Happy Halloween 2009!

Happy Halloween Everyone!
Love,
Little Bo Peep and her Cute Little Sheep!
My happy little lamb at the Ward Dinner and Trunk-or-Treat!
Look at her two little teeth!
Annalyn's not too sure about this holiday...she didn't love the hood to her costume much - that's for sure :-)
20+ years ago my mom took a bag of cotton balls and dressed my sister Dawni and I as sheep (cheap yet effective) and she went as Little Bo Peep. Well, here I am 20+ years later recreating it with my own little girl! I used a bag of cotton balls, an old white onesie, and some hot glue! (The pink was my own *Sherise can't resist* touch)
Here is Annalyn "high-centered" under the table at the Ward Chili Cook Off!
Annalyn fell asleep in carseat on the way home - the epitome of precious!
Thanks mom for sending me your dress! It was so fun to recreate this memory wearing the same dress that you wore! It was actually really fun to dress up!

So here's Annalyn's Halloween Day Outfit! Awwww!Here's Annalyn with my friend's husband Ryan - they bonded! (I love how Ryan hiked her pants up to her armpits...my very own "urkle" - haha) Here's Annalyn's buddies - Thanks guys for sharing Halloween dinner with us! Then we went trick-or-treating with them around the neighborhood.

(Translation: we watched the boys go up to the door and get candy. I figured if Annalyn got candy, I would just end up eating all of it and that didn't sound like a very good idea. Why tempt myself right?) Well, lo and behold... Keaton dropped his grape sucker on the floor after we got home and Annalyn was on it like a fly on manure (okay that's a bad analogy...but it'll have to do). Seriously though, I have never seen her crawl so fast. She got to it before I could stop her and thus we see the result. Halloween has now become her favorite holiday!! I let her suck on it long enough to get a picture and then took it away - oh priceless!
Another "thus we see"--- here is what happens when you go Old Navy Sale Shopping with your best friend! Loved it Emily! Thanks for helping me pick out that shirt!


Happy Halloween from Sherise, Travis, and Annalyn! Hope yours was "spooklacular!!"

WOW! I loved Annalyns costume, she is so adorable! I love the picture of her asleep in the car, too cute! I made Kaydence's costume with the same stuff but how did you do the ears? I couldn't go all out on her costume, she was anticostume got a mind of her own this year. You made a beautfiul little bo peep also, I love any excuse to dress up if I would have planned ahead I would have dressed up too! So fun!
