Today was such a great day, and so much fun! I spent the morning doing a little cleaning, and finishing up our laundry. Christian was on kid duty most of the morning, which was a nice break for me!
Luckily we were able to get the girls down for naps, at the same time, pretty early, so we were able to get ready for the "Harvest Festival" going on at a church by our house. We didn't really know what to expect...but it was free, and close to the house, so we figured we might as well check it out. My mom stopped over to see the girls, and decided to join us for the party. The girls finally woke up around 2:30, so we got Olivia in her Costume (and wanted to pass out she was SO cute), and got Amelia in her Halloween outfit (her costume is not car seat friendly, so we decided against it all together), and were on our way. The festival ended up being very cool! They had all kinds of food and beverages, all free. Games and rides for the kids, all free. A little petting zoo and a "hay ride", free! And people just walking around handing out candy. We got home with a full bucket before we even went trick or treating! It was very cool, and we'll definitely be going back next year!
As soon as we got home, Christian's parents came over to see the girls in their costumes, so we got Amelia in hers (and again, wanted to pass out over the cuteness!) and we all visited for a little while. Kari, Jay and Andrew showed up around 5:30, and our parents headed home so we could all get ready to head out trick or treating. Olivia did so great! She said "trick or treat" and "thank you" at every house and just loved it. She got pretty exhausted from walking, but she did so good. Now, I have a house full of candy! Ahhh, what am I going to do!?!?
I never cared for Halloween, but now that I have the girls, I just love it! It's so much fun :)
Such cute pictures! Their costumes are adorable!
