Halloween 2011

Since I never took any pictures of Halloween last year, I vowed to do better this year. I don't remember exactly why we have no pictures of last year's Halloween festivities, but I think it had something to do with Audrey getting strep throat and me spending two days cleaning vomit and taking care of a nursing baby.

This year Halloween was significantly better. Lila could walk and no one was sick! We went to our ward trunk-or-treat party, where Audrey won the award for the "Most Creative Costume". Needless to say, I was very proud. I am a little sad that this is probably the last time one of our children will dress up in this adorable witch costume. One day I'll be that mom looking at pictures of our three daughters in the same costume, wondering who is who.

I think Tyler is getting a little old for this holiday as he was very difficult to come up with an acceptable costume for. At nearly 12 years old, he is beginning to care a lot about his image. I know what you're thinking....just you wait....you have 3 daughters!!!

Samantha had fun wearing makeup and pink hairspray, dressed up as a "rockstar". I learned that she has amazing eyelashes that should be illegal and that she is my closet actress. She could be so great on stage if I could ever get her over her fears.

We had a lot of fun trick or treating with the cousins this year. We went to the Wilson's neighborhood where they have the awesome tradition of sitting out on their driveways to pass out candy. Many neighbors even bring out portable fireplaces and have them lit while they sit out together. We loved it! Here's some photos of our Halloween fun...
