Halloween Fun!

Our Halloween fun started on Tuesday night as we carved our pumpkins! Last year Lily really didn't want to touch the guts, but this year she thought it was a lot of fun to get the seeds out! She really enjoyed eating the seeds too! We had a great time carving out our pumpkins!

Lily and Daddy decorated one with the fun Pumpkin Head pieces that Grandma Warner sent! They made a flying bat pig! Lily was sure proud of it!

Our finished products! Lily loved lighting the pumpkin up and turning out the lights! We sure did have fun as a family!

Our Halloween Saturday was great! It was in the 70s and just beautiful! We were busy all day long with Halloween activities! First we went to BOO AT THE ZOO! This has become a fun tradition for our family! After that we went to our Ward's Trunk or Treat followed by a friends party! We sure had a great time as a family! I think that Halloween is Lily's favorite Holiday - at least until another Holiday comes along! She would tell everyone trick or treat! Now she thinks that every time she says it, she should get more candy! Up first was our trip to the Zoo! We love to go and see everyone dressed up! It is always a mad house, but we love it! Everyone had comments about our costumes this year! TJ even had a few people take his picture! It was as if no one had seen someone dressed up as a Christmas tree! Lily also made the cutest witch and was a big hit with all the businesses! She is just too cute!
One of my great friends Aleida came with us and her little lady bug Valeria! Lily thought it was cool that they were both Witches!

Lily insisted on carrying her bag all by herself! She would comment on how heavy it was, but she didn't want help carrying it! Too independent!
Lily got a pair of binoculars and thought those were the best thing ever! She was looking at the camels in this picture, but she would use them wherever she walked! She requests them in the car and to look out our windows!

We don't have pictures of the Trunk or Treat, but it was sure a lot of fun! We combined with three wards and so there were a lot of cars to go around to! Lily was in pure Heaven as she collected her candy!

Then it was off to our friends for a party! This is our second year going and we sure have a great time! Lily loved all the friends and food!
As you can see by the end of the night she was exhausted! She made it out of the party with a cake ball bloody eyeball treat that she ended up all over when she fell asleep! We had a great night!

On the actual day of Halloween, Sunday, we had some friends over for Chili and cornbread! It was a great time! Lily loved opening the door for the Trick or Treaters and giving them candy! She would stand by the door and wait for more to come!

I cannot believe how big Lily is. Although, since she's almost the same age as Bryce, I should be surprised! What a cutie! And you guys have such fun costumes! Good job!

Looks like you guys had a fun Halloween. Cute and creative costumes! Lily had as much fun as Zoey with the little pumpkin kit from grandma. :) We almost didn't even carve Zoey's pumpkin this year because she was having too much fun with the kit.
