It was a Happy Halloween today!

We had a great day today!  We had our kids in bed before 6pm last night, so they were super rested and ready for a FUN day!  Logan had school this morning, so I took some photos of the two little pumpkins who were home:




Its been so fun to see Bennett and Eden together.  They have special time every morning.  Often, when Eden naps in the morning, Benny has to check on her or even wants to wake her so they can play.  I can see that he is used to having a sibling around all the time.  He has always had Logan around.  He is very sweet and loving to Eden.

 Then we took a detour to the library after picking Logan up from school.  He has been asking to go because I usually go with the two little kids in the morning while he is at school.  Then we came home and enjoyed some sunshine.  I tried to get the kids to sit outside for a photo, but Benny only wanted to show his back.  He already had to take those other photos this morning, so I can't blame him for being sick of the camera.
We were on our way in for lunch - pumpkin shaped PB&J!

 Logan and Eden gave me some big smiles and snuggles!



Isn't Eden getting so big?!

She crawls all over the house, pulling up and standing when she can - with a huge grin.  She does everything with a huge grin.  :)  Love that.

 My mom made this little kitty hat for Eden (and she also made the "boo" pillow).


 My cute little cat.

Just as our friends arrived for our party tonight, I got a couple quick pics of the kids all together!

So much fun and ready to party!  We have the most amazing kids.  We are so blessed!

Six kids (minus the littlest: Eden and Adelaide)!!  Dinner before trick-or-treating in our neighborhood.

Eden was loving the party!

We got out the door just a few minutes after 5pm with dinner already in our tummies!

The kids were off to a running start!


 The crew!  This is the same group who joined us last year and its becoming a fun tradition!



What cuties!  Such a pair these two!

Mom and the kids!  I kept putting more layers on Eden...it was starting to get chilly!

McKala and Adelaide (1 yr)

The neighborhood was busy early.  Hours for t-or-t are only 5-7:30.

We were so lucky to have Daddy home - even on youth group night!  He made sure that he could be home with us to trick or treat!  Thanks, John, for taking the care to be with us tonight!

Our neighbors, Jane and Rob had this cool "pumpkin bonfire".  We also visited our backyard neighbors, Carol and Larry who had special gifts for the kids.  

The house looked good all lit up for Halloween.

Back inside to warm up!

Logan took over the handing out of candy...it was a great job for him.  He was awesome and made sure to say "Have a Happy Halloween" to all the kids as they walked away.

Bennett just watched and enjoyed his 3 treats.  They each got to have 3 - the rest are for Mom and Dad.  No....I mean the rest are for later.  ;)

Thanks to all our friends for joining us!  Today was a wonderful day!
