Halloween

Lots of pictures because Halloween tends to be a big deal at our house. 
Lily watched me make a lot of Levi's costume during Levi's naps. She was so good at keeping everything a secret from him. I had been working on this since the beginning of September.









"Come here Levi, we have something for you."

What is it?
"Hany" (aka handy dandy notebook)




This was the ward trunk or treat/ carnival. They had so many fun games for the kids. Lily killed it at this doughnut game. She didn't use her hands at all. There was also a cookie walk, a "scary" maze, bean bag toss, three legged race and face painting. The kids loved everything about it...and so did I. The soups were yummy, the trunk or treat was so much fun and the kids looked so cute. 


Halloween night we headed over to the Monson's and Omanson's neighborhood and went trick or treating with our friends. Both kids were pros. Levi only fell apart a few times when we tried to help him situate his bag. He thought we were taking it away. He carried his heavy bag until the end. We walked more than a mile both sides of the streets. Both of these nights were so exciting and exhausting for these two.


Levi's little buddy is Abby and she was the cutest little Tinkerbell. Lily's good friend is Chloe and she was a super cute Merida from Brave. Her red hair was perfect for it :).  Thank heavens Halloween is over and the candy is gone. Levi is has finally not asking to be Joe. He wore his Joe shirt for days.
