We had two little dinosaurs that we took out Trick or Treating this year! If I do say so myself they are the CUTEST dinosaurs ever!! I had given Everett the option of "Buzz Lightyear" of Dinosaurs for Halloween and he choose Dinosaurs. I decided to take advantage of getting to dress the kids the same while I could so sweet Haven got to be a dinosaur too! Everett was a little nervous to trick or treat at first this year and wasn't too keen on walking up to stranger's houses even if it was for candy. He insisted on being carried and would eventually ROAR at the people giving out candy. After a while he got the confidence to walk up to the houses himself and immediately tried to consume his candy. We went out trick or treating with Lane, Neeley, Norah, and Merritt again this year pulling the Bigs along in the wagon from house to house and pushing the littles in the double stroller. Norah and Merritt were matching adorable kangaroos. Norah did really well trick or treating and was hand in hand with Mimi who joined us along with Kelsey and Aunt Cindy. Merritt and Haven kicked it in the stroller sleeping for the first part of the night and then just quietly and sweetly taking in the chaos around them. We started the night visiting Mom at her home and all the ladies loved to see the kids in costume even when Everett was roaring at them. Mom was a little overwhelmed by all the action so we didn't stay too long. From there we went to take the kids to see Doss and Charlotte, their neighbor Pat, and finally Grand- Nana. The kids got lots of little treats and we could have stopped there but Mom and Dad wanted some more candy. The night was long and we finished with a family dinner back at Grand-Nanas. Overall it was a successful trick or treating for everyone involved and a fun night full of memories!
We took the kids up to the local park to take their costume pictures. It was a little hectic but we managed to get some keepers in the end. This has been one of my most favorite traditions with Everett and I was so excited to get to have Haven join in on this. I love looking back at the costume pictures over the past two years of Everett and seeing how much he has grown and changed. Through it all our trusty Meyer bear has been with him!
The week before Halloween we coordinated the kids and took them to the pumpkin patch for our annual Fall Pumpkin photos. I looked back over these and couldn't believe we have two precious babies that we have been entrusted with. They are the most precious sweetest kids ever! I could seriously spend my whole day giving them sugars!
