Happy Halloween!

This year I decided to make Chloie's costume and it turned out pretty cute!
Her cute cousins, Paisley, Rylee, and Hadlee were tinkerbell for halloween so I thought it would be fun to have Chloie be a fairy too.


It was so much fun this year, Chloie was actually interested in what was happening. (last year not so much)
We went to my parents ward first for trunk or treating and she was hilarious. She would not talk to anyone! Normally the child doesn't stop. I think she may have been overwhelmed by all the people running around dressed up all crazy. But she would take candy from people and run to either Baylie or I (whoever was holding her candy bag) and put the candy in it, EXCEPT for the dum-dums. She had to hold all of those. :)
After that we went to visit my Grandma and Grandpa Fowlks and were greeted by "grandma" (My grandpa wearing a wig pretending to be grandma). Chloie LOVES her Grandpa-Great but would not go near him til he took off the wig. She spent some time playing with Grandma-Great and some spider rings (she had about 8 rings on her tiny hands at one point, She loved them).
Then we headed to Grandma and Grandpa Andrus' ward for their trick-or-treat. It was a lot of fun following Chloie and her Grandma around the Church getting more candy and seeing everyone's costumes. (Royalyn kept making sure to introduce us to everyone, Chloie as Ben's first little girl and my belly as Ben's second little girl. (She is such a cute grandma! :) ) Apparently people were shocked by the fact that we already know what we're having and that I am due in just over 6 weeks. I don't feel like I'm that small, in fact I feel rather large.)
 By the time Ben got to the Church we had gone around the whole place and collected TONS of candy. (Ben was working at the fire station and didn't get off til after 7) Chloie was having a blast running around the gym gabbering at everyone and watching Charlie Brown. I guess the fun really wore her out. She passed out within minutes of getting home and in her pj's. :)

It's so fun to spend time with family on holidays and the bigger Chloie gets the more fun it is!



Hope you all had a happy Halloween!
