Besides Christmas, Halloween is my favorite time of year. And this year I started to get a look of what it may be like in the future when my kids are really into Halloween. Alexa is excited about Halloween but I don't think that she's reached her full potential of excitement just yet. We went out at 6 pm and I believe that we got back at about 8 pm. So that's not bad and man did we ever get the mother load of candy. A big bowl of chocolate bars, a big bowl of suckers, etc. And a bag of chips. We're set for candy for a while. We didn't get very many kids this year, about 30 or so. And we have left over candy from that because we normally get double.
So here we go with the Halloween pictures. Hope you enjoy!
Us girls. I threw on my hat and wig at the last minute. I wanted to dress up too!
My little "Alice in Wonderland".
Lexie walked the whole way, except on the way home. Thank goodness for the red wagon.
Up the street from us, a family builds a haunted house each year. It's actually pretty scary but Alexa makes me take her in. She did shake a few times and I had to remind her that it all fake but she toughed it out. And there were no bad dreams, so I call that a success!
Made my candy apples this year. Rolled in mini chocolate chips and some rolled in peanuts. The peanut one were the best.
Our pumpkins. Alexa drew the faces for her and Harper. They turned out really well. I should have had her draw mine. Brad made a pumpkin too but I forgot to take a picture of his. But his was an alien face and it got lots of compliments I guess.
This is the day of her playschool Halloween party.
I thought this was so cute but it was a size 3 and I thought it would be too big for her. Well, I guess my 15 month old is a pretty big girl because it fit her just fine. I guess that I'll have to start just putting Alexa's old clothes straight into Harper's closet.
My close up! I did do my make up too because I looked so washed out with that wig and no makeup. So I went a little extreme and made really dark green eyes and some black on my lips.
Hope your Halloween was fun and that you ate as much candy as me!
The day Alexa was born.
1st birthday. Look at those cheeks and no hair!
I think that she's over 2 in this picture.
When Harper was born, so Alexa would be about 2 and 1/2 years old.
And oops! I guess she wasn't 3 years old anytime because I forgot that picture. Here she is on her 4th birthday!
Look at those eyes.
Well, maybe not that much fun. According to Harper.
Going for a wagon ride.
Trying to stay warm.
The good old hockey game!
Look at these two cuties.
Decorating the cookies is always a highlight.
