This might have been my most favorite Halloween yet. What a fun evening we had! This year, we hosted our annual neighborhood Halloween party in our backyard. Thank you to everyone who made this event possible! Lisa, Maddie, Nikki, Martha, Alex, and Kelley - THANK YOU! We could not have pulled this off without your help. And, of course, the weather (in Texas) was gorgeous. A beautiful, warm evening provides the perfect backdrop for an out door party. The kids had a blast, and I think the adults did, too. Walker and Lainey loved every single minute of the Halloween experience. No tears from either of them! Anyway, here are a few pictures from the evening...
Gage "loves hugs and kisses" according to Lainey.
Lainey loves them too, apparently. :) Eeek!
my little football
Barbie Princess Charm School, Snow White, and Three Musketeers Barbie
the food!
ADORABLE mummies that Keegan's Aunt Alex made
My "one child at a time" sign didn't hold much water with this group.
cute little Cam
Audrey loved all the excitement. She was the cutest little pig!
I loved how Ainsley was sitting. Her dress was all poofed out around her; she looked so princess-like.
The bounce house was fabulous (thank you, Kelley and Carl). I love Liberty's cute little face in this picture!
If he wasn't on the slide, Walker was at the food table. Anything within his reach made its way into his hands. In addition to his dinner of chicken nuggets and fruit, he had bites from several cookies, some pretzels, and some Cliff Ropes.
Anytime someone would see Walker by the food table, they'd offer to help him get what he wanted. He convinced many different people to get food for him. But honestly, the look of anticipation on his face is so cute. I wouldn't be able to deny him, either!
He's handing me his half-chewed marshmallow ghost Peeps that got grass on it. Go figure, he slid down the slide with it in his hand (holding snacks while playing/climbing/sliding is typical behavior for Walker).

(He kept making his guttural noise for "yuck" and I finally figured out what he was talking about!)
These two were up to something...I think they were collecting leaves.
The famous ghost cake, made my Martha (Keegan's grandmother). It's always a hit!
Again, waiting for a piece of cake. No telling how much sugar that boy ate Halloween night.
Didn't have my flash on. But how determined does this little one look? She's ready to GO.
Again, no flash. Ugh.
cute friends
Walker and Lainey both loved trick-or-treating this year. We took turns hanging in the back with Walker. He was a bit slower than the older crowd.
I'm sad that this picture is out of focus. I think it's so cute!
