Happy Halloween!

This year was the first year that Camryn seems to be really "getting" holidays. Up until this point I think I have been more excited for her then she was. That definitely changed this year! Cami has been sooooo excited for Halloween. Every time we drove past some one's house that was decorated, or saw a pumpkin display in the grocery store she would get so excited and ask if it was Halloween yet. She was equally excited to dress up like Sleeping Beauty. She would tell friends, neighbors, and strangers alike that she was going to be sleeping beauty and get candy for Halloween. Needless to say she had so much fun.

Before going out to trick-or-treat Camryn and Daddy carve her first Jack-o-lantern. Cami was very excited to do this until she saw all the stringy pumpkin guts... one look at all that and Dad was on his own for the cleaning out of the pumpkin. Cam just gave instructions from a safe distance. She cracks me up... I don't know where she gets these girly girl tendencies, (note I am no where near those yucky guts either :0)


Once clean she once again love the pumpkin and takes a front row seat giving Daddy instructions on what shape to make the eyes, nose, and mouth.

The lighting of the Jack-o-lantern!

Next, we got dressed in our costumes for trick-or-treating. Camryn was Sleeping Beauty.




Mom was a speed bump, (there are limited choices when you are "rounding" to your eighth month...just 8 weeks left!!)


Cami was a pro. She love the whole concept of trick-or-treating...what kid doesn't. She was always very loud and clear with her "Trick-or-treat", "Thank you", and the occasional, "Happy Halloween Too!" One thing she is not is shy.

We hope you all had a Happy Halloween too!
