Well Bree would be proud...we've managed to stretch out the Halloween fun to 2 weeks. Here's week #1...
PUMPKIN PATCH
I was really excited for this...we missed it last year and I kept imagining a cool crisp fall day picking out pumpkins. Sadly, it was 95 degrees outside. Happily, Emma picked out the first pumpkin she saw, one for her and one for sister, and we were in and out of there in 20minutes. Would have been 10 but she discovered these tents with drums inside. I was happy for some shade.

Welling Halloween PartyThis was definitely not a disappointment! Everything was so great and I was excited to be able to celebrate Halloween with friends before heading out to Arizona to celebrate with family! Emma was excited to finally wear her costume out and I couldn't wait to see my butterfly and caterpillar together! Thank you Welling family. And a special thanks to Emma for being the party photographer!
TRUNK-or-TREATArizona, Arizona, Arizona!! I love coming here. As much as I do come here, it has been 10 years since my last Halloween in AZ, yes...I am old and that became crystal clear at the parents Trunk-or-Treat when the little girls I remember as toddlers were very unfamiliar teenagers. Nonetheless, it was a great night. This is Emma's first year getting to actually Trick-or-Treat and she was not let down, either was I. As cautious as she is with strangers...if she had to go up and say those 3 magic words to get a piece of candy, she was going to do it. She followed her older cousins around and was amazed at all this candy that was now hers. I was amazed at my baby who is now officially a big girl.

Emma's first year trick-or-treating? What's the deal? Did you keep her locked up in the closet last year?
Cute pictures though!
Miss you guys...can't wait to see you Thursday.
Whoo hoo! I love this holiday! I love that the girls are butterfly and caterpillar. Very creative! (I see Dad is still getting use out of that stupid Frankenstein mask that doesn't even have the hair anymore...)
What a fun night!!! I'm so glad you and the girls are here...
Great post! Halloween really can be so much fun (especially if your kid will actually dress up!). We love having your family here.
