished doing his hair and he gazed solemnly in the mirror and said, "Mom. I look *exactly* like David Tennant." Success!!
DeleteAh, so cute! Love the pose in the first pic - SO Doctor Who!
ReplyDeleteIt makes me smile. Very Will & Piper and very Dr. Who.
DeleteAHHH! Your kids are so cute! Love Phineas and Ferb!
ReplyDeleteHehe.
DeleteOh my god your children are so old now!!! Seems like just yesterday they were Cinderella and Harry Potter...
ReplyDeleteIs it very cold during Halloween? You're kids don't look like they're freezing. It's always COLD over here.
I know, right?! I can't believe it looking at them.
DeleteIt was chilly that night but not so bad when we took pictures. Finn definitely wore a hoodie when we were out trick-or-treating.
Love it! They all look adorable.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Alexa. It was a fun night.
DeleteFabulous! You did it again!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Em! Did your kids have a good night?
DeleteSuper cute!
