Chili Cook Off

It is the end of October, and that means it is time for Mon Amour's family's annual Oktoberfest.

This year's event was a chili cookoff.
There were 4 yummy chilis, and mine won for Spiciest, which is to be expected seeing as how it had 2/3 a cup of chili powder in it. Yikes.

As always, there were lots of yummy beers to taste.

There were "only" 28 different kinds this year, and the host was concerned that there wouldn't be enough. We sampled 24 of the 28 beers, so I think there was enough.

This year's party also included some pumpkin carving.
Mon Amour carved a beer glass into his pumpkin.
And his cousins went for a more traditional face.


Papillon made the rounds to everyone's arms.
(Notice in this one how she is actually holding on to, and chewing on a toy! The hand-eye coordination bit is coming together slowly)
Cuteness!

With every one tasting so many beers, Papillon wondered where her bottle was.

Ahh! That is better.


The day after the party, we hung out with Mon Amours parents for a bit; long enough for Papillon to show off her skills.

Head lifting skills:

And almost-sitting-up-with-the-help-of-the-boppy skills.
