Halloween Weekend

(Posted by Kathy & CJ) Sooo, we had a blast this past weekend. Addi has celebrated Halloween before, but this year it was really special. She seemed to actually understand what was happening better, and besides that, she was absolutely adorable as Shirley Temple. Kathy made the entire outfit, then we bought some shoes and socks at Wal Mart. We even made the lolipop.

Addi started out with a Halloween party at her school. They got their faces painted, played games, ate pizza, and painted Jack O'Lanterns. Kathy went by during the day to see them and take a few pictures.

After school, we headed to San Antonio so she could see everyone. She got to stop by Ma & Pa's, Nana's, Granny's, and a church festival. The kid has enough candy to last her until next Halloween. She even sang "Goodship Lollipop" all through the night.

On Saturday, Nana, Granny, and Sebastian came up to San Marcos to join us and Lacye at the Great Texas Pumpkin Drop. We all got to go up in a hot air balloon and throw our pumpkins all over the ground below. Of course, Nana was playing target practice with the workers and almost killed someone. Addi ended up being too scared to ride the balloon, so she was content with just playing in the bouncy castle.Overall, we had a terrific weekend and we found out just how wonderful it is to finally be back home.
