Halloween was really nice this year. The weather was cold, but not bad. We got together with Emily's family, Becca and my parents. I decided to close up my house and give out treats at Emily's. She was giving out full-size candy bars!!! Needless to say, my little smarties were the backups. =) It is really nice to live close to family, it makes every holiday more special.

Lily struggles with swallowing textured foods, but one of the things she can eat well are puffy cheetos!! So that was her halloween treat.

Lily was a chicken for her first Halloween. She is pictured here with one of our favorite people. This sister in our relief society takes Lily once a week to give me a break. She was definitely inspired to offer me this service because it has been invaluable to me. Her support has given me an opportunity to focus on my other children and to do other things I normally could not do with Lily. Right now I use the time to volunteer in Eryn's class.
I also appreciate the loving support and care she gives to Lily. Lily loves her and gets very excited when we walk up to her door. What a great blessing!

Emily's kids were all Star Wars characters. Don't you love the Princess Leia hair?? The two-year olds especially loved the trick-or-treating. They started to run from door to door once they caught on to the whole candy thing. =)

This is the best pic of Anna's costume. We worked pretty hard to put it all together. I got the idea for this "Asian Princess" from familyfun.com. The hair is made of panty hose and bubble wrap.
