Walker's World: Baby's First Halloween 2013

We always enjoy Halloween! Even though I don't do spooky and creepy very well, we keep it fun and sweet and have a blast!

This year we had: Izzy the Pirate

The Ladybug

Our tradition starts with visiting the "grandma's and grandpa's" at my mother-in-law's work where she is a nurse for longterm care patients. They pass out candy to the kids as we walk by. It's actually a really neat, humbling experience. There are many patients who can't pass out candy or talk, but their smiles say it all. Children have a way of bringing joy to young and old, especially old.

We thought we forgot Brynlee's ladybug costume in the car, but ended up finding it later. *Sigh*. So here is Brenna, her cousins Matix & Ellyah, and sweet Brynlee:

Afterwards we went to our church's Harvest party. It's our second year and a lot of fun! Brenna had a little friend, Ava meet us there too which was neat! Brenna played games, got her face painted, (she chose a whale (HUH?) did a cupcake walk, bounced in the bounce house, and petted some animals. There was a large, movie star (really!) camel there and we got to go in and pet him with no worries. Brynlee did so well and was content being held and probably getting overstimulated with each second!

Next, we visit Granny Mary and Poppa Sam who live down the street. They always have a special treat for the girls and get some cuddle-time in with Brynlee of course! Brenna gets her chocolate milk and M&M's and then all is right with the world.

Last but not least, we trick-or-treat in our neighborhood circle. Kimmy, the neighbor across the street adores the girls and so we visited her last and let her enjoy them!

It was a fun night and a cold night, but no snow so we didn't complain! We were exhausted by the end and I'm already deciding what the girls should be for next year, ha! ha! (Matching theme comes to mind…)

Here are some other fun pictures as we prepared for Halloween:
