Halloween (hey at least its before Thanksgiving!)

So my goal was to get Halloween posted before THanksgiving...and here it is! And I have no good reason for not putting pics up sooner; its not like I edit my photos or do anything fancy...I just haven't done it. So we had days of Halloween fun and I never actually got any pictures of anything outside of the house. But Friday night we went to a trunk-or-treat and chili feed with Esther and her family at her ward. That was really fun. Aspen especially LOVED it! She is so social and loves talking to people. She's ask all the kids around about their costumes and was just so fun. Mia was being shy and didn't say one word the whole evening, just clung to my leg. And Isaac, well he is such a joy. He spent half the time smiling and the other half sleeping. And it was really fun to hang out with Esther and her family. We love that they live close to us now. :)

Then Saturday we went with Esther's family to their neighborhood party and Malo and Jeremy took the kids trick or treating in their neighborhood and Ess and I stayed at her house passing out candy with Isaac. Then we hung out and watched Ghost Busters II. Fun stuff.

Then Halloween Malo took the girls trick or treating just in our neighborhood while Isaac and I passed out candy. Holy smokes did we ever have a lot of trick or treaters! Once the girls came home, Aspen passed out candy to all the trick or treaters and I tell you, that girl is so funny! I love her. She had more fun doing that than anything else! She was so cute; she was SO excited every time someone knocked on the door and she'd give out handfuls of candy; I finally had to tell her not to give more than 3 pieces to each person and she said "but i like to give candies!" Sweet girl! She talked to EVERYONE about their costumes, about if they were having fun. She is just so fun. The best thing was when older kids came to the door, she would NOT give them candy until they said "trick or treat." and she'd tell them to say it. And if they didn't say thank you, she'd say "ok, say thank you!" It was just so stinking cute. And after about an hour, Mia started getting involved and excited. Gosh, I love my kids. They are so much fun and get SO excited about things; I love it. I love them so much and it was such a fun few days of Halloween fun with them. :)

And here are some pictures of Aspen, Tinkerbell. And Mia Monkey. And Isaac was a pumpkin one night and Tigger the next two nights. Both outfits were too small for him, but he pulled it off with his big blue eyes and giant smile. Love these kids.













Mia wanted so badly to wear Isaac's costume, so here she is wearing his. She is so funny; she has a mind of her own and wants what she wants. She has such a big personality in a little package and she makes us laugh daily. All these kiddos do. Each in their own way, they all contribute SO much to our family and they all have such fun personalities. Malo and I just are so blessed to have such wonderful, albeit often naughty, kids. Not sure what we ever did to deserve these sweet little munchkins, but we couldn't be happier! Happy Halloween!
