This is Halloween!

Halloween is one of my favorite times of the year! Only topped by Christmas and Lamb Days. It's just something about all the freaks that hits home with me. :) This year we spent Halloween with Family. We went to Green River for Brandon's Brothers baby, Kailee's blessing. She is so precious.

Brandon and I of course had to dress up. We went all out with our Hawaiian costumes . . . okay, not really, but at least we made an effort. It was Brooklyn's first Halloween and she was the cutest little fairy I've ever seen.Brooklyn with her Brady cousins. Eva the witch, Jocelyn the princess, Brooklyn the fairy, and Elise as Winnie the Pooh.
Here's our cute little fairy on her first Halloween!!
We went to the Halloween Carnival at Green River Elementary School. It was tons of fun to see all of the kids in their costumes. The had a costume contest and Brooklyn won for the 0 to 1 year old age group! She won a gift certificate, cookies, and a little black bat. All she gets to enjoy is the bat. :) Next year she'll get cookies for sure though .
All the cousins again. Brooklyn had to change out of her full costume because her skirt kept ending up in her mouth. Humm, imagine that with a six month old. Baby Kailee is also featured here. She was a little monkey.
On the 26th of July, Brooklyn and I went to the zoo with my sister Alyson and all the Aagard grandkids. We had such a good time. Josh, Vance, Jared, Alyson, Brooklyn, Jake, Me, and Emily.
This is the new baby elephant, Zuri. She was so playful. And though she may seem little, she weighed 250 lbs. at birth!! No thank you! I thought 5 lbs. was a lot!
Brooklyn loved the monkeys. They were probably her favorite. This trip to the zoo she was actually very aware of the animals and would watch them.
These were the cutest two monkeys. They were all snugglely and wrapped their tails together. So cute! I didn't know that they actually did that.
Me with all the kids on the teeter-tauter. Good times.We then went with Aunt Annie to Gardiner Village to the Witches Festival! We went on a witches treasure hunt and all the kids got cookies at the end. Everyone's favorite seemed to be Witchy Poo.Josh, Annie, Jake, Me, Brooklyn, Emily, and Vance at the Pumpkin House. We finished our day by going to the Haunted Trail in Murray. It is just the right amount of spooky for kids, and plus you get hot chocolate and donuts at the end. All for a $1.50!! Way fun. It was a great Halloween, and so much more fun with a little one!!
