Halloween was so much fun this year! Last year we were at Ironman Florida and it was the day before the race....so count Daddy out for trick-or-treating. The babies were also 9 months old so they were fast asleep by the time we got around to it.
This year we were all ready for CANDY! We started off this Halloween season with a Fall Fest at the BUMC which my friend Holly is so gracious to invite us to every year. We have no pictures of the girls on the ponies....because they WOULD NOT even consider sitting on one! This farm girl has raised girls that are scared to death of animals. :)
Katie chose to be a butterfly fairy.
Brooklyn was a bumble bee,
and Lauren was a lady bug. All these pictures were taken while waiting 45 minutes in the "balloon line!" We may not ride ponies for 30 seconds but we have stamina because they were not going to let us pass the balloon-tying-man and we seriously did wait 45 minutes. Lauren and Brooklyn just kept going back to the cake walk and stealing cookies out of the bowl. You can get away with so much when you are little and cute!
The following weekend we went to the Ghouls at Grassmere, which is a fun event where the Nashville zoo gets transformed for halloween.
Here is our group on the haunted hayride! We go with our friends, the Simpsons, each year and look forward to it.
Who is this you ask? hee hee Yes, it is Kassidy and Derek. :)
This was our only means of containing Lauren and Brooklyn! Buckles and suckers. It was so much nicer when they rode in the wagon.
And here are Katie's good friends, Little Red Riding Hood and Little Bo Peep! (Adyson and Savannah Simpson)
Savannah was sooo cute on the hayride. Apparently she had seen a few things prior to this night that she thought were scary, and she wasn't going to chance seeing anything like that again!
Lauren and Brooklyn have switched personalities again and now Lauren is our socialite. She happily sat on Kassidy's lap during the ride and cuddled.
I might get in trouble for posting this picture but I think it is WONDERFUL of Steve and Kelsi!...and Little Bo Peeps cane!
On Halloween night we went to a ward Fall Festival and then to the Hissongs neighborhood to hit the streets.....in a golf cart. Mike took the picture for us, but where is Stacey?
The girls were all so excited once they saw candy coming their way. At every house we had to convince Lauren to ONLY take one. She would just stand there and keep dipping her hand back in. Brooklyn would only take one but then she would drop her bucket and want to eat that one RIGHT THEN!
Our wonderful chauffeurs, Matt and Tyler!
