Halloween 2008

This year was so fun! As most of you know, last year Amelia was still in the hospital for Halloween! Last year Halloween was the marking of her first bath and then we dressed her up in pumpkin attire! This year, she was a lamb. My plan was for me to be Mary...but I couldn't find a costume that I liked that would go with it. Anyway, This Halloween has been pretty eventful! Amelia has worn her costume quite a few times, which always makes me happy! She wore her costume to Boo at the Zoo last week. It was her first time to the zoo and rather than doing any trick or treating there we just went and checked out the animals. Amelia loved it, well she didn't love the bears or the geese, but overall loved it. She even touched a lizard. Here are some photos from the zoo.


We then carved pumpkins for our Family Home Evening activity! This was a lot of fun and Amelia had an enjoyable time! Rob carved a pumpkin that had a booger coming out of the nose, Amelia and I made a girl pumpkin and Kelly and Jason carved a barfer. So...here are some photos from our carving day!




Amelia decided to taste the pumpkin and was not impressed!


We then went to our ward Halloween party where Amelia walked in the costume parade, see added video!


Finally the day came for Amelia to go Trick or Treating and have make-up on with her costume! It was very exciting! We left home and went to Rob's sister's house, Sara. We then headed for Grandpa Rasmussen and my little lamb fell asleep. Luckily, she woke up right before we left Grandpa Rasmussen's so she was ready to see everyone else!

I love the costume! I hope that you didn't get as much candy as we did. We had two bags full. Your pumpkins were also very creative. I laughed to read that your little one also decided to taste the pumpkin guts. Meira made a similar face when she tasted it. :-) Yuck! They are too funny.
