HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!!

This year we had an awesome Halloween.  It was so fun because it was the first year that Kyle really understood the concept.  The kids were able to dress up in their costumes three different times for three parties and they loved it!!!  
Makayla was the Little Mermaid.  She was able to pick out what she wanted to be and then I made her costume.  It turned out so cute and she loved it!  The only problem was the poor girl had strep throat during trick-or-treating.  We didn't know at the time (she was just complaining about a sore throat.)  She still had a lot of fun but hopefully she will be healthy next year.
Kyle was the cutest little dinosaur in all of Nevada.  I also made his costume and he loved it!  Kyle was so impressed that all he had to do was say trick-or-treat to people and then he'd get candy.  He loved that concept.  He realized that if a person only gave him one piece all he had to do is say "more" and then they'd give him more.  It was a little embarrassing but Ben was really impressed!
Sometimes it is really hard to not have any family around us here in Fallon.  I see all my other friends with their families going to parties or having family dinners.  It would be so much fun to be able to have my children go trick-or-treating with all of their cousins like so many of their friends get to do.  But since that isn't going to happen anytime soon (if ever) we need to make the best of it.  We had so much fun just the four of us going around our little neighborhood and getting candy.  I love my kiddos so much!!!

Cute pictures! You did such a great job on their costumes. I agree that it would be so much fun to be closer to family so they could go with their cousins. I have to tell you that Brooklyn will ask me once a week if Makayla can come over and play!

Those are the cutest costumes Lori! Sorry that Makayla was sick. We wish that you were here too! It would be fun to see you guys more often. Are you coming for Christmas?
