Happy Halloween - 2009

Despite the thick blanket of snow that covered the ground, Halloween dawned with bright blue skies and temperatures that eventually reached the low sixties. Ryan and I had agreed to meet Don and Alyssa at Southlands Mall (similar to Village Pointe in Omaha) around 1:30 to do some trick or treating at participating stores. The mall was hosting a Halloween event for kids with bounce houses, story reading, face painting and of course LOTS of candy. The weather was gorgeous and there were a TON of people with lines that stretched for blocks as people waited to receive their candy. We were content just to walk around and look at all the costumes as none of us wanted to wait that long. Cael spent the outing being carried by Daddy and Aveyn was fast asleep in her car seat!

Once we got back to the house, it was time for Cael to do some trick or treating around the neighborhood. We did a quick costume change, took some pictures and then he left with Daddy while I stayed home with Aveyn (she was exhausted from all of the trick or treating at the mall)! He went as a skunk this time and was so stinkin' (HA - pun intended) cute. Grandma made the costume for Nolan and offered to bring it out for Cael to use. We weren't sure it was going to fit, but it turned out perfectly!!!
