This is Halloween.....

We had a lot of fun celebrating halloween this past week.
Emmy had a big party at her preschool.

We had a ward halloween party.

Then there was pumpkin carving,

visiting grandparents and getting the traditional orange sucker,

and of course trick or treating.

I made Emmy a halloween playlist on my ipod. We've been having fun listening to classics like This is Halloween, Casper the Friendly Ghost, Monster Mash, Ghostbusters, etc. I still can't get them out of my head!

Gutting the pumpkin. She was scared to do it at first but then got pretty into it.

Getting ready to go trick or treating!

Oh the Scaries!

Happy Halloween! We interrupt our Disney tell all to bring you a few pictures from Halloween this year.

First, I thought I'd share a few pictures from Halloween's past.

Still one of my favorite pictures ever of her and one of my favorite costumes.

practicing her "ROAR" - I have to say, she was really ferocious by the end of the month. She's been practicing a long time for this. She has one of "those" mothers that buys halloween costumes in August on the very day they come into the stores.

Favorite candy of the night? Suckers. Her Great- Grandmother bought her a special one. Don't let this picture fool you - she wouldn't have shared that sucker for anything.

Emmy was so into Halloween this year. Even last year at the age of 1 1/2 she managed to hit about 50 houses with her cousins and carried her pumpkin full of good stuff the entire time. This year she has been into Halloween since September (because I'm one of "those" moms). She loved seeing pumpkins, ghosts, witches, etc all over the place. Anytime she saw a halloween decoration she would "Oh it's a scary!" and do this hilarious growling, scary voice thing. Too funny for words. Too bad her mother never got it on video camera. Oops.

Now we're working on her turkey "gobble, gobble"....
