Halloween

Happy Halloween!  This is one of my absolute favorite holidays.  This year we let Brody decide what he wanted to dress up as.  I was a little worried because I knew he wouldn't do good with a costume that involved a hat or mask.  Well to my surprise he said he wanted to be a Ghostbuster.  I searched online and actually found a costume and we were in luck no hat or mask :)  In sticking with the theme we decided to dress Connor as Slimer.  This costume was much harder to find but I found some pics and my sister Kelley said she thought she could make it.  She did a really great job it came out so cute it fit Connor perfectly.  My parents and Mark's parents were all here for Halloween which was a lot of fun.  Trick or treating was fun. We were hoping Brody would make it to a few more houses then he did last year and he had no problem.  He actually ended up going all over the neighborhood.  Shara and Kyla joined us. Kyla was the cutest little flower I've ever seen.  It was lots of fun and I'm already excited for next year.

My Ghostbuster and Slimer the ghost.

Slimer!

I actually took these pics before Halloween when Brody dressed up for school.

Carving pumpkins, Papa tried something new this year.

I helped Brody with his pumpkin.

Brody was supervising.

Connor enjoyed watching all the action.

Brody was happy holding his dragons and supervising.

The finished pumpkins.  I did the funny face and the whale and my dad did the ghost.  The ghost is cool because it wasn't actually cut out my dad just carved down the pumpkin until it was thin enough to see the light through it.

We had several attempts at getting a family shot.

Brody looks thrilled in this one :)

This ones better but you can't really see Connor.

These were some of the decorations up in our neighborhood.  Brody LOVED them!

Trick or treating.

Connor was so good while we trick or treated, he just sat in his stroller and hung out.

Here is Kyla for her first Halloween.
