HAPPY HALLOWEEN! We have had a lot going on this past week. Including OC boardwalk trick or treating, Trunk-or-treat church party, our very own party, Birch Grove Halloween day, and trick-or treating at home. I've enjoyed it but I'm ready for November.
We spent last Saturday celebrating in OC!
My pirate pumpkin
Lily helping clean it out.
We have the most beautiful autumns!
Lily painting her first pumpkin!
she loved it!!! she used every color and it became an interesting shade of green.
She was a variety of things for Halloween. If you asked her "what are you going to be for Halloween?" she usually said something random. but in actuality she was a princess (perhaps Sleeping Beauty), Tinkerbell and Alice in wonderland.

and apparently my kids have been influenced by Pop's love of the Uof U. Don't worry they will learn the BYU fight song soon!
She gave out the candy to the kids. We thought since it was on Sunday the best way to keep the sabbath was to give rather than receive. even though we did have to take her to visit a few neighbors per their request. She begged kids to come to our house. it was her favorite! and best of all at the first house she visited. He asked if she was trick-or-treating and so she took candy out of her bag and tried to give it to him! Reverse trick or treating...too sweet!
Mr. Scarecrow helped her out.
she would hit the two lollipops together and Max would giggle! It was so funny. He loves her!
Max taking a few candies for himself!
Candy overload!
Max and Lily showing off their new duds from Aunt Kathy and Uncle Dave!
My "mask" for dance class this week.
Happy Birthday all around! Lilia turned 4 and David turned 35! We had lots of fun and celebrated for a very long time :) Her party was on St. Patrick's Day at a gym. Lilia's favorite present was her new bike. David's favorite present was his Kung Fu Lessons!
Captain Jack Sparrow II and his lovely Wench
The Captains battling it out for the title!
The concession stands
Max playing between begging for candy
The park provided a great place for the kids of all ages to play and have fun. meaning I didn't have to provide amusement.
I brought bags and stickers. The kids decorated their goody bags and then I filled them.
We visited the ducks and turtles.
We made great friendships!
We had fun!
All the adults chatted and ate while most of the kids played
Our Caterpillar out of balloons. the wind didn't always keep it looking cool but that's ok.
we had to add fresh worms
Max fell asleep the instant we got in the car. It was killing Lily that he hadn't opened his gifts yet. So the moment he woke up she wanted to. I made her wait until he was ready. This is one of his many awesome gifts!
Lily kept telling people she was a bad pirate or she was Wendy.
My cousins Amanda and Jaime had great costumes! Groucho and Harpo Marx
Janelle and John were the cover of a bad romance novel.
Kristin was "Krew" - Kristin and Drew
Mom and Dad were the ghost of Christmas past and the ghost of Christmas Present, Father Christmas
This is a great shot of our Captain Hook!
I found the cool bottle labels again this year and made people guess what they were.
The party was a hit!
