Halloween 2011

we had a great halloween this year! the girls wanted to be jessie and pocahontas, which turned out super adorable because coincidentally, they were a cowgirl and indian. bailey sure does love her sister, but thoroughly enjoyed talking about how cowgirls shoot indians!out of sympathy for shadi's bruised heart, i filled her in on bows and arrows and let her know the killin' goes both ways! all in good jest!

i wanted to make the girls costumes, and after some inspiration, this is what i came up with:

here are three out of eleven grand kids. we missed everybody who wasn't there this year, but we still managed to choke down some sugar anyway!

shadi as pocahontas, taeli as a peecock, and bailey as jessie

and i have to say, these are the cutest little trick or treaters there ever were or will be!

taeli's first house ever!

"trick or treat?!"

this is from the saturday on halloween weekend. my sister julianna came over so i could help her get ready for her singles ward halloween party. she made a BEAUTIFUL greek goddess!

earlier in the day on saturday, there was a small halloween carnival up at the elementary. it was a great trial run for our costumes. the girls nanna and pappa came and bought several tickets so the girls could play games and get candy!

i hope everyone had a great halloween! i have personally been looking so forward to it this year. it has kicked off our holiday season which is a time when grady gets to be home a lot more, we get to enjoy old and make new traditions with the girls, and this year it is a countdown for our third little girl to finally join our family! four more weeks from today!
