Halloween 2009

For Halloween, Adalei, Brielle, and I made chocolate and vanilla covered pretzels with Halloween molds. They were really good, cute, and delicious. I think we'll do it again next year too.


(Charity, thanks for the tips to help us do it!)







Adalei really liked the chocolate covered pretzels best.


















Brielle was excited to eat any candy flavored pretzel covering.













A cute little expression.....

















Adalei was the cutest little witch! Brielle is just a darling lady bug!

















This is Brielle's favorite time of day when her dad throws her in the air. She was running around and Nate was trying to keep her from using up all her energy before we left for trick or treating.

Unfortunately Brielle had no desire to walk or run by the
time we left to go trick or treating so Nate carried her almost
all the way.











This picture shows all the pumpkins they carved for Halloween. Misty later cooked all the pumpkin to make pies and roasted the pumpkin seeds with olive oil. The pumpkin seeds were great! I'm sure the pie was also but I didn't taste it.

Nate, Elijah, Brielle, Misty, and Adalei...







This is Nate going trick or treating - Brielle was on his shoulders 99% of the time. He got quite a work out with carrying two kids. Elijah was so good - I don't think he cried at all. I think he slept the whole time.















The girls were a little intimidated by these decorations so Nate went to the door with them.












I hope you can see what's really happening in this picture - Brielle is sleeping and still holding on to her bag of candy. Nate carried her quite a distance after she fell asleep and you can see that he is still holding the baby at the same time. Misty was watching to make sure Brielle didn't let go and fall off Nate's shoulders.





This is Adalei trying some of her candy. After she went to bed that night, her parents said she never asked for her candy again. Of course, Brielle was fast asleep and missed eating any of her candy. Brielle didn't get much candy as she only went to a couple of doors.





Adalei went to most of the doors herself. She is a brave little girl.

What a fun Halloween we all had! I was so happy to be invited to go along.
