Halloween

 We started our Halloween night going to the Trunk-or-Treat at the church...

Baylee is making the rounds with her friends Oaklee and Brinlee. Baylee had a pink skeleton costume on earlier that she didn't want to wear tonight. :)

Kalyssa is a dead bride and Abbee is a lion.

Brandon held Paisley and helped her trick-or-treat. She is SUCH a daddy's girl! She cries whenever he leaves the house, and when he walks in, she goes over to him and fusses until he picks her up. Brandon loves it.

Tonight is the first time I've put shoes on the twins. Why bother with shoes if they can't walk? But now they can... after I put them on, the twins took really high steps for a few minutes trying to get used to it. It made me laugh. They both dealt with it and didn't try taking them off. They wear a size 5 already! I'll have to get rid of the smaller shoes they never wore. :o/ 

Kalyssa and Willie are at the last trunk and got handfuls of candy.

Will is superman! He loves his costume.

Will gets another handful of candy. I'm afraid his pumpkin handle is gonna brake.

Emmy keeps digging in her Halloween bucket.

We went to Grandpa Kevin's to trick-or-treat next. His dog was really excited to see us and got way too close to the twins... they cried and didn't like being on the floor with her.

Grandma Mary Ann's house is next. She loaded the kids up with more candy. Paisley is eating M&M's.

Emmy was shoveling them into her mouth so fast, then she tried to take Paisley's. 

Aunt Julie and Emmy visited with each other. :)

Then we headed to Aunt Lana's house. She got out her big candy bars!

Lana laughed at Emmy cause she went for the Reese's candy dish. She said, "That's your kid!" cause I love Reese's.

Our friends, the Parslows, have a Halloween party every year... we ate chili, and the kids decorated paper bags with stickers for the pinata.

LOL... Morgan is shocked watching other kids hit the pinata. Will and Morgan are buddies from being in the nursery together at church.

Kalyssa and her friends watch and wait for their turn...

The kids are picking up what's left of the candy on the ground.

The twins, Paige and Nacole, are holding the twins!

Kaden is holding the ghost pinata and chasing Will with it around the backyard. 

Kalyssa and Kailee are eating nachos and chili AGAIN before we head home for bed. :) It is a school night I reminded them... Kailee said, "but I like to party at night." Haha.

Oh man... this doesn't look like much candy in a picture, but it really is too much! The kids are more than happy. Looks like candy for breakfast tomorrow!

Emmy found my Coke stash in the fruit room and is walking around with a can... Paisley tried to steal it from her. I swear they always want what the other has.

That's my girl!!!

Paisley is so cute. Brandon gave her a sippy cup, she walks off with it, finds a quiet spot, lays down, and enjoys her milk. We found her in the living room by herself... she does that a lot.

Random thought - In my single days, Halloween used to be my least favorite holiday. But our family has grown so fast and we have so many fun things we do in October with the kids now... I love this time of year and really look forward to it...

Happy Halloween! It was fantastic! :)
