Halloween

Halloween has always been my favorite holiday, and now that I have a toddler to enjoy it with, I think I like it even more. (Ben doesn't really understand my love of the holiday.)

Ben had the day off, so I started my Halloween by going to my mom's to get my costume ready for school. Emily and Ben stayed home and slept in. School was the usual craziness that Halloween at elementary schools always is, but it was a lot of fun.

When I got home from work, Ben and Emily had already carved the pumpkin, so I don't have any pictures. We then put out our candy with a sign, please take two, and left for my mom's house. (For those of you wondering, our candy did presumably get dumped into one selfish person's bag.)

At my mom's we had some delicious soup, and met up with Emily's cousins Averley and Aidan to go trunk-or-treating at my sister's ward.

Emily scored big time, and we had lots of fun!

One happily squished Belle.


Emily and her cousin Averley. As soon as Averley found out Emily was going to be Belle, she had to be too.

A girl happy with her haul. Apparently Aidan really got into character.

If I do say so myself, that is one sweet Oompa Loompa costume!

I LOVE the oompa loompa costume. So awesome!

Also, good luck with next three sets of three weeks. You can do it! Especially because it's not 3 huge events happening in the SAME three weeks. (Whew!)

Emily was so cute as Belle! I love her costume.

Okay, the oompa loopma costume is so great. I cracked up when I saw it. I'm glad Emily is enjoying the holidays. :)
