We had a great Halloween this year. We carved pumpkins as a family:
Then we drove to my sister’s house in Iowa for the weekend. Avery and Camryn had a BLAST with their cousins Stephen, Emily, and baby Samuel. My parents even drove up from Houston to join in the fun! We went to Howell’s to look at pumpkins,
go on pony rides (well, Camryn was brave enough – Avery… not so much),
and feed the goats/get really distracted by all the rocks on the gravel road.
Then Aunt Britney put on a Halloween party for the kids.
Of course what is Halloween without the much anticipated trick-or-treating. Camryn was Jessie. Isn’t she so cute? The yarn braid turned out pretty good, but not perfect. Oh well, she didn’t even want to wear her hat once we got outside anyway. (“What’s a cow[girl] without [her] hat?!”)
Avery was a beautiful Snow White. Thanks to Grandma Smith for getting her this cute costume! She had so much fun trick-or-treating. Everyone else was done but Avery and Merrick both wanted more-more-more! So they kept going a little longer than the rest. :)
It was a fun, quick trip! It was nice to spend some time with my parents and my sister and her family. Oh so much better than Halloween night last year when we all were sick at home with the swine flu. :) Hope you had a good Halloween too!
