Happy Halloween!

We had such a fun Halloween! Josie and Charlie were more into trick or treating this year and it made it so fun! Josie was excited to be a tiger, Charlie fit into Josie's dragon costume from last year and Frances wore Charlie's costume from when he was born. They were all bundled up and it was a perfect Halloween night!





Josie was pretty unsure about our neighbor all dressed up and scary.



We ran into Josie's best buddy Izak while out trick or treating.
He was a "biker dude" according to Josie.



Eliza, Charlie and Josie squished into the wagon.



This is Josie looking at the spooky mummy at the neighbors house. The kids love driving by this house all October, but walking up to the door in the dark on Halloween night is a totally different thing.


Charlie and Olivia were a little nervous about the
scarry sounds coming from the spooky graveyard.


We had a great night and can't wait until next year to do it again!
Happy Halloween!

Charlie turns 2!

It is hard to believe that 2 years ago Charlie was born. Where does the time go?
He is such a great little boy! He isn't talking much yet but he is getting better all the time. He is extremely sweet with his little sister and adores his big sister. We all LOVE Charlie BoBo!

Charles bought these lederhosen on his mission in Germany and I have been waiting for them to fit Charlie and finally they fit so he was a little German boy. Josie thought he needed a mustache so I gave him a Hitler mustache... why not Hitler was once a little German boy. :)
All the cute kiddos eating pizza.

Melissa, Olivia the ladybug, Andy, Eliza the cute witch and Drew as a cool Anican Skywalker. Look at his serious, cool face.

Andrew, Emilie as Miss Muffet, Finn the ninja, Tom the greaser and Tommy the spider.

Charles the coach, Josie the "girl" pirate... with a mustache, Charlie the German birthday boy, Me as Officer Patten and sweet Frances as Mr. Bones.

Susie the flapper, Avy as snow white, Whit as the gangsta and MaeElla the indian.

Grandma the cowgirl and all the adorable grandkids (which are only a portion of all her grandkids).

What's a Halloween party without bobbing for apples... right?!

Finn trying to put a bubble gum mole on Frankensteins (usually we use a witches face, but we couldn't find our witch this year) nose. Our Halloween version of pin the tail on the donkey.

Charlie getting a lot of help opening his presents.

Charlie blowing out his candles on his football cake.
Boo with a nice new hairdo.

Frances talking to uncle Ty.

What a fun Halloween Birthday party. Thanks to everyone who made it such a great party. We all love you Charlie!
