Halloween!

Halloween celebrations round one. Here we are all decked out for the ward Halloween party. I was a jailbird. Not too creative, I know, but oh well. Chelsea is Minnie Mouse (with Pluto) and Rick is Mickey Mouse and Brienna is a pink leopard! Aren't we just cute!?

She got the hang of these picture taking things at the zoo, but this one she just didn't understand that we wanted her to stick her face into the hole. Meh. Still cute!

What's with closing your eyes in all the pictures, Chels? If we had thought ahead, we could have put together a Disney costume for me too. Maybe I could have been Pluto or something. Or Brie and I could have had coordinating costumes. Oh well. Maybe we'll coordinate costumes ahead of time next year.

Trick or treating to some of the rooms at church. Good thing we had a pretty small basket. They had tons of candy to give away and told us to grab handfuls at each door. We don't want to have that much candy onhand. That just means it will get eaten by us who don't need it, or we will be pestered by Chelsea who would eat it all at once if allowed.

This is a funny picture to me. It looks like she's sticking her face way out like, look at me here I am! So cute! Brie didn't get to go the the party. She stayed home with Grandma Kelly while the rest of us went. She was just a little too young to take out yet. But we still dressed her up anyway. So worth it!

Full body shot. Good thing she can't really move yet. I didn't even notice that she's laying by the edge of the couch until after I took the picture! (We were in a hurry to get going. I had to feed this little one before we went to the party and we were running late because of it.)

Halloween celebrations round two. This is trick or treating at the mall. Chelsea loved it. Brie got to come along this time but she slept the whole time and didn't get any candy at all. She didn't seem to mind though. :)

My Minnie! Adorable, as always.

We stopped by a few select houses to trick or treat. Here we are with Great Grandma Heit. Chelsea got candy and Brie got a special gift too. (Blanket and some bibs, very nice) Mickey and the jailbird stayed home, but a pair of cloaked wizards came along.

Here at Grandma Heit's house the girls sat on the couch together. I love how their arms are positioned in the same way. Can't tell they are related, can you?

It was very cute of Chelsea to try to comfort her baby sister by holding her hand when she cried. It didn't do anything to calm Brienna down, but it was a nice gesture anyway.

Last stop of the evening was Grandma Kelly's. I took this picture mostly to show the cute little tail on her costume. Love it!

Cute pictures! I especially appreciate the ones of Brie in her costume since those are some of the best pictures I've seen of her with her eyes open. I also like Rick's costume. ;) And Erin, you look really good in those pictures!
