Trick-Or-Treating

We had a fun Halloween! Lilly's first time trick-or-treating and she learned from a pro! Coen took her house to house and was very patient and protective of her. At one house they only gave her one candy and he made sure to wait until Lilly got her second piece of candy. Here are some pictures of us trick-or-treating.

Me trying to keep her from running away without holding her hand or picking her up. She didn't want to be slowed down at all!

She loved trick-or-treating! She mostly loved the crowds. She kept squealing with joy and would start walking off following a different crowd. This was by far Lilly's favorite holiday!

Afterwards celebrating with candy and decorating cookies.

Delicious!

Such a cute little "Lilly" Bug!

Cuddling with Ryan's Mom.

Happy Halloween!

Happy Halloween Everyone!! We hope you have a fun holiday!

We went to a costume party last night at one of our neighbors that also know my parents. Lilly had lost of fun. There were lots of kids for her to play with and follow around. Here are some pictures. We will post more Halloween pictures after trick-or treating tonight!

The family all dressed up.

Playing with some of the gross toys. This one was squishy with goo bubbling out the eyeballs.

A good picture of her pretty wings.

Baking Cookies

We baked some sugar cookies for Halloween. It was the first time Lilly really wanted to help. Most of the help included eating as much dough as possible. Here are some photos of her helping out.

Very excited to get her hands on that cookie dough.

Getting started.


Yum! Finally a mouth full of delicious dough. She kept trying to get handfuls of it to take with her.

Candy Monster

In order to share this post we must admit we have broken into the Halloween candy early.. That being said Lilly has found the hiding place and has been trying to help herself to some sweet treats. She has also started growling/roaring just in time for Halloween. Here are some pictures of our Candy Monster in action!

Finding the candy stash.

Trying so hard to open one.

Still can't figure out how to get through the wrapper.

Pumpkin Carving

Here are some pictures of Lilly displaying our carved pumpkins and of the family carving event.

Lilly's pumpkin, no we didn't give her knives this year.

She doesn't like different textures and was pretty grossed out by the pumpkin guts.

Visiting With the Hortons

The Hortons came to stay with us last weekend to attend another friend's wedding. I went to college with both of them and hadn't met their daughter Tori yet. Tori is 4 months older than Lilly. The girls were fast friends and had lost of fun playing together. It was so nice to meet baby Tori and to see the girls play. The girls both had lots of fun at the wedding, and so did we!

Us trying to take a picture with the babies.

The girls playing before dinner at Hopworks Urban Brewery, a VERY kid friendly place.

Checking out the Orangutans during our trip to the zoo.

And a picture of my big grown up girl. Couldn't resist including this one.

Pumpkin Patch

Here are some pictures of our trip to the pumpkin patch. Lilly was quite popular in her pumpkin outfit. We weren't the only ones that went home with a picture of her! Her pumpkin duds combined with her super social personality made for a fun outing.

Walking all by herself to the pumpkins.

Another one of her walking, can't get over how cute it is to see her walk everywhere.
