Halloween 2011

Halloween night!! SO FUN!!

We took a few pictures at the house before we headed to the Duffy's house to meet up with Noah, Maggie, Eli, and Ella Kate for some trick-or-treating!!
Max was all about being a BOXER!!!
"I am the CHAMPION!!!!"

Another try at some pictures together....

Our lil pumpkin!!!

Okay...not the best but not horrible either....LOL

Awwww...what a little cutie!! We had a hard time getting Emery to sit still. Notice a play phone in her hand. That was helpful to get her to sit for a minute :)

Max and Noah!!! How stinking cute are they!! They were super excited to be together for Halloween night!!

They both ran upstairs to play together after we got there. I think they would have both been just fine to stay at home and play! LOL

Group Picture!!!

And we are off to our first house!!!

Emery tried to join in at first but she was more interested in leafs and stuff on the ground! Ha!

Max and Noah were just LOVING running door to door!! They got the hang of things pretty quick. Once they figured out lights off meant no candy they would just skip over those and on to the next one!

At one of the houses the kids got a drink and a bag of chips!! Eli came running out saying "Halloween BONUS!!!" I was cracking up!!

How precious is Maggie!! I think she just may have been the most excited out of any of the kids! She LOVED running door to door and getting candy!!

Max trying to get candy with his boxing gloves on!! ha ha

The kids really had such a great time running around together!

After about 10-15 houses we headed back to their house!! The kids were so ready to see what all they got!!

Check out all that candy!!! They definitely racked up!!

Yay for CANDY!!!!

Max was so excited about his pumpkin sucker!! Ha!! He was yelling to Noah about it!!

After our fun with friends we headed off to Nana and Pawpaw's house!! Check out the goodies they got from them!!

The kids LOVED their new cups and treats!! Thanks Nana and Pawpaw!!!

Family Pic!!!

And one with Nana and Pawpaw too!!!

We headed to Grandmother and Granddaddy's house next!! Max was pouting here because he wasn't going to get to play with the pool table/sports table tonight!!

But Granddaddy got him perked up when he told Max to come over and box with him!!

Max did NOT even take it easy on him!! He was throwing some mean punches!! LOL

All in all a fabulous night! Loved being able to share this night with some wonderful friends and family!!! Makes for a perfect night!!

Sunday Class Hayride/Bonfire!

Today was such a wonderful day!! I took off tonight so we could join in on our Sunday school class hayride/bonfire out at our friends The Hamlin's land!! I loved being able to come home take a little nap and be woken by my two babies jumping into the bed with me after church! I got up and we all had some lunch together and then had another little nap before heading out to our Halloween Party with some dear friends!!

Max was SO EXCITED to be able to finally play in his boxing Halloween costume again!! He just loves his little costume!! And doesn't he just look so adorable!!
And of course Emery looked super cute too dressed up as a little pumpkin!

Love that sweet little smile!! She wouldn't keep the hat on...but I don't blame her!

I tried to get a picture of the two of them together just in case they got their outfits completely filthy before tomorrow.

But Max was more interested in boxing his sister and of course Emery thought it was hilarious!! LOL I guess she is going to be a little rough and tough girl!!

First activity up.... the hay ride to look for candy!!

It was so cute how Angie (pictured below in the brown sweater) made up some clues to lead the kids to a bucket of candy somewhere on the land.

The bigger kids were so excited about finding the clues and figuring out where to go next. The little ones were just excited about the candy :)

It was perfect weather and just beautiful out at the Hamblins!!

Going to the next clue....

Yea for more candy!!

The last clue took the kids to the mini pumpkin patch!! They had to find their pumpkin with their name on the bottom!! Max was oh so excited! He was yelling "Look Mommy this one has M-A-X!! That's me!!" So cute!!

Happy boy!!!

I mean seriously...what kind of face is that!!

We attempted to get ALL the kids together for one big picture....

however....they didn't quite all sit together on the trailer....

but they did a pretty good job of all sitting down for a picture at the same time! LOL

After the candy and pumpkin finding we all headed into the barn for some yummy burgers and hotdogs!!

How cute are these center pieces!! I just LOVE it!!!

Max and Davis eating some dinner!!

Emery didn't want anything but a hotdog bun!! Ha!

After dinner Max went and joined in with the bigger boys to play TACKLE football!!!

I was back at the barn with Emery but Craig told me that Max was actually out there tackling some of the bigger boys!! Too funny!! He is ALL boy!!

Pumpkin PAINTING time!!!

Max ONLY wanted BLUE paint....imagine that!!!

He really got into it and had a lot of fun!!

As it was getting dark the started up the bonfire!! So glad I brought the wagon for Emery to be tucked away safely from the fire! Plus she LOVES it and had fun going on the some wagon rides!!

And Crawford LOVED it too!!! Emery and Crawford are only like a week apart in age!! Such cute babies!!!

Little Bliss insisted on Emery to come and sit with her!! So cute!!

And the last activity of the night...a nighttime hayride!!! Craig and Max went and had a blast!! Max came back telling me all about the Pumpkin Ghost!! Guess they were telling some silly stories as they were riding around in the dark :)

We had such a wonderful time with friends!! I truly feel so blessed to be a part of such an awesome Sunday school class!! A huge thanks to the Hamblins for hosting this get together!! And of course to all that participated to make it a great success!!
