Halloween 2008

Here are the highlights of our Halloween adventures.

Alison and Emmy in their Halloween PJs.

Collin, Abbie, Kenzie, Ava, Kassie, & Emmy decorating cookies.

We had a cookie party with some friends from the neighborhood. 10 kids, 4 moms, and 1 really big mess made for a great Halloween party. The kids decorated cookies, made mini pizzas for lunch, and played dress up. They had a great time.
I enjoyed visiting with my friends while we ate lunch.

Grandma Susie bought this costume for Emmy back in fall 2005. She could not wear it because it was too small for my chunky Emmy. So, I thought I would try again with Alison because she is much skinnier than Emmy was as a baby. Well, Alison was too tall for the costume. Maybe our next kid.

Emmy snuggling with her mummy. I love how she made sure her mummy has a blanket, but her covers are no where in sight.

Halloween was a busy day for us. The girls and I had our pictures taken at Little Grins. Emmy was a butterfly princess, Alison was a bumble bee, and I was a flower. The girls and I spent the day at Grandma Peggy's house. We decorated the last of the cookies, watched Halloween shows on TV, and had a pumpkin pizza for dinner.

Aaron spent the day buying building supplies for us to finish the 4th bedroom in our basement. We got so lucky. We found a lady wanting to sell everything you need to finish a room for very cheap. Hopefully, Aaron and our friend Mike will start on the room this weekend.

We did a little bit of trick-or-treating down Main Street. Then we went to the Trunk-or-treat for tons of candy. Later, we went back to my parents house, and Emmy and Aaron went around the block so that they could knock on Grandma's door. Emmy was exhausted, but I think she had a great time. She keeps asking me when the next Halloween will be.
