Happy Halloween

We had a lot of fun this Halloween! It started out the day before, we met up with Kate, Riley & Beckett and went trick-or-treating in downtown Bellingham (if you can believe it I forgot my camera, so no pictures!). Afterwards we went to Jeff & Andrea's church for "trunk-or-treating". It was great! If you haven't heard of that before, it's where a bunch of cars get together in a parking lot and decorate their trunks and hand out candy from there. It was perfect for Dawson since he just had to walk from car to car in a small parking lot rather than around neighborhoods up and down driveways and stairs.

When we got to the church there was games and music and then they let down this net full of balloons. This was Dawson's face when he saw all those balloons float to the ground. It was called "Monster Mash", once the balloons hit the ground all the kids had to stomp on them and pop every single balloon. Let's just say it got a little crazy and very loud in there but Dawson had a blast!

On Halloween night Lynn and Shane invited the gang over for dinner, treats and trick-or-treating. Here's a group shot of some of the kids that were there, from L to R: Riley, Dawson, Aiden, Owen, Luke, Mariah & Tyler.

Once we set out to trick-or-treat Grady, the dalmation decided he wasn't having it in the stroller and decided to keep me warm instead.

Lynn, Shane & Aiden were all pirates - they looked great!!

Tara, Jim & Tyler, the Harley Davidson biker dude.

Kate & Nate

Luke (the lion) & Beckett (the football) missed all the fun this year :)

The first thing I think when I look at this picture, besides how cute they look, is that they both have binkies in their mouths-lucky mama's!

Does it get any more adorable? Cousins Dawson & Aiden holding hands trick-or-treating.

This was Dawson's "thing" of the evening, when I wanted to take a picture of him and daddy, Chad crouched down to Dawson's level. So Dawson crouched down too, from then on he constantly crouched when he was ready to get his picture taken.

The Bennett gang!

My precious fireman

Note to self: Don't let Dawson choose costumes that require hats-he'll refuse to wear them.

Dawson laughing it up with Mooma & Poopa.

Leave it to Dawson, when we got back to Lynn & Shane's Dawson quickly discovered the cat door.

Dawson's 3rd Halloween was a blast!

Look at all that candy....mom & dad might have to help him out a little.

When Dawson saw Grady in this outfit he goes right up and touches the pumpkin and say's "pumpkin bum bum"
