Halloween 2011!

We had so much fun mixed with a whole lot of craziness on Halloween this year. I must say having it fall on a Monday did not make for the easiest time getting ready this year. But oh the joy of getting to braid Rapunzel's hair!!! Addie Blaire had decided a long time ago that she was going to be Rapunzel "or Tangled" as she calls it. I wasn't sure if she would change her mind so I waited to order but low and behold she stayed true to her word and Rapunzel was so enchanting!! As for Brit we had discussed a skunk and a monkey due to the fact she is our little stinker and quite a little monkey the way she gets around. She was so cute!! it was a perfect fit and she even wore it all night long without any struggle. So here's to our little trick or treaters...

After a few major tangles and hang ups I think Addie has decided that she is okay with never letting her hair grow out.

See no evil, hear no evil!

Addie Blaire had dance class after school so they got to wear their costumes and even had a party!! All the little princesses were so cute!

After dance we headed to the great grandparents to meet up with all the other family. We try to get a picture of all the kiddos every year but as the group grows so does the heartache of trying to get them all in a picture.

I had to get a picture of that cute little tail.

Lily, Katie Ella, Addie Blaire and Britann

with Julia and Ty..

and even Lydia after a little coaxing.

The princess looks like she is getting a little impatient waiting on her princess to rescue her!

We rushed over to the church after that to set up our trunk for trunk or treat. As you can tell it was kinda a last minute job. Basically I grabbed everything from our front door and threw it in the trunk!! Nice, I know. The girls had so much fun not only going around but getting to hand out candy as well.

Little Brit sat there and ate her raviolis and visited with everyone. Miss Addie Blaire was quite the candy giver (maybe one reason we were running a little low!?) but so proud to represent our great church in reaching out to those in our community. Happy Halloween 2011!

Just a quick little funny add on. The girls and I ran by last weekend to the Battle of the Ravine festivities in Arkadelphia and got to do lots of bouncing and visiting on our way back home. I thought these pictures were pretty funny. Addie Blaire vs. Darby Kate in the battle of their mom's old stomping grounds (I graduated from OBU and Jodi from HSU!) But considering I spent some great years at both it is really hard to be partial one way or the other!!

Little Brit even did a little bouncing of her own!

Oh, and I couldn't leave this out!! The first pickle, I know it is hard to tell by the look on her face but she freakin loved it!! She ate the entire pickle before I realized it.
