This year was Adelyn's first Halloween! She loved helping to carve pumpkins and especially to touch the slimy seeds! Her Halloween costume was picked out especially for Grandma "B"!! Grandma collects bees and we just couldn't resist dressing Addi up as an adorable bumblebee! Buzzzzzz....
Adelyn also mastered the whole trick-or-treating thing perfectly. Since she can say "peeze" (please) soooo cute, when we walked up to a house she would say "peeze" with this adorable little head tilt and melted every candy bowl holder's heart! They would put handfuls of candy in her little bucket as they oohed and ahhed over her! It was so funny!
The boys did an exceptional job of racing from house to house to get the most candy of course. Carson was a perfect Star Wars trooper and Kolby was Harry Potter. Kolby had a little magic wand that lit up and he used it to cast spells on everyone all night. They were both so cute! We had a great time!! I love Halloween!!!!
One Mommy. One Daddy. Two brothers. Four hearts who waited so long for our sister and daughter to come home. And now our wonderful family is finally complete!
