Halloween 2010

Since this was Emalyn's first Halloween, we took a ton of pictures of her. This was Emalyn playing after Maddi's birthday party and before Trick or Treating.

She's such a chunk, and we just love it. She's so cute waddling around pushing her baby doll.

Time to get naked and get her costume on.

Still working on getting her clothes off...

So far she thinks this is fun.

What a cute little fairy!

She was so cooperative and was even so good about keeping her big fairy bow on.

A fairy has to put her gold sparkly shoes on, of course.

Maddi was a surgeon and Cade was an unknown phantom. Maddi was pretty worn out after having her party but she was determined to go trick or treating too. Cade loved his costume and the fact that he could see out but nobody could see in.

We decided Halloween was a good time to let Emalyn experience her first lollipop. She LOVED it! Ellie and Emma are checking each other out.

Two little cuties!

Emalyn never took the lollipop out of her mouth after she first put it in.

She was drooling lollipop all over herself.

Her little costume had lolli drool all over it. It was killing me for her to get so messy, but she was enjoying it so much, so I tried my best to just let her enjoy it.

The McDonald and Ball kids. From left to right, Maddi (surgeon), Emma (fairy), Grace (50s girl) holding Ellie (bunny), Cade (phantom) behind Grace, Jack (darth vader) on the ground, and Andrew (giraffe). We are so glad to have such nice and fun neighbors.

Then we went over to another neighbors for a little bit before heading out to trick or treat.

Emalyn got smarties at the first house and she wouldn't let go of them.

Look at that face! She was LOVING Halloween.

Now she got a lollipop. yeah!

Serious face as she's checking her bucket to make sure her candy is still in there.

Emalyn and I went to 3 houses before going back home to hand out candy. Emalyn only had the one lollipop and the rest of the night she was happy to just play in the candy. Brett and the kids came back after a while and they were checking out the candy they got. We had so many kids come that we were just about out of candy, so the kids gave up some of their not so favorite candies to hand out.

It got a little chilly as the day went on so the fairy had to wear a jacket and gloves.

This smile says it all...it was a great day!
