We began the weekend by making a Chocolate Haunted House as a family on Saturday morning.
Grammy bought us the kit and we were very excited to get creative.
Quynn watched as Avrey, Mommy, and Daddy decorated.
Avrey found out how much fun it was to eat the candy instead of use it for decorating purposes.
We were all very proud of how our haunted house turned out. The best part was eating the house afterward and walking around with jet black teeth and lips from the icing.
Then we got dressed up and went trick-or-treating downtown. Quynn dressed up as a Pump-Quynn.
Avrey dressed up like a black cat and carried around her McDonald's candy bucket. She would not say "trick-or-treat" instead she just held up her bucket and said "please".
Lastly we went to the Captain Cook Hotel and decorated Halloween cookies - Yum!
On Sunday we dressed up again, this time Avrey was Alice in Wonderland, then we went to a Halloween party and trick-or-treating to a few special houses (Granny's, Grammy's, and Annette's).
Granny gave Avrey a very special Halloween package with ghost and pumpkin lollipops. What a wonderful Granny!
Granny also sent Quynn her first Halloween card. Quynn loved it so much; she chewed on it for hours (thank goodness Hallmark cards are good quality or the card would have been torn to shreds).
Our last stop was at Grammy and Pop Pop's. Grammy gave Avrey, Mommy, and Daddy special Halloween treat bags and then we took pictures with the Jack-o-lantern that Avrey and Pop Pop carved.
What a wonderful Halloween weekend!
We can't wait until next year. Avrey already has her costume picked out - she wants to be a Musketeer!
Now Avrey can't wait to have a second sleepover!
She can get up on all "fours" and rock back and forth.
She can even do 'donkey kicks' with her back legs and the 'downward dog' yoga pose.

Granny says that my snowsuit makes my eyes look beautifully blue just like my mama's. Mama says Granny is a really smart lady.
Scott thought it appropriate to break out the red and white tie my mom bought him.
So many things to be THANKFUL for...
Now just over 38 days until we celebrate Thanksgiving again!
I have been working on it a lot lately.
According to the below picture, I think may have perfected it.
My mom says it's just TOO DARN CUTE!
