Halloween 2009

Since it is officially the week of Thanksgiving, I think we should finally get our pictures from Halloween up on the blog, don't you think?

Mckenna's daycare had a fun Halloween party where all the kids wore their costumes. Here is Mckenna the morning of the party before we left the house - all ready to go in her ladybug dress. I don't know if you can tell, but she really likes her costume! :)


Here are the cuties at daycare! There is a spiderman, a lion, two ladybugs, a little mermaid, and a little red riding hood. ADORABLE!


The Person cousins came over on Halloween afternoon to hang out, and we also got to celebrate Jacob and Sarah's birthdays. I saw a fun Halloween craft idea while shopping at Target, so I wanted to try it out with the kids. We had mini pumpkins, paint, stickers, and feathery hair to make our little pumpkin people. I think the kids had fun with it!






Angel Ayla! This cute costume is actually made for an older child, but Dan tailored it to fit little Ayla - isn't that cute? She just looked too sweet for words!


That night we took Mckenna out to do some trick or treating on our block. Here she is with her friend Carter (a bat!), all ready to go out. It was pretty cold that night, so we were hoping they would stay warm - I think they were just fine, and we all had a really fun time!


We pulled Mckenna around in this wagon we got at our church garage sale in the spring. It was the first time she had been in it, and as you can see, she really liked it! (We LOVE that smile!) The wagon worked great on Halloween. Since then we've used it to pull Mckenna and Carter to the park, and they seemed to love it.






All done trick or treating and taking a rest on our front step. Matt and I have fun memories from growing up and enjoying getting dressed up and walking around the neighborhood on Halloween. We look forward to carrying on the fun with our kids for years to come!
