Halloween Fun!

Halloween was SO much fun this year! I imagine it gets more and more fun as your kids get older, but I also think these years when they are so little is absolutely precious. Halloween is fun and all as an adult, but I think it gets carried away- super scary costumes and decorations, girls wearing close to nothing, yadda yadda... so celebrating with sweet toddlers and babies was the best : ) We went to the Olson's annual halloween party where the kids played with lots of toys and posed in their costumes. Each one of them was absolutely adorable! Jack and I made pumpkin rice krispy treats for dessert and they were a hit. Jack could've looked at them all day. On Halloween, we had Asher and Kim over to make spider cupcakes. It was very cute and funny to watch two toddlers put the licorice on as legs and candy corn on as fangs. Asher did an amazing job and Jack definitely got a little funky with the decor and made some mustache spiders and one fanged spiders. So cute : ) Halloween night we had the Olson's and Joc and Joel over for dinner. I made chicken pot pie... I will cling to this recipe... it was awesome. We got rolling around 6:30 and headed to a close by neighborhood for candy. Jack was more interested in pulling/pushing the wagon, but managed to walk up to homes for candy. He was a little apprehensive about the whole process, so Matt or I was there to help him along : ) Baby Kenna was a cute little pumpkin and ended up sleeping on my shoulder most of the way. When we got home and I took off her costume, she had a nice big blowout as a Halloween treat for me. Mater (from the Disney movie Cars) and my little pumpkin were the sweetest. Love our family of 4, amazing community of friends and all the silly things that went into making this time of year so special.
