boo ::

there were so many halloween festivities this year! we had so much celebrating for several days and are officially stock piled with candy and goodies that will surely last us until Christmas (maybe even longer!!)

here's a sneak peak of the week's events:

dance::

Jackobi got to wear her costume to dance, it was super cute to see the girls all dressed up!!

the party::
we had a halloween party at Cortney's and had quite the turnout! the kids all had so much fun & Cortney was such a trooper to let us invade her house!  here's almost all the kids (yes, there were MORE!)

we had a fun little treasure hunt for the older kids ::

I think they all liked the "treasure" pretty good ...





I'm pretty sure BOTH my kiddos would

go home with Jess & Hads in a heartbeat.

love them.

love our little group of friends.

we all have a pretty sweet relationship.

Jackobi and Peyton are pretty inseperable.

they have such a sweet bond.

it's not too bad being the "girl next door!!"

the kids all went "fishing" for treats

and decorated cookies.

it was a grand little party.

the grand finale ::

this is what kashton really thought of his halloween cost:ume ):)
most of the time he really didn't mind it :)

my little monsters ::

we had a pretty great halloween!  We decided to let Jackobi try and really trick.or.treat through Nate's parent's neighborhood and let's just say maybe we'll have better luck next year.  She wanted absolutly no part of it.  I made her try it at two houses & then she threw in the towel.  Oh well ... grandma made sure that bucket was plum full of candy anyways :)  She did, however, LOVE handing out candy to the kids who stopped by.  I like that traditon a little better, in the nice, warm house.  I'm pulling for that next year :)  We'll see if I'm that lucky.  After she seemed to hate going door to door, when I put her to bed tonight & asked her what her favorite part of the day was she said "trick or treating at the neighbor's with papa" ... guess it was a hit afterall.  So be ready to bundle up next year Ramon, it's all you :)
