Halloween 2011

This is a post that is long overdue. I guess nine months on bed rest has left me with a lot of catchin' up to do.

Lilly had a wonderful Halloween in 2011. She was able to do so many fun things.

This year Lilly did not have a birthday party with her friends. I had just gotten out of the hospital and Lilly had just returned home from her one month trip with Gus's mom to Utah. So my mom and Lilly put together a Halloween Party for all of her friends.

She invited Genevieve, Brielle, Braden, Emi, and Emerson. They played Pin the Nose on the Pumpkin (which Lilly drew herself). They also decorated sugar cookies, made Halloween puppets, had a scavenger hunt, and played Ghost, Ghost, Witch. Lilly had such a fun time with all of her friends!

At Lilly's preschool they had a costume parade. All the children paraded around the school grounds while the parents watched and took pictures. It was so cute!

For our ward Halloween party, Lilly wanted to dress up as something different. She knew all of her friends would be princesses, so she wanted to be one too.

On Halloween night Lilly decided that she had enough candy and just wanted to stay home and hand out candy to the trick-or-treaters. Between knocks at the door, Lilly scraped all the insides out of her pumpkin. Then Gus carved it while we watched Charlie Brown Halloween. It was a great night.
