Halloween

This year Aubrey wanted a pumpkin with a scary smile and Emily wanted a candy corn pumpkin. What the girls want, the girls get. At least in terms of pumpkins. They had fun cleaning out the pumpkins and directing me during carving.

Emily decided to go as one of the fairy characters from her favorite book series: Rainbow Magic and Aubrey chose a monarch butterfly this year. The girls have gotten plenty of use out of their costumes this year: Great Wolf Lodge, Chicago, Ridgeview's costume party, dance classes, and halloween night.

On Halloween night we get together with other families in the neighborhood who have kiddos around Emily and Aubrey's age. We are five years in the making of pizza and trick or treating with neighborhood families. We are happy to keep this tradition going as long as the kiddos are up for it!
