Last Friday Hannah's preschool class had a party and I got to go to it because Bert was off. All the 4-K classes started their parties off with a parade around the church. The kids trick-or-treated at all the different administrative offices though out the building. Hannah was soooo excited about this party and had so much fun!
Her cute little class all dressed up!
On Saturday we went to a Halloween party at Cody and Becky's house. We had some yummy food and the kids got to play together, then the guys started carving the pumpkins. We had 13 kids between the 4 families there so there was lots of action the whole time.
Hannah and Shaelynn painted pumpkins and both did a great job!
This little nugget loved the bubble machine!
Bert kept a close eye on the GA/FL game (you can see the his phone propped up on the left side of the picture below) while carving our pumpkin. That's talent!
The finished product:
Emily loves making new friends! This is April and I don't think she and Em separated the whole party.
The girls were so excited about Halloween this year! They love to dress up any day, so when they get to dress up and then go out and about, it's extra special. It was also fun that it was so warm this year so that they could wear costumes without being all bundled up.
Emily was a queen for Halloween this year. I actually bought this dress at a big consignment sale in August for $6. It's still a little long for Hannah, but fits Emily perfectly. They've both had fun wearing it though over the last couple months.
Hannah Beth dressed up as "Anna" from Frozen and requested the pig tails. I thought she was adorable.
I asked Claire on the morning of the 31st what she wanted to be for Halloween (notice my lack of planning) and she said "a ballerina!" Easy enough! She was soooo excited about her costume and especially loved her hair up in a bun. She was happy to do a twirl for people when they asked if she knew how to dance. She was precious!
Abby of course had to wear the cow costume that all her sisters have worn on their first Halloween. It was a bit warm so she didn't wear it for long, but we had to get some pictures of her in it.
Our church had a "Trunk or Treat" on Halloween night and it was such a fun event. Everyone that decorated their trunks did such an awesome job! We had a great crowd (both workers and families coming through), especially for our first year doing it. It was laid back enough that we were able to really connect with some of the visitors coming through. Our girls definitely had a blast!
We made it back home from church a little before 8 and then I let them trick or treat to a couple houses in our neighborhood.
All four of our babies in their cow costume on their first Halloween!

I love that they all got to wear it! Claire's picture cracks me up...I still remember her refusing to smile for me that night. I put the above picture up on Facebook and Instagram and asked friends and family to guess who was who. Several got them all right, but some switched Abby and Hannah and others switched Abby and Emily, but everyone got Claire right. Ha! I guess she hasn't changed that much!
Halloween 2016 was a success!
