Halloween In All it's Glory!

Like every year Halloween is a busy time for us! There is just so many fun things to cram into such a small amount of time we ended up getting more then enough Halloween celebration!
Thursday Corey hosted a Halloween party for our play group. The kids decorated sugar cookies and we had some pizza. Us moms need the play group as much if not more then our kids!

Camie made Irey this CUTE blanket for when she goes into surgery (it was suppose to be Monday but didn't happen, more on that later). She instantly loved it and now it is THE blanket she falls asleep with. Thanks again Camie, you are way too nice!
Later that night we went to Gillman's to carve pumpkins. I ended up carving all 3 because Irey and sharp objects is just a scary thought and Brandon got busy getting our house packed up to move (more on that later too).

It was fun sitting around chatting while attempting to make our pumpkins look at least some what scary!?
Friday night we had Jamie's annual Halloween Party. This year it was a MURDER MYSTERY DINNER!
I was Miss Scarlett, a FAMOUS actress. Brandon was my date, the Inspector Mr. Black! He did awesome and really tried to get into his part! I love that guy... even with a NASTY mustache (that he LOVED)!

Not only was there a murder of the maid Cookie, but there was also a Jewel thief. And by the end of the night we had figured out who the thieves were AND the murderer!

Her husband was sleeping with the maid, Cookie, and it was more then she could handle, so she shot her in the kitchen with the gun!

It was a LOT OF FUN! Jamie and Meg did a awesome job pulling this off. Let me just say, WOW, it was a lot of work for those poor girls but it was well worth the effort! Thanks again you two, your the bestest!
Saturday, Halloween, we all went to my mom's house. We started off by making caramel apples. Well I made them, Amy assisted and everyone else watched and enjoyed eating them! They were really easy, yummy, and a LOT of fun.

Traditional baby group picture! ALL THREE BABIES WERE SO SICK! So hence why ALL of them look like they are really bugged by us making them sit still and listen to us scream and yell to get them ALL to look! You have no idea how hard it is to get these three to coordinate!

Well, FINALLY it was time to go trick or treating!
This was Irey's first time and she was a natural! She had a pink bucket that said "Diva" on it, so appropriate. She saw Hunter do it once and then knew just what to do. She loved it. It was a lot of fun as her mom and dad to watch our little baby act like such a big girl!

She even would stop and inspect the goods! She had us laughing because she knew what this was all about. Go to the door and get candy, so simple that yes, even a baby can do it!
It was really cute to see Irey and Brandon together, partners in crime. I love the sweet relationship they have, they are best buds! And best of all they adore each other! As the mom/wife it's a lot of fun to watch.
Afterward we came back and watched a movie. Dad may have dominated the trick or treating but mom is always the one to snuggle and make you warm! She was a lot of fun this year! It keeps me excited for more years to come. This Halloween was perfect and we were able to start some real fun traditions that I cant wait to do every year for years to come!
