Halloween 2013

I have always loved Halloween, especially when I was teaching because I could always dress up and act like a kid! This Halloween was by far my favorite! Everything is so much better when you have kids! Madeline decided she wanted to be a piglet for Halloween. She was the most adorable piggy you have ever seen! We started the day off with going to visit Alan at school. He was so proud carrying her around and showing her off to all of his classmates. Then he had the rest of the day off! It was awesome! Later that day we went over to Chuck and Brittany's for a lite dinner and then Trick or Treating. It was nice to be able to take Madeline out in a neighborhood with houses instead of trying to hike up and down a billion stairs at our apartment complex. She loved Halloween! She kept her costume on all day and loved it! She even got to have a few treats, so overall I think she is a big fan of Halloween!

Visiting Dads at school! It was very hard to get everyone to look at the same time.

Ready to go Trick or Treating! Madi is excited!

Madi and Levi. They kept trying to steal each others candy. Madi eventually stole Levi's sippy.

Look I got candy!!

Enjoying her first piece of candy!

Happy Halloween!!

Cookie Time!

Every Halloween my Mom makes the most delicious sugar cookies. It is always a tradition that we carve pumpkins, frost cookies, and my sister and I do our annual thriller dance. I was feeling a little homesick and wishing I could do all these things with my family back home. I decided to be a grown up and make the cookies myself. They were sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo hard. haha. I am no professional like my Mom but I am sure in the years to come I will perfect them like she has. I thought it would be fun to have some of my dental wife buddies over with their kids and we could all frost them together. It was so fun and the kiddos had a blast! It was so worth staying up way too late baking just to see how much fun they had. It was also fun to chat with my friends! Poor Madi wanted so badly to get in on the action and feeling guilty I let her eat a cookie, don't worry baby girl maybe next year!
