Halloween and Mom's visit

Having a baby to dress up for Halloween was great! And to add to the excitement, my mom flew out here to play with us for a few days! I have so much fun with my mom when she comes....we hit the outlets, made Claire's birthday decorations, shopped some more, and did a lot of Halloween activities.

Camille convinced us to carve pumpkins (Ben, my mom, and I...not the most artistic people). So we busted out the "easy level" tracing shapes for pumpkins and got to work. We were quite pleased with our results :)

Our ward had a Halloween get-together and trunk-or-treat (and so did Bryce's ward...yes, we hit up both :), so Paige had multiple opportunities to wear her ladybug costume. My sister had this costume for Grace and we were more than happy to keep the look going.

Hanging with Delaney

My niece, Claire, had her first birthday while my mom was here, so we had a great time helping (with the pathetic crafty skills we have) with the adorable decorations and enjoying the party.

Claire chose Olive Garden for her birthday dinner ;)

My cousin Jordan and his girlfriend Megan drove down for the party

One happy birthday girl!

 Halloween night we got the kids all dressed up and headed out. Graham was an excellent trick-or-treater and the girls were happy to be along for the ride.

Can't wait for more fun Halloweens with our little girl and more fun visits from mom!
