Lily's first Halloween

This year was Lily's first Halloween! We dressed her up in a pumpkin costume. (I was going to get her something girly, like a butterfly, but what if our next child is a boy?!)

I took Lily to see Great Grandma Hill and Sam at their place. They were surpised to see us. "Trick-or-treat!"

We had dinner at Grandpa and Grandma Mitchler's and helped hand out some candy to cute kids. We then headed to Auntie Elda and Uncle Harvey's to say HI! (they took some pictures, which I hope to see soon, cause you're the only ones that got pictures of Lily with Kevin and I together!) They gave Lily lots of treats and a cute pumpkin bag that Lily can use for years to come! What a lucky girl!

Finally, we went to Nana and Grandpa Lengle's house. Lily got a crinkle book and treats when we came to the door! Nana even bought something for the cats (to keep their litter box smelling good! woo hoo!) We settled down with the family and finally got changed into her jamas. It was a great day!

Thanks to everyone who made it so special for our girl. xoxo

She hated the hat part (which was the BEST part!)

Nana and Lily (Nana took her around the cul-de-sac to see the other Mom's... declined the treats, though)

Grandpa and Nana with Lily (she kept looking at Grandpa, so these are the best pictures I could get! LOL Hopefully Jeremy got better ones!)

The Lengle Halloween Festivities

On the Sunday before Halloween, Lily experienced the "Lengle Halloween Festivities". This includes icing pumpkin sugar cookies, putting on raisin faces and carving pumpkins. Here are some pictures from our exciting day! :)
