Happy Halloween

Trick or Treat!

McKay stumbled across our candy stash for trick or treaters. Hmm.. Rice Cereal, oatmeal, sweet potatoes, Reeses. Why not?

The plastic wrappers were exceptionally delicious

Of course our Halloween day included a quick skate around the parking lot with Dad. This may be a little safer in a car seat, rather than free-flying as posted previously. We're learning to be responsible I guess.

Amongst other activities, this Halloween day we drove up to Heber to pick up an exersaucer that we bought used off KSL. It was actually really fun to drive up the canyon. The sun was just coming up and it was foggy and made for a somewhat eerie drive.. very appropro for the day.

Turns out the exersaucer is actually pretty girly. It's okay, McKay can't tell. He CAN hear the scary sounds, though, that the plastic balls make in the toys. VERY FRIGHTENING! Hopefully he'll get used to it soon, because I'm counting on him liking this item!

Sucking the bottom lip: a favorite pastime and makes for a very sweet face.

Yes, that is the snowboard movie double decade playing in the background. Brenan is getting pumped for the snow. He even brought his board to Heber in case he spotted a patch of snow, just to stand on it all strapped in. He was disappointed: no snow.

I was so excited when I came home with McKay's first Halloween outfit: a cow! NOT! Brenan pointed out that it is actually a giraffe.. although you can't see the horns in this picture (or are they antlers? I think they look more like antennas). You can look at the 2nd picture in this post to see them.

This costume was quite fitting because McKay is so long!

For Halloween night, we handed out candy to some neighborhood kids which was so fun. McKay helped open the door when they came trick-or-treating. We then went to visit some favs from our old ward that we were in for a year and half. We miss 6th ward so much. We visited Anne Bates who is a lady I absolutely adore. She is so fabulous and although she has already raised all her children and we're at different stages of life, I feel such a close friendship with her. We hadn't been to see her since we moved, and she needed to meet McKay. She was so surprised to see us standing on her porch - with a 5 month old! Time sure flies.

We also stopped by Aunt Jackie' s and Aunt Christy's to show off McKay's cute outfit. It was a great night.
