Halloween

Although Emma's done the Tinkerbell thing before, that was for a bday party and not for Halloween...that and she LOVES tink, and it was only $6 at once upon a child (yay!)  While she's still a little too young to get much about Halloween, she did have herself a fun time this year.

Here she is all dressed up and NOT thrilled at all about it ;)  Off we were to the church's harvest carnival!

...but once we got there, and she saw the 'jumpy jumpy'...she was READY TO GO!

she played games with her Papa 

and went down the slide together a few times ;0

Jessica brought over some pumpkins to carve for the kids and Tyler went at it!

amazing! (too bad someone stole it on halloween night :0)

After the carnival night she had it down, but thought we were going to go play more games, ride more slides, etc to get more candy :)

Caden the cow came to grab some goodies with us too!

and Isaiah and my sister...oh my :)

the kids had so much fun!

Halloween

Halloween was fun this year!  Last year, Emma was nearly 3 months, and the Giants were in the World Series, so we didn't pay attention to the day much ;0  

This year, we had picked up a cutie of a costume by like the end of August, were excited when we heard about New Life's Harvest Carnival and were looking forward to sharing the day and experiences with little Em!

To kick it off, we attended the carnival.  

Isaiah didn't recognize Emma when he saw her!

....but then, we took Em's hood off, he recognized her and off they went to play some games!!

We attempted to take some pics, but man, so difficult lately!

The carnival being Friday, we had another day of fun dress-up to enjoy!

We got Em this little felt candy bag that she loves carrying around the house like a purse:)

...and...um, she likes it as a hat too ;0

We started out the day by heading to Ripon, since Tyler had the day off, and visited with the great-grands!  Emma bounced out of the car and was ready to go!

Then, after dinner, we headed out to a few houses around our neighborhood.

We hopped in the wagon and off we went!

My mom, Crystal and I were chatting away, and the boys were ahead pulling the wagon, so we hadn't noticed the kids had gotten in to their candy!

they each bit right in to a piece (since they know nothing about unwrapping first!)...I love how they just knew it was yummy candy without being told!

Since they didn't really know what was goign on, and it was getting dark, we decided to head home and give out the candy we'd bought.  

I think Emma enjoyed givign out candy much more than going around collecting!

Then Jayce, Ann & Jess showed up!

...and another attempt at getting a pic of the 3...

...cuties!! :)  Distracted, but still cute!

So, less than a month later (yay, time is getting shorter between real time and post time!) here is how we spent our Halloween :)  I promise to post Thanksgiving much quicker ;0

Fun Friday

So...our boss' favorite 'holiday' is Halloween, so the office was a little less serious today. And my husband also decided he wanted to decorate our office a bit, so we ran by walmart on the way to work today to pick up some webs and a few decorations.

This desire came after I asked Tyler if we could dress up together as a couple and he said NO WAY :) So, I was a little shocked, but went along with it.

He decorated our office very nicely, and it's too bad we didn't get more pictures...but here are a few.

The hallway from his office to mine...

And a few decorations we got from our ware house :) We always send out an office email to our staffers (and I did include some non staffers, so you may have received as well) so we took time out to take an office photo today. Before the whole crew got there, Heather decided to take some posed photos, pretending to be getting married to our headless friend...and I was apparently officiating the ceremony :)
And our office group photo (those of us at work today)

What a day...hey we got a minimum day out of it!

...Well, off we go to have a little family dinner :) Not sure that this is the normal tradition on Halloween, but since we are sans kiddos, and my sister's cookin' that's what we're doing :) Hope everyone has a fun and safe night!
