Happy Halloween!! Trinity was a Butterfly Princess for Halloween this year. We dressed up last Sunday for a party at our church- games and candy. On Halloween we were in Hays cheering on our niece, Danica, at the state volleyball tourney, so we didn't get to trick-or-treat that evening. (Our volleyball team had an undefeated season and came up against some very good teams at the state tourney- as hard as the girls tried, they didn't make it to the finals. We are so proud of you, Danica!) Since our whole town was in Hays at the volleyball games on Halloween, kids trick-or-treated yesterday evening (Sunday). Aaron and I went to a movie, Fireproof, with our bible study, so Trinity went to Aunt Shelly's and helped hand out candy, which she loved doing! Here is her in her costume!
Her favorite candy- Tootsie Rolls!
Our little almost 2-year old is really starting to show her independence more and more. When getting her dressed for the party at our church, I tried to put a crown on her- every princess needs a crown! She decided that it was cold out and she would need a hat...after several minutes of me trying to persuade her that it wasn't cold out, she won and wore the hat...then, and only then, would she wear the crown!!
Here is the way I wanted her to wear it...it took me a bribe of candy to even get this picture!
Grandpa and Eli...he loves stopping by for hugs!
Trinity and Papa out for a stroll around the yard!
Trying to help Eli get rid of some gas!
Uncle Jeremey (my sister Jessica's husband)...I wonder if he's telling him that he'll teach him how to fly one day?!
Aunt Karen (my brother Jerid's wife)- loving up on Eli! And cousin Audrey...Trinity was more her speed, but she did like to lay beside Eli.
Oh, miss Abbey...she was wonderful with Eli!! Even if he cried when she held him, she wouldn't hand him back, she'd try to comfort him...and most of the time she did! Here she's trying to help him feel better with his gassy tummy! Miss Abbey, you're a wonderful niece and cousin!
...and here's Emalie. At one point during the visit, she was sitting on the floor giving Eli 'love pats' to his head. Of course she could have been meaning, "What are you doing here? I used to be the baby in this family! You're in my territory...I'll show you who's boss, little boy!" She did like him and I'm guessing that the two of them will cause much trouble as they grow up together!
