Happy Halloween!

We kicked off our Halloween festivities on Friday night, with a party at the club in our neighborhood. Our friends, Susan and David were nice enough to invite us along, and we had a great time!

Susan and Gavin, Me and Caroline
Daddy Duty
David and Gavin, Jon and Caroline, Justin and Reese
Pony ride! Caroline was VERY interested in the horses (she barked at them, of course). She kept following them everywhere, but when it was her turn, she preferred to just sit on the pony. She did not like the idea of the pony moving...I am pretty sure her expression is an equal mix of sheer terror and sheer delight :)
Uncle Justin came to visit us this weekend, which was SUCH a treat! Saturday, Jon headed to Waco to tailgate for the Nebraska/BU game. Uncle Justin, Caroline, and I watched the game on TV, and relaxed all afternoon :)

When Jon got home, we went to our neighborhood block party!

Peek a Boo!


Caroline loved waddling around in her ducky costume.

She did the "Candied Apple Walk" with Daddy...too bad they didn't win :(
She didn't like standing on the little numbered spots around the circle. It was WAY more fun to stand in the middle of the circle....That way everyone could see her ;)
Checking things out with Mommy
Our neighbors set up a really elaborate Halloween display in their yard. Complete with flashing lights and music. Caroline has LOVED checking it out everyday. After the block party, we went over for one more look...
She was dancing to the spooky music.
We relaxed and played a little b-ball with Uncle J.
We love Uncle Justin!

We didn't end up actually trick or treating. It got too late, and she was tired and cranky! Oh well, better luck next year :)

We put C to bed, and cooked out with the Lehr's and the Hogeboom's. It was fun to watch the game, hand out candy, and relax with great friends!!!

Happy Halloween!!!
