Our First Halloween

This Halloween was pretty special for us.

It was Braxton's First Halloween

and

Nate and I celebrated our First Halloween together 7 years ago while on our First Date!!

This weekend was the first full weekend I haven't worked in two weeks and we definitely took advantage of it!

On Saturday we went to Chili's for lunch for my wonderful mom's Birthday

followed by some Trick-or-Treating at Great Grandpa Davis' house,

Stopping by Grandma Gerrie's annual Halloween Party

-complete with soup and pictures of all the Grand and Great Grand kids-

(you will find pictures of only some of the costumes below)

- Our Relaxin' Lion -

-Our Family of Oz -



-The Grand Kids -

-The Great Grand Kids -

-The Cutest Lion and Monkey you'll ever see-

- Tanner the Monkey-



-Emily and Tanner the Zoo family-
(Brad was also a Zoo worker)



-The Ninja Turtles-
?????????????




-Oh, it's just Logan and Natasha-

-Gabe the Batwitch-

-Kyler AKA Dwight-

Then it was off to Grandma Carolyn's house for some Trick-or-Treating

And finally to finish off the night

Dinner and games with some friends.

It was a very long and very eventful day!

Poor Braxton was definitely done by the end of it all. When I was putting him in his car seat to get ready to go to the last couple of houses he gave me the saddest "what are you doing to me" look and would start to cry. I think he was pretty sick of having his costume taken on and off so many times! He was such a trooper though!

Sunday we decided to have my family over for my mom's birthday dinner and cake

- "47" -

-She got lots of help blowing out HER candles-

And Braxton got his THIRD hair cut

Thank you so much Aunt Sami. It was MUCH needed!!

-What are you doing to me Grandma? -

(Don't worry, Braxton forgave Grandma really soon after)

and then we just hung out the rest of the day! We all needed a good day for relaxing after the crazy Saturday we had!

I really wanted to pass out candy and since we weren't home on Saturday to do it I figured we would get some in case anyone came by Sunday night. I was so sad when we only had 2 young boys - probably 8 and 10 years old- and they came together!!

What a great weekend filled with lots of time with family. I can't think of a better way to spend a weekend!
