Halloween

Halloween was so fun this year.  Brylinn totally understood it.  She was not thrilled with the head piece to her costume but as soon as I explained to her that if she wore it she got candy, she couldn't get it on quick enough.  It was so strange the weather was so nice the whole day.  Ever since I was a kid I could almost always count on the first freezing snow storm to happen Halloween night. So that was a pleasant surprise.

We have three tradition we started the year we were married. The first one is matching costumes. I am a big fan of matching family costumes, so this year we all came from Sesame Street. Brylinn was Bird Bird, I was Elmo and Cody was Cookie Monster. 

 She loved trick or treating.  She would knock on the door and they would hold out the bowl of candy to let her pick one.  She would reach her hand in slowing, grab out one piece with a very suspicious face and put it in her bucket.  I think she was just waiting for me to take it away from her and tell her she couldn't have it or something.  But after a few doors she had it down.

I love this picture.  They both have the exact same facial expression.

When we got home she was so excited to dump out her loot and start enjoying it.

The tootsie roll was by far her favorite. 

The second tradition is carving pumpkins.  Last year Brylinn sat in the snugglie while Cody carved the pumkin.  This year she liked watching again but did not want to touch the "guts".  That freaked her out.

The third tradition is caramel apples. 

I love Halloween and I am pretty sure Brylinn made the cutest Big Bird ever.
