A Little Bit of Halloween

I guess my posts are out of order, oh well. Here'a our Halloween photo shoot. Nathan, if you can't guess was Harry Potter. I found long sleeved mens shirt at Savers that I cut the sleeves a little shorter for his cloak. We found the glasses there, too, and just took the lenses out. His wand is a tinker toy. And of course a nice marker for the scar. I'm all for simple costumes!! Bryson's been reading the books to him at night and he is on this Harry Potter craze. It could be something a lot worse. . . :)

Lily was Little Pink Riding Hood. My aunt made this poncho for me when I was little, so it was fun to see Lily wearing it.

Kayla was our sweet little princess.

Group shot. I'm not sure what spell Nathan is about to cast. . .

The best part of the night was giving out candy to the trick-or-treaters once we got home! The kids were wild with excitement, it was hilarious! They would go crazy running around the house screaming and yelling and jumping around, then peeking out the door every 30 seconds to see if there were any trick-or-treaters coming. As soon as the doorbell rang, they raced over and then very calmly and quietly handed out the candy. When the door shut, they exploded again!!

By the end of the night, Nathan was out on the porch yelling to all the neighborhood to come trick-or-treating at our house and that we had Hersheys! It cracked me up! What a fun night!

Happy Birthday, Lily!

Lily turned 4 yesterday! We had a fun time opening a present here and there throughout the day (they last longer that way. . . ) and then we had a couple of families over for cake and ice cream last night.



She loved the shirts from Grandma.

The beautiful dress from Gammy was a big hit.

Dress up clothes are always a big hit! Thanks everyone!!

Lily is a super sweet little girl. She always want to help me with what I am doing in the kitchen. She loves to color and stays in the lines very well. She tells me she will start talking in Primary when she's 4, so we'll see how that goes. We had our Primary program a couple weeks ago and she wouldn't say her part. When Bryson asked her why she was so shy, she responded, "I'm not shy! I'm just super-duper quiet and I don't like to talk!" We love our Lily!
