Halloween 2014!

Halloween was such a fun day!  Brad was able to get off work a little early, so we spent some time that afternoon carving our pumpkins.  
Olivia was very hesitant after feeling the pumpkin at first, but after a few minutes she was ok to start a huge messy adventure.
She even gave it a few licks just for good measure.

Eden requested that Brad carve Elsa into her pumpkin, but fortunately for him he was able to get her to agree to a snowflake instead.  
Bentley wanted Spiderman, but again, Brad's persuasion skills were successful again and Bentley  agreed to a simple spider instead.  Also, for the record, Bentley would NOT stick his hand into that pumpkin.  He had no interest at all in touching any "guts".

Getting five people to look at the camera at the same time is very tricky. Unfortunately, we were never successful.
But we suggested doing something crazy and that got everyone looking at least.  ha ha

Eden was a beautiful Queen Elsa.
Bentley was a very stealthy Ninja.

And Olivia was an adorable princess.

The kids were very excited to sort through their candy upon returning from treat-or-treating.

Olivia tried very hard to get the candy out of it's wrapper.  Fortunately for me she was never successful.
Holidays with kids are so much fun!  Eden and Bentley had a blast together, and we love sharing in that magic with them.  Bentley is already talking about Halloween coming again soon.  :)


And, just because they are too adorable to leave off - here are a few more of princess Olivia.  :)
Thank you Kally for the amazing hat you made!  You are so talented!

This was the first year the concept of "free candy" started to sink in with the kids. Eden, true to a 5-year-old kid, said she had to go potty when we were right in the middle of it. I told her we could go back but that would be the end of trick-or-treating. She somehow found a way to hold it.

Bentley looks like a real Ninja. Olivia and Eden are real princesses, of course. Bentley will have his hands full keeping the boys away from them.
