Halloween

Well we have celebrated Halloween and Trick or Treating several times this year. I have already posted about the Church Trunk or Treat that we took the girls to on Wednesday night, but Friday night we went to visit Aunt Sheri and Uncle Richard, Mema and Pop, Nana and Steve, Pop and Mimi, Kim, and Heath and Alisha. We left our house about 6pm and got back home at 11pm. Hayden and Gracie had lots of fun and it was great to visit with everyone. We stopped at Richard and Sheri's first and they gave the girls several little toys and books. It was so cute, they even had them in a little pumpkin bag, Sheri always thinks of the cutest things. Jessica was there feeding the cows and Hayden wanted to help, so we promised her that we would take her back over there one evening to help take care of all the cows. After we left there we went to Mema and Pop's, they always have lots of good candy and Mema gave Hayden a Dora Christmas nightgown and Gracie a little set of princess books. I think Hayden has taken over the books, but that's okay Gracie will enjoy them one day too!

Mema and Pop:
Don't tell Mema I took this she would say she looks awful...

We went to Nana and Steve's house next. Steve's birthday is on Halloween, so Hayden made her special cupcakes. Steve wanted chocolate cupcakes, but Hayden said he really needed strawberry ones(that is her favorite) so we ended up making both. I figured everyone would be happy that way. We also took him a funny card and a Georgia Bulldog mug. He was very excited about his cupcakes and gift and of course Hayden and Gracie both gave him special hugs. Nana had bought all kinds of different candy at the store, stuff I forgot they even make, but Hayden has tried it all now and says it is all delicious.

We stopped at Kim's house next. Pop and Mimi came to Kim's to see the princesses! Mimi and Pop gave Hayden a HUGE apple (the biggest one ever), band aids(which Hayden will use in one day), and candy. Gracie got lots of suckers, that is about all we trust her with so far. She still doesn't have a lot of teeth, but I did let her try the mini M&M's(she liked those)! Hayden loves to play with Aunt Kim and Gracie just kind of tags along right now, but it won't be much longer and she will be right in the middle of everything. Gracie decided to show Pop that she can walk last night, she stood up and took several steps and Pop told Mimi that when she would fall back down it was the cutest thing ever because her Tinkerbell dress just fell perfectly around her( I thought it was very sweet too). Maybe today will be the day she takes off across the living room!!!

Heath and Alisha were are final stop. Alisha always gives Hayden lots of candy on Halloween, but she also got a cupcake, play doh, and books this year. Alisha decided the play doh would stay at their house, since I am not such a big fan of that stuff, but she played with Hayden in her kitchen floor for a long time and Gracie was so tired by this point she was just crawling around checking everything out. When Gracie is being still, you know she is really tired! When we got home the girls went right to sleep.

We got up this morning and met Kim, Pop and Mimi at the Monroe Country Club for breakfast and to watch a magic show. We were lucky, our table was right in the front so we could see everything. The breakfast was delicious. Hayden had almost two waffles, strawberries, and hot chocolate. She is going to want that everyday now! Gracie had lots of gravy, eggs, and hash browns. Hayden really enjoyed the Magician, it was a very good show and perfect for kids. At the end of the show he made a bunny appear underneath a little house, and of course that is all she has talked about this morning. She says that was her favorite part!

Thanks to everyone for all the gifts and candy for our girls! They are so blessed and loved by everyone!

Now we are going to enjoy our evening at home watching the Georgia/Florida game with Kim, Pop and Mimi, eating yummy hot wings!
