Halloween Festivities!

Berit has gotten some good use out of her chicken costume.  First, she had a Halloween parade/party at school.  I went to pick her up when it was over, and she didn't want to leave!  She was having so much fun!

First time seeing a pumpkin

Ms. Meredith shows me the inside

After her party, we went and surprised Auntie M at work!  She loves the mirrors at the salon! 

Then, the next day, we had some friends over for dinner, and all the kiddos wore their costumes. 

Elena (Minnie, of course!) and Berit

THEN, the next day (Saturday) we went to the Highlands in Denver to attend a Halloween Carnival with the Reid family. 

Off we go!

Having a fun time!

Cutest chicken ever!!!!!

Tuckered out after the day's events.

Now, that leads us to the official day of Halloween!  We carved a pumpkin (well, Daddy did), and explored the goodies on the front porch. 

What's in here?

So fun! 

My chicken little!

Playing with the gourds.

Finished pumpkin!

There will be no candy for this little lady....she has decided that she does not like brushing her teeth. All of a sudden, teeth brushing is not for her...this, the little girl who used to love it.  Oh, well-- women have the right to change their minds.  But until then, no candy!
