October Festivities...

This month has been a busy one! It's been really fun too! To celebrate Halloween, each Monday of the month we did a fun spiritual lesson but following it we did something to do with Halloween...we made Halloween decorations to hang in the window and on this Monday we made Halloween sugar cookies! They turned out great so we decided since they turned out so good (which normally they don't) we wanted to share with our neighbors.







On another Monday night we painted and carved pumpkins....





Ryan barfing...



For our ward party this is what the girls dressed up as....

Madisen wanted to be a cheerleader...


Avery of course wanted to be a Princess...
 She is a beautiful princess!



 And our little Emily was a fairy....however, I don't think she like it at all. I could not get her to smile. She seemed irritated with the outfit...but she survived the night anyway.



And Ryan and I were Napoleon and Deb. We had so much fun and got a lot of good laughs from others in the ward. 



Doesn't Ryan make the best Napoleon! 


 We had a great time at the ward party and the girls got MORE candy than they could eat...so Daddy and Mommy helped them out with it. Isn't that nice of us?

The girls went around the neighborhood to get even MORE candy....Emily refused to put the fairy outfit back on, instead she was thrilled when I pulled out the bee outfit we had from a few years ago. See? Now she is smiling. And Madisen decided to be a triceratops again from last year.






So many pictures, not a lot of words, but it's a post, AND it's up the day after Halloween. Hope everyone had a great Halloween!!
