Halloween

This year Aubrey was awake and didn't miss a thing! Last year she slept through most of the day but she made up for it this year. We started the day by going to church and Aubrey wore her Halloween shirt from Old Navy.

We then came back home so that Brian could make chili for the Chili Cook-Off. He made a huge batch with chicken, pork, hot links and brisket and it was yummy! We then headed back to church for the Harvest Festival. Aubrey went in costume and she looked so cute. We had some issues finding a costume for her. Everything that we found in her size was way too warm for an Arizona Halloween. The cute fleece monkey, ladybug and duck suits just weren't gonna cut it. We ended up creating her costume. She had on a blue tutu and sparkly fairy wings that were pink and yellow. We paired these with a pink onesie and her pink slipper shoes. Her hair was up in pigtails and she looked like a cute little fairy! She got a lot of compliments!

After chowing on some mac and cheese and applesauce (the adults had chili) we were ready tp head out and see what the Fall Festival was all about. Aubrey and Brian went over to the petting zoo and she had fun petting a goat. After that we went to the parking lot for Trunk or Treat. Basically, people would decorate their trunks and hand out candy to the trick or treaters. We had candy but no decorations. I took Aubrey to 1 car and she was not interested. We tried another 2 and she wasn't getting the idea of holding the bag out for people to drop the candy in. After the third try we just walked by the rest to look at the decorations and then we ended up at the bouncing castle. I saw one her her classmates, Chase, in there with his mom so we went in to join them. She had a lot of fun watching me bounce and getting moved all around by my weight. She was smiling and giggling up a storm.

After the bouncing castle we went back to the car and packed up. We headed back to our neighborhood and stopped by Don and Laurie's street to say "Hello" and show off Aubrey's costume. We stayed for awhile and she was walking all around the driveway...she covered every square inch! We then left and came back to the house where Aubrey helped hand out candy with Brian, Jeremy, Eunice, Osito and Trixie.
