Happy Halloween!

This year was another eventful and fun Halloween! Sometimes I think I overkill it a little, but I know that the kids won't stay young forever, so I try to do as many things as I can. But in the end I pay for it and just have to lay low and rest for about a week after.

This year my girl was Cinderella and my boy was a cute little skeleton. Emi says skeleton kind of funny, so when she does say it, it comes out sounding like "Satan." So when people ask what her brother is for Halloween, they think he's Satan.




We also had some Halloween fun at Schnepf Farms with the Palfreemans.






Then finally, Halloween Party at the Abeggs.

Everyone happy with their candy. I'm pretty amazed that we were able to get this group shot. Must be the candy...


My family has had another successful Halloween. Thanks to everyone for all the Halloween fun!!!

Halloween 2009

Happy Halloween!

I know that they tell you to live in the moment with your kids, but I am so happy that Halloween is over. I am sugar and party overloaded. It was all just too much fun that now I need a month long rest AND my house needs some much needed TLC from neglect. (or maybe laziness... oh well)

This year Emi decided to be Tinkerbell, but then as soon as I bought the costume she changed her mind and wanted to be a princess. Too bad, little girl! But when she put it on, she was so happy with all the frillies and sparkles on the dress. She's such a girl.


Brenden for his first Halloween was a monkey. I got the full on body suit. I know Mommy is mean. Blaine said that we shouldn't show this picture of him when he gets older because he'll put us in the same suit when we get old and can't do anything for ourselves. I can't resist, he's just too cute.


So excited to go Trick or Treating!!!


These pictures are from our Mommy Play Group Halloween Party. Thank you so much Mary and Laura for putting it together!
Where's Emi? It's so much fun to see everyone's costume.

Ward Halloween Party

This past Saturday was our Ward Halloween Party, so of course we had to dress up Emi. I was kind of pooped out of energy that night because we had our Super Saturday that day as well; as a result, no costume this year. But do I ever get dressed up? NOOOO... :) I admire all you fun people that get dressed up, you guys are too cute! Anyways, this year Emi is Minnie Mouse. She loved the dress and the glittery shoes and the gloves. She is such a little girl. She didn't take off her shoes till Sunday when we had to give her a bath. I know... gross, but she would just cry if we took it off. I was so proud of her wearing the gloves and everything. She loved it!

This is us just practicing wearing the costume because we were not sure if she was going to be wearing everything, but she loved it and would wear it all day if I let her.


Our one and only picture of her smiling in this costume. I have such a hard time taking pictures of her...


Here's the whole outfit with the shoes and gloves. She would keep her hands out and stretched when she had the gloves on and could not act naturally. So funny... Maybe that's a little child abuse on our part, but whatever...


Finally, our sugared up baby, she had so much fun at the party. Thanks to the Activity Committee for the wonderful party!

Happy Halloween

Last Saturday we had our Ward Halloween Party, so of course, we dressed Emi up. She is supposed to be a butterfly, but I don't know if you can tell. It is still in the 90's here in Arizona and her costume was a full body (head to toe) body suit. That was not smart on my part... But she was sooo cute in it. Sometimes parents are so mean. :)
